El apartamento es amplio y cómodo. La piscina y playa son bonitas. Está en buenas condiciones. NO HAY INTERNET y no se molestaron en resolverlo. Hay gotera en el lavamanos, hay música toda la noche de los bares, cuesta mucho abrir la puerta del balcón, se ve desde afuera hacia el apartamento y NO hay parqueo. Cobran aparte $15 por noche.

Do not stay here

Place was in very bad shape. When we got there, the toilet wasn’t working, the paint in the kitchen cabinets was peeling off and the door knob for the main door kept locking us in because it didn’t work half the time. There were also ants in the living room. Worst experience yet. Do not stay here.

It was a good stay, but in front there is a restaurant that sometimes has loud music. Consider it

Good, great and not so good

207S is on the street side with an ocean view. The open air night club restaurant across the street has great food and service but plays SUPER loud music EVERY night, so it was impossible to fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves lapping on the shore, which is a shame because they are literally a few feet away from the condo balcony. The good part is that the view is fabulous, the location is great for tourist activities, it felt very safe, I was able to enjoy the ocean peacefully every morning and during the daylight hours from my balcony when I stayed home. No dishwasher in this unit, cabinets doors on one side of the kitchen where mostly defaced- that does not show in the pictures so that was weird, but they functioned fine. Only one of the AC units worked. The big problem for me was that VACASA requires that you email photo ID and they do not offer any type of secure upload for this. I asked for a secure upload link which they never provided but instead told me to send a photograph of my picture id or passport to private email address! They threatened to cancel my reservation if I did not do it, so I had to comply- they had my credit card number and would have charged me a huge cancelation fee. This policy is very risky for patrons who are particular about online security so beware. The pool was great but the deck going to the beach was in disrepair and roped off.

We all booked condos and had a blast. Great location, great security and outstanding views. The pool area was clean and very relaxing. Everyone at the facility was very helpful and polite. I would most definitely recommend this place to all my friends looking for a great experience. Thanks to all the staff for a great vacation.

Don't rent this property. It's very rundown, no cleaning service, it's located next to a bar with live bands, and getting to sleep before 2am is impossible. No patio furniture.

Beautiful view at a great location

We absolutely love the proximity to the ocean, view of the beach from the balcony, and the relaxation of the condominium itself. It was very well kept and private. There is a lot of nightlife in and around this condo so as long as that activity and some of the residual noise doesn’t bother you that it is a perfect place to stay.

Beacon Surf #207

Nice size unit and clean. There was a weird smell for the first couple days but it worked it way out. The cabinet doors are in pretty bad shape from the salty air but everything is in working order. This unit is on the street side of the complex though. I did not realize that when booking, totally my fault. Balcony is small and noisy at night being right over top of Zenzi’s. The pool area need a lot more chairs! I heard they have plenty but are keeping some in storage due to Covid restrictions. If you need anything see Josie at reception! She is the BEST!!!! Going back in March 2022 but trying a different unit. Love the location!!! sargassum destroyed any hopes of being on the beach this time. Also nobody seems to ever mention the stench rolling off that stuff!!!!

Nice view

Great view, spacious and on the beach. The pool was great and the gym was better than I expected. Good location 1 1/2 blocks from fifth avenue and 6 blocks from the ferry. The night club across the street was loud until midnight and locals congregated outside our window and partied until 7;00 AM. The property manager refused to be involved when our electricity stopped working. We had to call company that brokered the rental. Unacceptable. It’s too bad because it is a nice unit with two baths but I would not recommend it to others

Fun stay!

There could have been a few more small amenities like a couple days worth of coffee, extra toilet paper etc. but overall it was quite nice When we got tired of walking the streets and shopping it was great to have Netflix!

A beautiful trip, a place from where you can go out to meet many others, with a wonderful culture!

The location is excellent, it is very close to everything, four blocks from Walt Mart, one block from the pedestrian street, in front and by the beach there is a very nice bar-restaurant where you can eat well and have drinks, accompanied by live shows with very good music.

We were displaced due to hurricane Delta. Luckily surf 207 was available on very short notice. Alberto Ramirez with Vancasa was very responsive and helpful. This is the 7th time we have stayed at El Faro, and we were again thrilled with it. The condo was beautiful, the pool is gorgeous, the location is second to none and the view is magnificent!

Oceanfront Corner Condo with lovely view in a clean quite building, great kitchen and dining area, big screen smart tvs, fast wifi, comfortable bed, great shower with plenty of hot water! The only noise is from the street and fun beach club nearby, Playa is vibrant and alive and we expect the sounds of Mexico. Our host Alberto, Pool staff, Security and Front Desk staff are all super helpful and professional. We WILL be back!

Great location and property

My husband and I spent 7 nights at El Faro - Beacon Surf 207. Pros: Great location on the beach. Close to shopping, bars, restaurants, bus stop, ferry to Cozumel, etc. Large pool with lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas. Nice beach with lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas. Attentive security Large one bedroom condo with 2 full bathrooms, huge bed, ocean view balcony, 2 tv's, plenty of seating, glassware, dishes, pots/pans, ice trays, 5 gallon water jug, shampoo, body wash, etc. Portable bag chairs (although they are VERY rusty). Cons: No dispenser for the 5 gallon water jug. No patio furniture. Loud due to the bar, Zenzi, directly across the street from this unit (this really did not bother us, however, it is very loud with live music from 6 pm - midnight every night).
