Indoor-Outdoor Beach Suite

Request a movie to be shown in the outdoor theater. Then swim in the pool and soak in a hot tub before ordering a drink at the bar to accompany the film. Back in the apartment, open the floor-to-ceiling glass windows to access your lush terrace. Sleep with blackout curtains in your comfortable king-sized bed and duvet. Anah Playa provides you with luxury living, steps away from all that Playa Del Carmen has to offer. The unit has floor-to-ceiling glass doors, blackout shade, and sunshade curtains, with a terrace opening to the the spectacular interior courtyard. A large sectional couch can combine into almost a queen-sized bed to sleep up to two additional guests. The unit has a fully-stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. The bathroom is equipped with a rain-style shower-head, and marble furnishings. Rooftop Pool 8am-10pm 3 Jacuzzis 8am-10pm Rooftop Lounge Rooftop Bar Full Spa with all treatment options and private, outdoor showers Outdoor Theatre which plays a movie every evening (movie requests made at the front desk) Underground Parking Fitness Centre Yoga Room Business Centre Kids Club 24/7 Concierge and Security I can help with anything you may need, but if I'm out of town my agents at CARMEN SOL RENTALS will take care of guests. Located in the heart of downtown, shopping centers, markets, and grocery stores in town are all within 3-minute walking distance from the building. Stroll just 2 blocks to reach the nightlife, bars, and restaurants of action-packed 5th Avenue. Cabs are cheap especially if you speak spanish, the building is a 2 minute walk from 5th avenue, 5 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes from the entertainment district, and 1-minute from the bus station to Cancun, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras, and Tulum. Cheap car rental companies are just one street away as well. I believe in energy efficiency, and so tenants in my units pay their own electricity. The unit has two air conditioners and if they're used 24/7, this will add to costs, as Mexico employs an escalating electricity scale from 0.7-8.5 pesos/kwh. The more that is used each month, the higher the applied rate. At the start of each stay, a rental representative will show the initial meter number, and the number at the end of the stay. The difference is to be paid in cash at a rate of 4 pesos/kwh. Please conserve energy if you can. Laundry is free for guests staying a week or more, but must be activated at the front desk. Small building fee charged to short stay guests. If you want late check out, and it conflicts with the next check in, or the cleaning schedule, Carmen Sol Rentals reserves the right to charge $20 extra for the cleaning service's inconvenience. Please speak with the rental rep about this.

All about Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is having its moment in the sun – this trendy resort town on the Mayan Riviera has only grown in popularity in recent years, and it’s now one of the largest and most bustling cities in Quintana Roo state. People watch along its always-buzzing beaches and take to the water to snorkel the second largest coral reef in the world, brimming with lavender sea fans and tropical fish. On dry land, Playa del Carmen’s central location makes it a great jumping off point to explore Mayan ruins nearby like Chichen Itza.

What are the top things to do in Playa del Carmen?

Cool off in a cenote

Cenotes – mystical-seeming pockets of still water formed from collapsed caves – are a natural phenomenon unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. The waters range from sapphire blue to emerald green, and they can be located amongst Edenic gardens or cavernous, stalactite-studded tunnels. Thought by the Mayans to hold magical properties in their waters, swimming in a cenote can be an otherworldly experience.

Admire Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza needs no introduction — this UNESCO World Heritage Site is really anything but new. The wondrously preserved Mayan temple was built sometime around 750 AD, and served as the area’s most important urban center until 1200. If you make it here in time for the spring or autumn equinox, watch in awe as the sun creates a show of a serpent — a revered Mayan symbol — slithering down the pyramids.

Dance the night away

Playa del Carmen is known equally for its nightlife as it is for its beautiful scenery, so spending a night or two on the dancefloor is practically mandatory. You can make your way from club to club along the resort strip, or opt for a slightly more laid-back but no less lively evening of live music under the stars at one of many bar terraces. Regardless of where you go, you’re pretty much guaranteed a good time.
