This was an awesome home away from home. It's a small apartment right in the heart of Playa del Carmen. The staff is so friendly and helpful. No dining options on site during rainy season. Worth every penny.

Great rooms great staff no vacation is perfect but no complaint on my part would have derailed a thing. Staff were helpful 24/7 and willing to help with anything asked. The location was perfect to either sit on the beach or walk a couple blocks to 5th where every store you could want to visit. Used the grill multiple nights as we sat on the rooftop deck to enjoy dinner. I promised that we would be back as I left and looks like I’ll be booking again so expect a follow up review in a couple months!
