- The central location of this property gives you access to the best that downtown Playa del Carmen has to offer. Due to our location next to restaurants and bars, you may experience some noise at this location. We do not offer refunds for noise issues.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Faro. Checking was easy and management was communicative. The location couldn’t be any better and you have easy access to absolutely everything. We loved how cold the AC was during a very hot time in playa Del Carmen.
The one thing they could improve on is the mattresses on both beds as they are very firm, and a little hard which made the extended stay a little difficult to sleep well. Now in our 40’s, we all were a little sore from the bed by the second day.
Other than that we have no complaints and absolutely loved our stay, and will return again.
The condo was clean and had beautiful views of the pool and water. We enjoyed the rooftop plunge pool in the evenings as well. It is right in the middle of all activities making it easy to walk everywhere which we prefer. It’s a very busy and crowded area and as described, the music goes until 3-4 am. You must be ok with this or else sleep can be difficult. The pool is lovely but reserve your chairs early. There is no private beach near or around this condo. In our option, the surrounding beaches were not useable due to crowds and people selling things.
I was a little apprehensive about booking a VRBO in a foreign country due to negative experiences expressed in social media. My apprehension was not valid when it came to this property. The location is prime, we were in the middle of the action. We felt safe walking around at different times of day and night. The property has a large pool and is beachfront. Beach is public but there is security around and they ensure that only guests enter pool area and the complex.
Condo had everything we needed except for a couple of items (salt and bath mats) but we made it work. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. We would definitely stay in the property again. Saving up for my next visit to PDC.
Another amazing vacation for our family. We enjoyed our stay in Reef 204. Great location, everything is very close to this place. Amazing condominiums, very nice pool and beautiful beach! Our condo was in the second floor with a great view to the pool and the beach. The unit is a great size for our family of 4. Both rooms have their AC units and theain room as well. Comfy beds, plenty of pillows, towels, beach towels. All 3 smart TV's working..Kitchen has an electric stove, dishwasher, fridge, the main microwave is not working but they have a spare. Blender, toaster and small coffee maker. Plenty dishes and cups. Walmart grocery store is in walking distance... everything is in walking distance! BTW, PDC don't do UBER. Overall, we had a great time, enjoyed the stay, the unit has everything you need. Shout out to the front desk team and the rest of their personnel they are awesome. Definitely we would like to come back!
The location was perfect...on the beach and only 2 blocks to 5th ave. The actual view was even better than the pictures. The beach bar next door was the start of every evening for us. We plan to stay there again.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience staying at this property. Communication before arrival was excellent and the check-in process was a breeze. The property itself is in a great location and the condo was very clean and well-maintained. I would highly recommend and would be happy to book again for any future visits to PDC!

The property was clean, comfortable - excellent!
We had an excellent stay. Unit was very nice! Pool was awesome. Great location near 5th Ave and 10th. Very central. Good customer service on site. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!
The location of the building is fantastic. Half a block to 5th avenue where all the restaurants and shops are located. There are security guards at the entrance to the building as well as around the grounds and at the beach - so you always feel safe. The condo has everything you need along with a spectacular view to watch the sunrise each day. Great pool...we are looking forward to returning.

Cleaning
The place is wonderful and we enjoyed it to the fullest. The condo meets everything. It's just that the cleaning is not very good.
El Faro Residences is located so close to 5th Ave and other beach bars & restaurants. We were in the heart of everything & could walk everywhere. Our unit was exactly as described. There was a race each morning to get a pool chair, however we always seemed to find what we needed. I would recommend El Faro as a safe & well appointed place to stay in Playa del Carmen.
Very nice, clean, and comfortable property on the beach! My family and I enjoyed our time here. The layout of the apartment was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but still very nice. Beware of street vendors who see you are wearing the El Faro yellow bracelet. They will try to tell you they met you there at the reception desk. Maybe El Faro will get rid of the bracelets like some of the all-inclusive resorts are doing in the future. Otherwise I definitely recommend this place!
