Listing not accurate
We had a hard time getting access to the room..the code we were given was incorrect. There was broken furniture ex the floor lap and living room blinds, and the ceiling fan never turned on. The ac in the living room would not get cold despite turning it down to its lowest setting.. some photos on this listing are also not of the same unit so beware.. the staff here is really friendly and helpful.

Great stay
Great location, close to the action, pool, beach and staff were also great. Dedicated wifi worked perfectly for zoom and streaming. As mentioned in listing/reviews the AC unit in the living area doesn't seem to work but the bedroom AC units were enough to keep the whole place cool.

Amazing place for vacation in PDC
We rented the condo at Residencias El Faro because of its location, we never imagined all the great things that came along with it. First of all is its people, from the receptionists to the gardeners, the helpers around the pool, the security guys around the propriety, the massage ladies by the pool etc etc etc. The property is immaculate, the landscapers keep every little plant beautiful, the hallways, elevators, common areas are kept squeaky clean. Then it was the condo itself, just as it is advertised, spacious, clean, well furnished and quiet. I’ve read reviews complaining about the loud music coming from the clubs nearby, not an issue at 305 Surf, we slept very well. Alberto our property manager was attentive and quick to answer any questions we had. The location of El Faro can’t be beat, everything you will need is a short walk away, restaurants, bars, cafés, beach, Parque de los Fundadores, Ultramar Ferry, etc etc. even Covid test facilities. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy 305 Surf at Residencias El Faro. It was an amazing week. We will come back and will recommend it to our friends and family for their vacations in Playa!

Overall great
The place is great, the location couldn’t be better and the pool is super nice. We couldn’t enjoy the beach because of the seaweed but we were expecting it. A couple of things that would’ve been nice to have are a mop, mor forks, medium-sized liners for the bins. Overall we had a very nice stay.

Great location in playa. The condo is wonderful and we will certainly come back. I am not a fan of Vacasa and the fact that there was no maid service or garbage removal or changing of sheets and towels.

Great property but poorly managed
The listing is great based on its location and upkeep. It's closer to the fifth Avenue and overlooks the beach. It was clean, provided the amenities and very easy to locate. However I had a hard time in coordinating with the property manager for getting the parking and early check-in on the site. The property manager went on a leave without leaving any other contact to correspond with. Overall I would love to go back here but would need timely / appropriate responses from the property manager

Great location
The location of this condo is amazing! Two blocks from fifth avenue and only steps from a beautiful white sandy beach. The property manager was great! We arrived ahead of schedule and he got us into the room early. The room was clean and very nice. The rubber stopper for the kitchen sink and the bathtub would not hold water, but we were able to work around it. The condo is advertised as having laundry, and it does...but the laundry is shared and coin operated. This time of year it is very humid and drying towels is near impossible. I messaged to see about getting new towels and was told I needed to wash the ones I had. That is OK, but I really didn't want to spend an hour and a half of my vacation washing and drying towels. All in all, it was very nice.
