My mother and I had a fantastic time at Karin’s property. I have been to Playa del Carmen for 20 years, but only recently started renting apartments. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. Everything was very clean. The building staff is excellent and helpful. Karin and her assistant in Playa were responsive. I would definitely return again.
Pluses: large master bedroom, two nice bathrooms (one en-suite), large living room/dining area, kitchen/terrace. Beach chairs available. Lots of dishes, pots, and pans if you wish to cook (we didn’t cook). Beautiful infinity pool on the roof for adults-only. Perfect location. Quiet and safe. Close to everything.
My suggestions rather than cons for the owner: simple instruction sheet for amenities, terrace door lock not easy to close, some items left for guests (small garbage bags and a few cleaning items, maybe half a bottle of water on the water machine), electric tea kettle since I couldn’t seem to get hot water out of the water machine.
The building: roof top needs more umbrellas for shade. Huge space and only 3 umbrellas. The chair cushions need to be removed when it rains or changed to prevent mold. Outside of Karin’s apartment there is no automatic hallway light and it is very difficult to see when you return to the apartment (dark corner). I had to ask the building to fix the hallway light which only went on in the evening.
Thank you Karin for our lovely time!
