Great, both the house and the attention of Mercedes and her team. The house was fully equipped. Nothing was missing. Very well located. The area's security area is very good. Definitely highly recommended and worth staying at again without a second thought.

Casa Bella Vista - Beautiful villa, extremely clean, great location. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10-15 minutes to town. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. We were a group of four couples and having four bedrooms all with ensuites was perfect. We have stayed at many Airbnb's and this one was by far, the most well stocked we have been to. The kitchen literally has everything you need to cook great meals. Having the extra fridge in the utility room was a bonus. The layout of the home is great. Melina and Mercedes were quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. Highly recommend this villa. We had a great time!

We loved everything about our stay at our beautiful Villa in Playa del Carmen. Mercedes was an excellent host. She responded quickly to all of our communication. She met the special requests we had. Since our family of 8 included a baby, this was so helpful. The house was beautiful and clean. It was less than a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous beach. We did not rent a car, but getting around was so easy. A 20 minute walk took us to several shops and restaurants. We hope to return someday soon!

We absolutely loved this charming home! It is beautifully decorated and had ample closet space for clothing so you feel right at home. It is exactly as pictured. We were able to walk to beach, shopping, and restaurants. Our family felt safe at all times. Mercedes and staff were so helpful and responsive if we had questions or needed help. The home was well stocked. So many necessities available! We had so much space, comfortable bedding, warm showers, etc. We would DEFINITELY stay again!! We loved it there!

Generally an awesome place! The house is fantastic. However, there were a few things that bothered me. First, the location. The house is located in a gated community, and getting to the main restaurant hubs by foot is neither convenient nor pretty/interesting. So if walking is your thing, this will bother you. Second, there are problems with the beach. I believe these are recent changes. The beach is experiencing a lot of corrosion, making it very rocky and thus hard to get into the water. I injured my foot on one of the rock on our first day, despite being aware of the rocks and being careful. Also, the beach (and it seems Playa del Carmen in general in 2025) unfortunately have a lot of algae. It's not a huge deal, but it does not feel or look pretty.

This is a wonderful house. We had a large group of 9 and it accommodated us all perfectly. Very close to the beach and to 5th Ave. I will definitely stay here again.

We spent two wonderful weeks in this lovely house. The Playacar location gave us easy access to an uncrowded, pristine stretch of beach. We could eat and shop in the expanding array of restaurants and stores that extend beyond the famed 5th Avenue but easily retreat to our comfortable home, where a swimming pool, tennis court and gazebo are just a few feet away. Mayan ruins and tropical plants separate the house from the beach, only a block and a half away. At night, one can hear the waves and awake to the sounds of birds. The rooftop terrace is perfect for sunrises and sunsets. The house is well appointed. The clean, efficient kitchen includes a refrigerator with purified cold water and ice on-demand. Each bedroom has an ensuite bath and there’s an additional first floor powder room. There’s even an outdoor grill for ambitious chefs. We enjoyed leisurely breakfasts on the terrace just off the kitchen and main living area. We look forward to returning!
