Cannot recommend this place more!
Stayed for week with family of 6. Wish I could give 6 stars. Condos were very clean and well guarded 24 hours, always felt safe. Pool was fantastic, and they did a good job making sure everyone would get a chair by pool if they wanted. Location could not have been better. 2 min walk to 5th Ave, but far enough off that sound was never an issue. Could barely hear clubs at night if you were sitting on your patio, but inside was fine. Under 5 mins and you were on 5th Ave with shopping, restaurants, 10 min walk to Cozumel ferry, and 5-7 min walk to either Walmart or Mercado for shopping. Check was smooth and easy, and placed had a cleaning crew every other day. Management was super fast in responding to issues, and we are absolutely looking at coming here again. One of the best vacations we have ever had.

Wonderful condo!
This property was perfect for our group of three couples with three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and large living area. It was close to Fifth Avenue, restaurants, bars and convenience stores. The view from the large balcony was amazing! El Faro is a beautiful complex with very courteous staff. Loved it!

Beautiful condo in a great area
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at El Faro. The staff was very pleasant and Benjamin was very helpful. On our first day the AC leaked water when we turned it on and within 10 minutes, we had someone that came to fix it. The view of the pool and ocean were absolutely gorgeous. The location was perfect, near the ADO, quinta and everything we enjoyed doing. We met some permanent residents during our stay there who were also very friendly, Dennis and Mickey. They have great recommendations for food if you run into them. The beds were comfortable and showers were great. There were 6 of us and we all comfortably shared rooms. We did have trouble getting fresh towels, but I believe that was by the hotel staff itself and not the condo. I liked that we received bracelets for the pool. It avoided having strangers or overpopulation of the pool. There was also consistent security which made us feel safe. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend staying here. We will definitely be back!

Ideal location
Very clean. Cold AC. Hot water. Fresh bottled water. Ideal location for in town restaurants and night life… quiet despite the load club science nearby. Lots of space. Security guards on site all hours. Access control. Felt safe entire time. Will stay here again. Highly recommend if you want to walk around the town to shop or go to restaurants of all types - high end to local… FYI - smell from seaweed on beach is present in the town regardless of property. This place cleans it up daily.

Great view, convenient location
Walkable to everything! Property is just as listed. Close to hundreds of shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the ferry to Cozumel. Music from the beach clubs can go late into the night, but you can't hear it from inside the condo unless you have windows open. Awesome pool with nice area for kids off to the side. Beach is very small, and currently covered in seaweed in the mornings, but they work so hard to clean it each day between 7-10am. Very clean property with very few maintenance issues. The air conditioning was a little lacking in the master bedroom, but I'm sure it's a quick fix. Definitely would come back!!!

Perfect location in Playa Del Carmen
March 2023 The location of this property is perfect. So close to any restaurant you could want. There is a convenient store connected to the building which is so convenient. There is a Walmart 5 blocks away you can walk to. There are taxies waiting outside the Walmart incase you don't want to carry your groceries home. There is a taxi station that is very reasonable and friendly 200 feet up the street from the building making transportation to anywhere super easy. The property is very clean and secure. The property was very quiet at night despite being so close to all the action. A few things to know. The beach in front of El Faro is nice with soft white sand but not expansive. So if you want room to play sports and that kind of things you will have to walk down the beach quite a a bit to find a location wide enough. Also keep in mind that they do get quite a lot of seaweed in this area so depending on the time of year you may be dealing with that. I will say that they did try hard to keep the beach clean of seaweed despite the difficult conditions and we were still able to enjoy some time on the beach. We stayed in Coral 303 and the condo is quite large. The property manager is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Cleaning is every other day, which I like, and they do provide drinking water. The coaches, mattresses and pillows I'm sad to say are showing their age and are overdue for an upgrade to live up to the Five Star Property name.

Just ok
Hate to focus on the negative while in such a beautiful place as playa but had a couple issues we hoped would’ve been resolved quickly that weren’t. The people at the front desk weren’t the most hospitable either. We had a hard time getting our A/C and fans to work - Our toilet broke while there- the dryer didn’t work - we asked for washcloths several times that were supposed to be provided that weren’t - took forever to give them to us. I will definitely be back to Playa but won’t stay in this unit. Overall it was just “ ok “ since we weren’t indoors for the majority of the day .

This is a beautiful unit with stunning views of the pool and ocean. Bed was comfortable pillows were horrible. Air conditioning worked great. There were a few maintenance issues that we photoed and sent to property managers, who were very responsive. We were supposed to have maid service every other day, did the very minimum. Didn’t empty garage or change towels, made some beds and not others. Overall a great property with lots of room and excellent property management.

Absolutely beautiful condo
Place is massive with large view of the ocean and the rest of El Faro properties. Would recommend to any of my family and friends. Only oddity is we never knew there was a housekeeping service once a week and we weren’t informed of when that was. They did a very rushed “clean” and may have been better if they didn’t stop by at all (they put wet used towels on our dry clean clothes, didn’t sweep, used a dirty rag on clean counters and took the recycling but not the garbage). No fault to this beautiful condo, but that was our only minor complaint!

This was property was so beautiful. The host was fantastic and the place was very large. The beds were very comfortable and we are not used to having extra toilet paper, trash bags, etc in the places we rent so this was fantastic. Restaurants, stores and night clubs were all within walking distance. The staff was always very friendly and the grounds were beautiful. The view was amazing! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot for a getaway
We cannot say enough about this property! It was a perfect fit for our family of four. The condo exceeded our expectations in every way - from the condo itself and the pool/beach, to its proximity to multiple restaurants, shops and the ferry to Cozumel. We spent a lot of time at Inti, Zenzi and Parrillo restaurants. We rented a car with ease and drove to Tulum/Xel-ha. We also spent a day driving around Cozumel. Our favorite day was spent at Xplor. The beach has tons of activities, including parasailing, a banana boat, jet skis, snorkeling, fishing… Our kids loved everything about this place as well, which is high praise. Muchas gracias for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to return some day soon.

Magnificent views and great location
We stayed in Coral 303 and the view from the condo are breathtaking. It is centrally located near everything including restaurants, Starbucks and discotheques but is quiet and safe. The apartment was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The housekeeping services were not great. We always found our used, wet discarded towels from the floor folded and hung up again for use. They left the floors more dirty after their visit. The management was very available and helpful. I highly recommend this condo and will definitely stay here again.
