The Beach Apartment
Our family loved our stay at this beautiful apartment. On the ground floor, surrounded by beauty, delightful walks to the beach and endless pools. Good food right within the complex, and an equipped kitchen to make eating in a breeze. Miguel was a friendly and helpful host, responsive to any concerns we had and informative about what we could do while staying in Playa del Carmen. Our kids 9 and 10 rated this home a 10/10

LUX 2BR Entire Apt AWA Playacar Golf Pool,
Amazing condo. I’ve stayed at A-BNB all over the world and this was by far the best. The place is gorgeous. Amazing location within the complex. Fully operational kitchen. Even little touches like soap, shampoo, etc made it that nicer. Michelle is a wonderful host and we have already booked again with her. Cannot give this whole experience enough stars!!!!

Cerca de 5ta Av., infinity pool, sauna, jacuzzi!
Nice studio apartment in a fantastic location. Just Steps to 5th avenue shops, restaurants and nightlife and a couple of blocks to the beach. Despite being close to the action, the unit was quiet which was a pleasant surprise. The unit was clean and well appointed. I had a bit of trouble with check-in but hosts responded immediately and quickly resolved the issue. The rooftop pool was well maintained and offered a gorgeous view - the perfect place to start or end your day. My only complaint is that the unit I was in did not have a nice balcony. I would definitely stay in this building again but would chose one of the other units hosted by Sebastian to try get a nicer balcony. Overall, I highly recommend!

NEW! Condo Coto8 | 10min to Beach|WIFI 200MB|Gym
I had an amazing stay at this property! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely safe and secure thanks to the 24/7 security and the gated community—it gave me so much peace of mind. The location is perfect, just 10-15 minutes from the beach, and the view from the property is absolutely beautiful. The space itself is clean, stylish, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Victor, the host, was incredibly attentive and maintained excellent communication throughout my visit, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing and worry-free getaway! My kids and I really loved this place! I can't wait to book this property again the next time I'm in Playa del Carmen. 😊

Rooftop pool | elevator | underground parking
I had a comfortable stay The location is very good and the apartment is very nice. Hosts are available for any needs. We only struggle with the arrival because the location that comes does not take you to the exact point.

Excellent house with a pool
It was what we expected, there was everything in the description, the host always very attentive. The house is not very close to the center and the beach, but since we were looking for only a place to sleep, it was very pleasant, quiet condominium, market nearby.

Beatiful apartment in Playa
The place has a lot of security and the place is very safe... Everything is very nice and clean. We really liked everyone and we had a great time, we would definitely come back

Your guide to Playa del Carmen
All About Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen has long been a destination for vacation-goers due to its palm tree-lined white sandy beaches, lush nature, and historic Mayan ruins just down the road in Xel-Há and Tulum. Located along the Riviera Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula area of Mexico, the beach town doubles as a base to explore nearby Xcacel and Xelhá, day trips where you can discover the region’s famous sinkholes, or Tulum, with its famous seaside Mayan ruins.
At Playa del Carmen, you can spend your days exploring archeological sites and natural wonders, your nights in the city’s clubs and restaurants, and your time in between simply relaxing in the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Playa del Carmen
Just about any month is a good time to enjoy vacation rentals in Playa del Carmen. The weather stays warm for most of the year, though you can expect more rainfall between the months of June and November. Also note that the peak of tropical storm and hurricane season is from August through October, so if you’re planning a trip during those months be sure to pay special attention to local weather advisories. Winter is ideal for those travelling from the Northern Hemisphere looking to escape the cold, since this time sees less rain in addition to less intense heat.
Top things to do in Playa del Carmen
Tulum Archeological Zone
Drive just under an hour from Playa del Carmen to get a glimpse into what Mayan life was like in the ancient port city of Tulum. Along the way you can stop for a swim in a cenote, or sinkhole, to cool down before continuing along the coastal road. Bring a hat, water, and sunscreen since you’ll be out in the sun most of the time here. The area also boasts beautiful beaches, some of which are protected as nesting areas for sea turtles.
Río Secreto and Cenote Chaak Tun
Río Secreto is part of an underwater river system where you’ll be able to snorkel in some of the unique geological wonders like underwater lakes and caves. Cenote Chaak Tun offers a hike through a cavern where you will see its iconic stalactite and stalagmites. Both natural wonders are just 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen.
Chikin Ha
A 30-minute drive from Playa del Carmen, this swimming spot doubles as a fascinating example of the local geography and culture. It offers rock climbing, biking, and sea-cave dives, as well as a chance to experience the ancient Temazcal steam bath ritual, a tradition passed down from the Mayans that focuses on sweating out toxins from the body while inside a steam filled cave-like structure.
