About this property

Mayan Magic El Faro Beach Front - DISCT RATES TEMPORARILY INCLUDES CHRISTMAS

Our condo is our second home and we have made it very comfortable and inviting for our guests to enjoy like we do when we come. El Faro means Lighthouse and this lighthouse has been a landmark in Playa del Carmen for many years. Residences El Faro Condominiums has incorporated the lighthouse on the property.

Our BEACH FRONT condo is only 35 steps to the beach and 170 steps to the FAMOUS 5th AVENUE which is full of exciting restaurants and shops.

The beach you see from our condo offers swimming, wind-surfing, paddle board, kayaking, parasailing, scuba diving, free diving, jet-skiing, and most important a relaxing day on the beach.

Our Condo has a fully equipped modern kitchen including a George Foreman multi purpose grill, or we have a Weber Gas grill on the balcony.

We have tried to incorporate the wonderful Mayan Culture in our wall painting in the living area in hopes you feel the real sense of Mexico.

There are many activities close by including Jungle tours with zip-lines, water/activity parks, Mayan ruins, cenote diving and much more. Come join us for a great vacation.

Incredible place
Like everyone else states, the unit is gorgeous. Very well appointed and decorated. Lot’s of space. Very comfortable. Insane ocean and pool view. The pool is huge and the staff are as attentive as if you were at a resort. Security is tight. No onsite food/beverage, but there is so much within walking distance and a great beach club next door that it really wasn’t necessary. So glad I chose Terry’s condo and will definitely return. Terry helped arrange airport transportation, which worked out very well for us. We used the same company for transportation to Tulum. The only hiccup we experienced was towards the end of our trip when someone began staying in the unit upstairs. I think it’s a much bigger unit, and it sounded like a lot of people. They stayed up late (3am) both nights, and the soundproofing between floors seemed to be lacking. Other than that, the condo could not have been any better!

Best time in Playa del Carmen
My family of 8 had a fantastic time at Terry’s condominium in Playa del Carmen. This was our first time in Mexico and the location was perfect. Our group ranged from 5 years old to 75 years old, and Terry’s apartment was perfect for everyone. We were located at the heart of 5th avenue with many choices for food, tours and the best part was that we were right on the beach. The view from the place is stunning and we all enjoyed every minute of our family vacation. Terry was very informative prior to our stay, during and after. Thank you Terry for your help. We will definitely recommend your place to anyone visiting Playa del Carmen and we will be back soon!

Delightful!
My husband and I come here often (we are early retirees) and have found this to be the absolute perfect spot. Terry was so gracious, arranging transportation and providing so many recommendations. His condo is spotless and very well maintained, and he even had it cleaned once during our 6 night stay! It is well stocked if you want to enjoy homemade meals. The views are unmatched…you are crazy close to the ocean and are positioned for pristine sunrise views. I find it difficult to beat in terms of location, cleanliness, views, communication…you name it. We like to walk Calle Cinco and the other couple likes to enjoy quiet time on the patio with the pool and ocean view. It’s perfect for either. You can’t go wrong here!

Amazing location
We couldn't have asked for a better location. We parked the car in the garage and just walked everywhere. The condo was VERY clean and very well stocked. The pictures don't due it justice. The balcony is huge. We ate breakfast on it every day. The condo staff are very nice and helpful. Everything is a stones throw from the condo! Terry always answered our questions w/in minutes. He was very helpful and left a very detailed "note" with lots of information on restaurants, activites, grocery stores, etc. You won't be disappointed if you rent this place out!! We'll be back!!

Fantastic condo, location and recommendations!
The condo is beautiful, has excellent staff, and is very comfortable. The pool was also excellent. The proximity to the beach is unreal. Snorkeling right off the beach and walking up to the pool in 5 minutes is crazy! We also loved the town and the nearby trips. All of Terry's restaurant and excursion recommendations were on point. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL 5 stars
When we walked in to the apartment, our jaws dropped. It’s stunningly beautiful and the views are amazing. With closer inspection, the attention to detail is amazing. Beautifully decorated and small details were not overlooked. The location is perfect…right in the heart of action and next to plenty of restaurants. We loved it and plan to come back!

Great Location in Playa
We found the kitchen well stocked, loved the deck area, made use of the BBQ and took a cooler with us one day down to Tulum and Akumel, which were easy day trips. We loved watching the dive boats load up out front and thought the condo was in a great location - perfect to action but removed just enough to be nice and quiet. Complex very well kept with a lovely large pool.

Playa - El Faro
We stationed in Reef 302 and it was a perfect location. The ocean view balcony was awesome. Even though it was close to everything Playa had to offer, it was also quiet at night.(other units in ElFaro might not be so quiet). Terry set us up with transportation from the airport and then from Playa to Moon Oakace for the second part of our vacation. It was seemless!

Perfect stay!
Three of us stayed here for 10 days and it was exactly what we wanted. The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped and the AC and Wifi worked perfectly. The pool was lovely and our small stretch of beach was uncrowded. The pictures don't do justice to the view. El Faro is very close to the tourist center with shops and restaurants and there are a couple of big grocery stores about a 15 minute walk or easy taxi ride. Terry was a wonderful host, helping with airport transport and responding to emails almost immediately. The property manager and building staff were friendly and helpful. Check in was simple. We could not have asked for more!

We came for a wedding and nearly everyone was staying at the property. We found Terry's unit and was very happy with the place. Terry was so helpful with information before the trip and even with a slight problem at check in, he was communicative and solved it immediately. There were so many amenities in the unit- Beach towels, floaties, coolers, there was everything we needed! Highly recommend his unit.

Excellent Experience
Our family stayed in Terry's condo over New Years. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed, including a gas grill on the patio, which we used a few times. The beach toys on the patio for our use was an extra bonus. Our family has stayed in multiple condos in El Faro over the years and Terry's was as nice as you can get and the ocean view was outstanding. The patio furniture was also something we appreciated, which is key to enjoying that part of the condo. It has comfortable outdoor cushioned chairs and couches on the patio versus plastic chairs in other offerings we considered. Of Course the location of El Faro is unbeatable. Further, we had great communication from the owner when we needed it. We would return.

Reef 302
The day we arrived it was very hot, so upon entering I noticed how cool it was, a big plus although we spent most of our time by the pool or ocean. Kitchen was well stocked, glasses,silverware,frying pans all in good condition, we ate out mostly Comfy couches and bed, both bedrooms are a good size with lots of closet space, Both showers were very clean and good water pressure Balcony had comfortable furniture couch and tables, Nice because it was shaded most of the day you will appreciate that. Great location easy walk to Walmart and Mega foods for supply’s Also easy walk to ferry if you wish to visit Cozumel. Steps away are ZenZi on the beach for beach dining You can’t go wrong with this place the pool was beautiful and they have a masseuse on site overlooking the ocean. I highly recommend this place.
