The space This is a Penthouse in luxury development Vaiven Del Mar. Vaivén was designed by renowned architect Rodrigo de la Pena to be the highest end residential development in Playa del Carmen. As such you have unique features such as 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (hard to find in an apartment in Playa), a large rooftop Solarium with your private Jacuzzi, a heated pool and stunning common areas which put you right in the middle of nature. It truly is a secluded Paradise where the outside world disappears. The best part - its a 5 min cab ride to 5th av or the exclusive Playacar Beach (in our opinion a nicer and less crowded beach than the center of town). You have access to all the development has to offer, including the business center, gym, your private solarium and 24 hour security. Some of the exclusive amenities the condo offers: - HEATED pool (this becomes important from November to April as it can get chilly in the afternoons and water temperature drops). - Private Rooftop with Jacuzzi - Dining table in rooftop so you can dine 'al fresco' - Fully appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook / serve - High Speed wi-fi (20mb download speed) so watching Netflix, streaming video, etc. is not a problem - HD Cable TV with over 120 channels (both English and Spanish) - Master grill to enjoy a cookout in the terrace - Flatscreen TVs (living area, master and double bedroom) - Crib and baby chair - if you are bringing an infant or a toddler we have you covered (if you need more than one just let us know beforehand). - Assigned underground parking space inside the development. - High end fixtures and appliances - Washer and dryer Guest access The guests have unlimited access to all the benefits the development offers: - 2 Large pools as well as 2 kiddie pools / shallow areas (including heated pool) - Full featured Gym - Business Center - 24 hour Security / Help service - Sunbathing chairs - Parking spot with access card as well as guest parking - Beautiful landscaped common areas (an interesting side note - most of the trees of the common areas are original jungle trees which the developers didint touch while they were building and designed the development around them) Other things to note Maid service is aprox $25 per day (depending on current exchange rate). She does a thorough cleaning of the apartment, washes and changes all linens and towels, does dishes, can do laundry if you desire. We arrange it, you just let us know when you want it. We can also recommend a professional nanny service (which we use for our kids) who are fully bilingual. Finally, we can recommend for you a fantastic private chef, either for the duration of your stay or for a single romantic dinner (advance reservations are recommended). -- There has been a lot of talk of the sargazo lately and while the sargazo comes and goes its important to note that the beaches of the Riviera Maya, spectacular as they are, are not the only thing going on around here. Nature reserves, parks, cenotes, boat tours, diving, sailing, day trips to Chichen Itza or Valladolid, Mayan ruins... the list goes on. That being said, if you are a beach bum (like me) I will be happy to recommend to you the local beaches off the beaten path which have been mostly unaffected by the sargazo and which most tourists don't know about. They remain as beautiful and pristine as ever.. and are 10 min from the condo :) -- I'm a kitesurfer, if you kite I will show you all the local spots, provide advice on what gear to bring, windy season, etc. We also love eating out and exploring the vast Riviera Maya and can give you our take on the best spots to visit.
