Great Location - Just steps from Mamitas Beach and Fifth Avenue ~ Special Rates
Our Condo Buena Vida at Las Olas is in the perfect location for a vacation get-a-way; set between Playa del Carmen’s most famous beach and vibrant international sidewalk scene. A mere half block from Las Olas, Playa’s Fifth Avenue pedestrian promenade beckons with relaxed cafes and gourmet restaurants, exclusive lounges, and al fresco bars, intriguing boutiques and local purveyors of all types and variety. It is also only 200 meters from the Caribbean beach. Relax at Mamitas Beach Club or Kool's Club - the most popular and hip beaches in Playa del Carmen. Swim in the beautiful warm Caribbean water and enjoy the view. If a swimming pool is more to your liking, guests of Las Olas get a 100 peso discount to rent a lounge and umbrella for the day and use of the pool at Kool's Beach Club. Even better, the fee goes toward your food and drinks! When you tire of the sun, your Las Olas home is only a few minutes away. Our guests also get a discount to spend the day at Mamitas Beach club. Pool, sand and the Caribbean - the perfect combination. A further, more private option is to visit the roof-top pool and spa next door at The Reef Hotel. For 300 pesos, you have access to everything including infinity pool, towels, showers, hot tubs, gym and restaurant, and the cost goes toward food and beverage. The view is spectacular! Condo Buena Vida has 1150 square feet of living space with unusually high 12 foot ceilings. Our condo is spacious and a rare find in Playa del Carmen. Tile floor extends onto the private outdoor terrace where one can dine and relax in the fresh breeze from the ocean. It is fully furnished with two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms each with King Beds, recently upgraded full bathrooms and walk-in tiled showers. You will also find a fully equipped chef's kitchen with granite counter tops, a separate laundry room, original paintings and many other fine details to provide quality and international style. Even the terrace is furnished for outdoor comfort and dining. Condo Buena Vida is safe and secure on the second floor of Las Olas with a full time security guard and a property manager to look after all your needs. Playa Del Carmen is a vibrant growing community. This is your chance to stay in a fully equipped condo close to the beach and all the amenities in a prime location. Blessed with perennially sunny skies and a mild climate, Playa prides itself on a relaxing open-air, pedestrian lifestyle. It’s a place to recharge your batteries, find your adventurous side or spend an afternoon happily exploring the finer points of doing absolutely nothing at all. Playa provides a vibrant variety of natural and multicultural experiences any time of year. When the sun rises over the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean it all comes to life. First-rate golf, esteemed spas, fine outdoors dining and an internationally acclaimed nightlife – the options of experiencing Playa Del Carmen are truly limitless. If you have any questions at all, please contact the host.

Loved the location, very entertaining. Close to beach, 5th Avenue and grocery shopping. Very well equipped kitchen. Spent a lot of evenings bbq’ing and eating on the spacious balcony. Thank you Ross & Lori.
Very nice apartment in a good area. Close to the beach and to grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities.Communication was good with the host, Ross. Very friendly & welcoming. No negatives that I can think of.
The condo, I highly recommend not only was the condo perfect and clean with a great location and distance from the beach, but the owners are really great, communicative offered lots of info about the area, with recommendations for food and things to do. I will absolutely stay with them again.
We had a great time in the property and we appreciated the beach toys/ chairs, etcI would suggest some beach towels and more wash clothes. ( there was only one in our bathroom)Overall we liked the downtown area, felt safe. The beach was very close!
Everything was wonderful during our two week stay at Las Olas!
Ir is very close to two bars with loud music, but the bedrooms were reasonably quiet for sleep.
We love to "people watch", so the balcony views entertained us.. whenever we felt like a diversion from the TV, etc.
Close to the beach and about two blocks from Chedraui Super store!
Thank you so much for an incredible stay! ..we hated to leave..
We had a wonderful time! The location is great! The well-equipped condo is minutes from a beautiful beach and 5th Avenue. There is an excellent grocery store nearby, as well as many restaurants and live entertainment options. We especially enjoyed the spacious balcony and having access to beach chairs and an umbrella. There was good communication with the host and the property manager. The area around the condo felt very safe. It was an easy walk to the ADO bus terminal that has a direct bus to the airport (for 250 pesos). A great experience overall!
Nice condo with great location between 5th and the beach
Communication with the owners was easy and they quickly responded. Locating and getting into the unit was easy, and as described. The unit was immaculately clean, which was greatly appreciated. My friend and I liked the location, but the music from the two nightclubs just a few steps from the building was over the top loud, one night until 3 a.m, on other nights they quit about 1:00. Double ear pugs worked fairly well for a good nights sleep. The first bedroom was very lit up by a streetlight, so bring an eye mask, too.
The unit’s kitchen had everything needed to cook meals except some oil/spray. I was never able to locate the hair dryer which was listed as present, but no big deal. I used the washer/dryer, and they worked well; I met my husband later for another week, so having the W/D was a nice amenity. The balcony was fun for people watching and enjoying the cool mornings. There are a couple pharmacies and a 7/11 just steps from the building, and they carry all the things you might need or forgot.
My wife, adult daughter, and I stayed in this clean, bright two bedroom apartment for 17 days and had a wonderful, no-complaint vacation. The apartment is clean and stocked with several items that make your stay comfortable and worry free. They have beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, and a beach trolly to carry everything to the beach. The place has three air conditioner units that work well and a nice outside deck that lets you enjoy watching everyone on their way to or from the beach. It is south and west facing so you get lots of light all day long. My wife worked part of the time and the WiFi worked flawlessly and there were no issues on that end. I loved the fact that there is a door code and no need for a key…one less thing to worry about when leaving for the day.The kitchen has everything that we needed form coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave and all the pots, pans and dishes that you would need. I did not have to buy anything extra to make my stay better.Ross and Lori provide a great book telling you about everything in and out of the apartment. The book share several places that they recommend that are close and even some great locations outside of PDC if you want to get out for a bit. You are within walking distance to hundreds of bars and restaurants and a nice grocery store.We were able to check in a bit earlier than the check in time and were allowed to stay a bit after our check out time. Ross and Lori are very easy to contact. Enjoy this paradise.
Beautiful space Great for me and my kids! Literally steps away from the beach! A lovely hammock to relax in after a long day at Mamitas. A lot of construction work happening as PDC keeps growing. But it didn’t bother us. The Reef 28 is literally across the street, rooftop access to the pool and bar (for a small access fee) but worth it.
This was an excellent condo! Could not have been more centrally located, beautifully appointed and comfortable. Owners were very communicative, the property manager was readily available, and we had a beautiful and relaxing week. Will definitely return.
This is a great listing. Clean. Great location. It made the visit very easy. Refrigerator gets too cold. Also, there isn't a pool or gym onsight. However, you can purchase a day pass at the beach club at a very affordable rate. And there is a free outdoor gym less than a 5 minute walk away.
Drawer in kitchen was already broken and grill was left dirty just an FYI

Wonderful Condo Fantastic Service and Great Location
Everything about our visit was better than expected. The Condo is safe and secure and in a great location near everything. Easy walking to Beach, Scuba shop and some of the best restaurants we have ever dined at. The Goodwin's have this well thought out and they have a great support team. We have stayed many many places in Playa over the past 20 years and this is by far the BEST.
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Las Olas. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable for the four of us. The balcony was a great place to relax and people watch. We loved being so close to everything - less than a 5 minute walk to both the beach and to 5th avenue. There was a bit of noise late into the evening from the restaurants next door, but it did not bother us too much. Overall, we had a great stay!
Great location....short walk to the beach and 1 block from 5th Ave. Very clean and roomy. Mary was an amazing housekeeper! Trevor was very prompt with contacting us back with answer about any concerns. Would definitely stay there again!
A great condo in the middle of everything. Very easy access to Mamitas and Kool Beach clubs. 5th Avenue is your playground. I recommend booking tours through the little booth next to La Bodeguita del Medio. Great people and great value.

Another amazing visit to Las Olas
We had such a great visit in 2017 that we booked another wonderful 2 weeks in 2018. Location and amenities are top notch. Washer & Dryer make all the difference. We packed so much less this trip. Easy walking to dozens of fabulous restaurants, scuba diving and the beach. Your still the BEST!
Hard to beat the location in Little Italy. The condo is well laid out and well provisioned. We spent a great amount of time on the deck watching the parade of people to and from the beach. It was much fun. Plenty of restaurants and bars in the immediate area. It’s full of life. Especially want to thank Ross for being such a gracious host. Highly Recommend this rental.

Great location, very comfortable place to stay!
This location is perfect! We walked to the Mega and did some shopping and cooked several meals there. We loved sitting on the patio. One day, 2 parrots landed on a line across the street while we were having breakfast! If you like healthy food, there are dozens of great restaurants within walking distance. Condo has lots of open space for - perfect for doing yoga or stretching. I would recommend this to anyone. Safe, convenient location, very nice owner who is very easy to reach by email.
Everything about this place was awesome.
Location? Awesome - 1 block from 5th ave shops & restaurants Condo? Awesome - only 2 of us stayed but easily could have accommodated 4. Terrace that was perfect for people watching. Furnishings were super comfortable
Check-in process? Awesome - door code worked without issue. Property manager called on the second day to make sure we settled in ok.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this rental for anyone traveling to Playa del Carmen!
The entire rental process was efficient and friendly. The apartment is just as pictured. The location is good in terms of getting to other places in Playa or catching shuttles. However, be forewarned that the area is very loud. The music plays from 11am to 11pm or 12am EVERY night. With the bedroom doors closed it muffles the sound well enough. The towels are a bit tired and there are only two beach towels. There were four of us, so we shared. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment and would stay again.

Great Accomodations - Fabulous Location
We stayed there over New Year's Eve and into mid-January. The condo was very nice... clean, roomy and well-laid out... provided us with everything we needed for our month-long stay. Perfectly located about 5 minutes down the street from the beautiful public-access beach, and about 3 minutes from the wonderful restaurants, bars and shops along 5th Ave... perfect for people watching while we had breakfast, lunch or dinner on the roomy balcony, or taking a nice walk along 5th... lots of sound and activity!... Dealing with the property owner (Ross) and the property manager (Trevor) was a pleasure... they responded to our few requests and inquiries in a timely, and satisfactory, fashion. We enjoyed it so much, we booked for next year, for a longer period.

Good place, good location. Steps away from the beach and 5th street. Only a couple of issues we had with the property. Water pressure/ flow in the master bedroom shower was very disappointing. It was hard to take showers. The lights in the balcony didn't work. Never met the property manager. We had a great time in playa del carmen though
