Luxury apt, a 2-min walk from the Beach, Sea View!
We had a fantastic stay in Playa del Carmen! The apartment was in a terrific location—just a few blocks from the beach and within walking distance of great restaurants and shops. The staff was really wonderful: friendly, attentive, and incredibly responsive to the few requests we had. Their hospitality made everything feel easy and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Amazing Ocean View Steps to Beach and Restaurants
This was a beautiful apartment, just like the pictures. We generally stay in Puerto Morelos for one night upon arrival to the area but chose this in lieu of a hotel since we were staying three nights. Kitchen was modern with all appliances needed. The grocery store was nearby for basics. It’s in a great location, close to all of our favorite restaurants. The bed was comfortable and AC worked great. We didn’t use the rooftop pool, however we had cocktails up there every evening and listened to the bands at nearby La Sirena. The view from the bedroom was fantastic! Although it is a short block away from the beach, there are no buildings impeding the view so it definitely felt like beachfront. I’d say this is the best unit in the complex. For those worried about sargassum, there is currently a barrier around this area, extending north and south quite a ways and it was never a problem wherever we enjoyed the beach along that stretch. We would stay here again!

Bungalow with terrace access to Yal-kú Akumal Park
The bungalow was exactly what we were looking for. The security guards were absolutely lovely to deal with and spoke really good English. They explained everything really well so we understand we could use the Yal-ku entrance before the we checked in. Our accomodation didn't have direct water access, but we found a local way down to the rocks for some sunset beers only a few minutes walk from the villa. We went to Yal-ku twice during our stay and snorkeld for about 5 hours all up. Staying at Emma's place is a great way to access the area.

LUX condo 1min from the beach & 5 Ave -ROOF POOL-
Alizees place was perfect. It’s right by the beach, close to restaurants, taxi services, close to Quinta Avenida, a 30 min walk to the ferry. The place is huge, beautiful balcony, fully equipped kitchen, a pretty rooftop pool & such a comfortable vibe. She was so helpful, accommodating, and even shared some fun spots for us to check out, which we did and were impressed! Some things to note: - Sargassum season gives a strong scent from the balcony but, it didn’t bother us as I’m an ocean lover - On the weekend, the restaurant below plays slightly loud music but again, didn’t bother us as I love the musical aspect of Mexican culture & it stopped around midnight anyways - Takes a bit of time to get cold water because it’s hot down there but I’m used to things like this personally! - The electricity limit was a surprise to me, maybe I didn’t read it on the listing initially but we had plenty of usage and so far I was not charged for it Thanks so much. Definitely hope to return again 🤎

LUXURY CONDO Playa Del Carmen.
An excellent apartment for a couple, well located, several supermarkets nearby, close to the highway and close to the stations where they pick you up to go to the Xcaret parks. The whole stay was very good and Victor was always attentive to what was needed.

Oceanfront PentHouse at Mareazul-Casa Alba
This apartment is beautiful. The front two rooms have amazing views of the ocean and are very comfortable. We are a family of 5 and the space accommodates us beautifully. The two teenagers squealed when they saw their room with two queen beds and what felt like an additional room just for the walk in closet and bathroom space. Juliana was the most perfect host, quick to communicate and very very helpful. Access to the beach was close and easy, the pool area is HUGE and the restaurants on site made food options easy. The local shops and restaurants are a quick taxi ride, which Juliana assisted us with. There’s also a Spa onsite which was a surprise. The services are very reasonably Priced and while we went to the spa itself I do believe there is an option for them to come to the unit. One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had.

Beautiful apartment in Puerto Morelos a few steps from the sea
Mauricio was quick to respond to all needs and the location of his place was ideal. The building was well maintained and the roof-top was beautiful. I would definitely consider coming back.

Studio in the heart of Cancun's hotel area.
We had a pleasant stay

3 bedroom Villa by the beach!
The home was exactly as described and looked just like the photos—beautiful and welcoming. The only issue was an unpleasant odor coming from one of the bathrooms, which we discovered was due to the toilet brush. Once we identified the source, we placed the brush in the backyard, and the smell was no longer a problem. The home was clean, the instructions were clear, and the property itself was stunning—just steps away from the beach. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway.

MODERN-RELAXING HOME "PRIVATE POOL W/CHILDREN AREA
Gen is and Jorge were great hosts. They had set us up with Omar and his team. They took care of us. I would recommend this villa.

Coatí beach house
The location was close to town and there are restaurants in walking distance. Make sure to check out the beach and bring your snorkel gear! I wish we did this on the first day! There is a security guard at the entrance so have your reservation info and info on the home to get in. Rent a car also, it makes getting around much easier.

CASA ROJAS, Ocean Front Home in Cozumel Island
Carolina’s place was the perfect combination of having everything we wanted in a place to stay and being close to downtown Cozumel when we wanted see the sights. There was more than enough space for the two of us, from the spacious master bedroom with an amazing view, to the fully stocked kitchen and sitting area. We were outside more than in, either soaking up the sun, relaxing in the pool, or taking the ladder down fight into the ocean. We had planned to take snorkel tours during our visit, but the underwater life right in front of Casa Rojas was varied and spectacular. We had rented a car to take in all the island’s sights, but we were also able to comfortably walk into Centro Cozumel from the house. Carolina was communicative from the day we booked and throughout our stay. Needless to say, Carolina and Casa Rojas made our first visit to Cozumel everything we could have hoped for!

Ocean-View Luxury House in Tulum
We had a wonderful week at Mataray Tulum. The place is beautiful and peaceful and having the private beach made all the difference. But importantly, the staff were incredible. So accommodating and friendly, and always offering advice on where to go for dinner or excursions. There was never a tie that we didn't feel taken care of. The accommodation was amazing. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and my husband and son had great fun in the evening playing pool upstairs. The balance of having your own accommodation, but being connected to a hotel if you want food or drinks was a great combo! We will definitely come for another visit.

Spectacular beachfront and beach access
Gianella’s place was everything we wished for. The views are spectacular.. We travel here for my 44th birthday and I’ve couldn’t have asked for a better gift than to have our own paradise. The pictures don’t do its justice. Everything was excellent 10 out of 10. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

Tulum beach villa( for only two persons )
This place is heaven! I now understand why this place has a perfect review score: it truly lives up to all of the expectations set, and then some. The house is super peaceful and private-with two very helpful and friendly caretakers onsite when needed, but totally out of your way when not. We basically lived in the pool and adjacent palapa and just lounged for 5 days in this small slice of paradise. Don't expect to swim in the ocean (we got lucky and the sargassum subsided 1 afternoon) -- but its not an issue at all. The pool is amazing + there are so many cenotes and swimming spots within a 5-20 minute drive (15 mins from Xelha, highly recommend). The inside is exactly everything a couple needs - it felt like a luxury suite at a 5 star resort. Large comfy bed, nice bathroom, and decent sized kitchen and living room -- all super clean and well stocked. We grocery shopped and cooked a few meals + there are many decent restaurants within a 5-20 min walk or short drive. We will be back!

Beach Front Villa In Sian Kaan With Private Chef
The house is beautiful and just as described. Alex met us in person when we arrived and showed us around. He was responsive throughout our visit when we had questions, and prepared delicious food for the meals we had prearranged, plus a gorgeous fresh ceviche. Alex also connected us with a captain in Punta Allen for a really wonderful half-day outing with crocodile, manatee, sea turtle, and dolphin sightings plus lots of birds, fish, a little snorkeling. The road to Tulum is in better condition than we expected. The seaweed was as noted in the booking, but the nearby beach is an easy trip and beautiful. We had a great, relaxing week. Thank you!

Beautiful apartment with Ocean View
Location location and comfortable!

Beautiful Oceanfront Penthouse-Style Condo
Great place, spotless clean. I used many airbnb, in the past, this was definitely the cleanest i have ever seen. Extremely responsive host, always making sure that i have what i need. The location is in the hotel area. I personally got around just fine using the bus, $1 ride, and it stops almost in front of the condo. I will definitely come back.

Stunning Rooftop Views - Steps from the Sand
Cruz con Mar is one of our favorite places to stay in PDC. We have been in quite a few different units in the building. This one was one of the best. The ease of the door lock and the updated thermostats might be a strange complement but IYKYK. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the showers were great.

Best Location Sleeps10 @5thAve & Beach RooftopPool
We had a wonderful time at Chris’s place!! It was the perfect location for our family’s first visit to Playa del Carmen. It was close to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The home was clean, beds were comfortable and hosts were responsive. Five stars all the way!! We will definitely book Chris’s place next time we are in PDC.

Oceanfront at The Elements Penthouse "La Reina"
We loved our stay at Rachel's Beautiful Condo! As the pictures shows, her space is wonderful in so many ways! It is beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and comfortable, and she is a kind, responsive and fantastic host! We would not hesitate to stay here again. The pool at the Elements is fantastic, the food at the ocean grill is great and so convenient, there is an awesome yoga center just across the street, and the ocean views are great. We really enjoyed our stay there - 5 stars!!!

Ocean view condo at Suites Turquesa #131
Jim’s place was absolutely amazing! The snorkeling right off the ladder was incredible. The water was crystal clear and a blast to swim in. We had a great jumping off the wall into the deep clear blue water! We felt right at home as the place has EVERYTHING you need to relax, cook and enjoy a great vacation!

1st Floor Beach House, on a private beach
This place was amazing. The people where great, I loved the view. The host and there property manager were quick with phone calls and getting me where I need to go, because I got lost. We rented a car the driving there is all one ways and fast pace. I felt safe and had no worries. The place is the way it described in the photos a d there is many things to do in the area. I had a great time here. I will be back. Thank you!
