Beautiful quiet property close to everything in Playa del Carmen. Loved the umbrella service everyday and the cool bar/restaurant on the beach next door. Had a couple of broken items in the rental but maintenance came next morning and fixed them promptly. Would stay there again

Room with a View
On an earlier stay in El Faro, we were in a different building. This condo/building offered a superior experience. The photos well represent the quality of the furnishings, kitchen appliances and bathrooms' double vanities. Not shown is the master bath houses a full-sized washer and dryer. Big bonus! The view from the balcony is lovely, while the location shields you from the nightlife/partying that nearby venues offer. The security patrol is another bonus - the property's yellow wrist bands designating El Faro guests; those without are promptly escorted away. the El Faro pools are the envy of the area, and the photos are true to life. Other reviews highlighted the wall art as porno/offensive, a viewpoint we did not share. Also negatively reviewed was the furniture coverings - coverings we appreciated as protecting the couches from our sunscreened bodies. We returned to El Faro because of the pools, security, and proximity to Playa's avenues of restaurants and shopping. Already planning our next trip!

Fantastic condo
The condo was fantastic. It was well stocked with all the appliances, bedding and linen, plus water bottles ready to go. It was clean and the location of the complex is close to everything such as shops, restaurants, transportation, diving and the beach is steps away. The staff of El Faro is amazing and work so hard to make guests comfortable. It’s always appreciated when owners of these condos rent them out so we can enjoy a vacation.

Pictures are misleading
First of all - the good! Great location!!! Property managers were prompt when called about fixing issues. The balcony was nice and views were as depicted. The bad - the couches had ugly brown covers on them and there was a huge strange naked lady pic on the wall. I immediately pulled up the listing to make sure I was in the right place because I would have never selected this unit based on how it looks now. Please just get new couches and maybe beach themed art - or update pics to show people what they are really getting.

Good!
We love El Faro, and have stayed there several times! This condo was fine, but not our fav! The only “issue”, was the pictures were not quite accurate. The worst was the very ugly, sloppy, brown slipcovers on what was pictured as a beautiful white couch and loveseat! They were ill-fitted and make it impossible to use the love seat! In addition, the artwork was very odd! Abstract naked lady above our bed! And the large “Some Girls, Rolling Stones” album cover, and another Rolling Stones concert poster in the bathroom, of another naked woman, just a bit awkward. None of which are pictured in the condo photos. Would have preferred a more Mexican or beach vibe! Just not our style! Last thought: we wish they would figure out the chairs at the pool situation. Every morning it is a battle of the fittest, and most aggressive, fight for pool chairs…a total morning nightmare, unfortunately! Every year we hope they will figure out a new system! All that being said El Faro is still the best place to stay in Playa! The best location and pool!!!

Family vacation
Location is amazing and close to everything. Also, Playa has a lot of energy at night and this particular unit is angled great so the noise was minimal. We always pack white noise machines wherever we go and it was perfect. Five Star was very responsive prior to the trip and answered all of our questions. The oven didn’t work and we didn’t realize until Christmas Eve. I texted and never got a response which was very reasonable due to the holiday. Upon trying again after I didn’t realize there was an email I should have used. Never was repaired but I used the grill instead and it was fine. Housekeeping was amazing and did a great job.

This was the perfect place! right on the beach, view is spectacular! The condo was clean and just the right size for me and my husband, plus a few more if we had some friends. eclectic art, awesome balcony where we spent the majority of the time relaxing and enjoying the view of the sea. Great infinity pool, shallow end for kids as well. Get a massage by the pool, worth it!! I liked that security is at the pool/beach area to make sure its only guests. We will definitely be back & stay @ Reef 203!!

Great place to stay with your family!
Everything was great! The apartment is well equipped for a family of 4-5 to stay without any space issues. It is near stores and restaurants (Calle 5). Walmart is a short 10-15min walk up the street. We did not have any problems with noise from the nearby restaurants, clubs and people passing by. Unfortunately most of the days the beach right in front of the complex had a lot of seaweed. The pool is huge and great! The air conditioning worked great. The apartment had 2 big jugs of water. The shower is amazing. Washer and drier worked great too. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would ONLY ask the manager to replace the art work that may not be appropriate for children. Thanks a lot!

The property is as described and you can just walk to the local shops, restaurants and the beach. There’s only two things I will like to point out, they have the slowest Wi-fi ever and I wish they would of say at front you have to pay for parking. The description does not mention you have to pay around 15 U.S. dollars per day, I got the notice right before my check in, too late to look for another option. Overall the condo and the area are great!

Great location
Overall, we absolutely loved this place! Perfect location on the beach and close to tons of shopping and restaurants. We loved the pool and grounds and the patio/view. We had a few issues (mostly the lack of some basic condo supplies), all of which we brought to the attention of the property manager. Most were resolved but a few were ignored. When we first walked in to the condo with the bellman, there was a thick sanitizing fog throughout the condo that burned our eyes and throats. It took about 6 hours of leaving all windows and doors open, and the fans on, before the air was mostly cleared. The clothes dryer was very noisy and took two hours to dry one load, and left the load smelling like rotting seaweed. Speaking of seaweed, our beach was unswimmable due to the huge amount of seaweed. However, further down the beach to the right was better. Again, the condo and location and views were absolutely fantastic, and we'll definitely plan to stay again.

Great Family Vacation
Great place to stay for proximity to everything in downtown , while also staying away from the noise. Right on the edge of everything you need - shopping, restaurants, etc. - but just far enough away to be quiet enough for a family vacation. Great ocean views. We are a family of 5, and we enjoyed the unit interior, the pool, and the grounds - and we could also get to all the restaurants and shopping in one block. The staff at the condo and at Rentals Your Way made the check-in process smooth and easy. Parking pass was provided, which was a HUGE help. Grounds are kept in perfect shape, and the pool is kept clean. Great space around the pool. Security constantly monitoring the grounds but never intrusive - always helpful. Our unit had a great view of the ocean and overlooking the pool. The unit was clean and in good shape. Anything we needed or requested (minor issues typical for any traveler) were answered quickly by El Faro staff, Rentals Your Way staff, or Caribbean Beach Properties - Roger with CBP, Karina with El Faro, and Noemi with RYW in particular were very helpful. One travel note - PLEASE research the sargassum / seaweed phenomenon, and the seasonal effects, to time your trip. It's a natural thing and has NOTHING to do with El Faro, but do your research to maximize your beach fun. HIGHLY recommend El Faro for a vacation stay.
