The beach at Playacar may well be one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Mexico with its turquoise colors and white coral sand which does not get hot however it does change with the seasons according to the wind and wave action.

Wonderful House! Great place to stay!

My family and their significant others spent Christmas 2023 at the the Villa and the house is spectacular. We found the Villa to be fully stocked for us to have a great experience. There was plenty of room for our party of eight with plenty of privacy available. The house was abundantly supplied with towels, beach chairs and pool toys. There is a new deck out back which was a great place to take our meals or relax. As noted in another review, the 4th bedroom is attached to the master bedroom but had a private entry, not a big deal for us. The house in a gated community and concerns for our safety never entered our thoughts. We had one small problem with the toilet (plastic latch inside)-resolved same day. There is an option to hire a masseuse and/or a cook. Masseuse was great, the cook was good. Would hire both again. The beach is only a short 5 minute walk from the property. Know that English is not great for the property manager and non existent for the housekeeper. We were glad we had a guest with some Spanish. We had wished that there was a more complete showing of the house when we arrived. Town is a good 10-15 minute walk away and cabs are $15 to go most places. Be careful in Playa as there are plenty of people who will say anything to take your money. The house is terrific, communication with Viktor was exceptional. Great for beach days! Great for hanging out. Our expectations with the house were more than met.

Great time in Playacar!

There were 5 adults in our party. The home was exactly as listed and Carmen was great as our hostess. The location is about a mile plus to the main area for restaurants and shopping. There is a small mall inside Playacar, but only a few places there. Prepare in advance with snacks and drinks in case of a rainy day. The pool is very nice, although it got pretty dirty on our last day, they did come and clean it. There is mostly shade around it, so if you are looking to lay out you have to go to the beach. The fourth bedroom is really only usable for a family as you either have to walk up avery steep round outdoor staircase or go through the primary bedroom to get to it. There is a rooftop area, but not fitted out with furniture (also at the top of the outdoor round staircase). The floor level outdo space is very comfortable and nice on the rainy day we had. Overall great experience and exactly as advertised.

Overall great weekend with a couple hiccups

We booked this location to celebrate my 40th birthday and we definitely fell in love with the location. It is a beautiful home with a pool right outside the back door and a beach just a 5 minute walk away. Downtown is certainly walking distance if you don't mind sweating but it was an easy and beautiful walk. The ability to schedule in home massages and a personal chef was a cherry on top of a fantastic birthday weekend. However, we were disappointed with a couple situations throughout the long weekend. It is not in the description regarding the 4th bedroom. The 4th bedroom - or the "secret room" is connected to the master suite and you need to walk through the suite in order to get to the 4th room. This did not provide a feeling of privacy at all as a married couple. We were disappointed it wasn't indicated in the house description. We also had a very difficult time getting a hold of the property manager. We texted and called a couple times with questions and no zero response. We also did not have any housekeeping services. We didn't care about the beds at all but we were concerned about the garbage. With 7 adults and when you're not allowed to flush toilet paper, the garbage bags filled up. We asked where to empty them or if someone was going to change the bags with no response. Other than those situations, overall the weekend was amazing and the house was just stunning.

Hidden oasis!

If you are looking for a place that is near all the attractions but still has that hidden oasis feel, this is the place! The beach is a short 5 minute walk, where you can do anything from parasailing, snorkeling, riding jet skis, fishing to lounging on the beach (just walk out there and someone will help you set it up). The backyard is secluded and makes the pool very enjoyable. Carmen (the property manager) is an absolute gem! Our daughter celebrated her birthday while we were visiting and she brought her beautiful flowers and treats to celebrate, such a sweetheart! Recommendations: Bug spray - if you have it on you don't get bothered. Renting a car - if you don't mind driving in Mexico it is helpful to get around (and the AC is a blessing!) Hiring a cook to come to the house - (Mary Carmen was awesome!) Cirque de soleil Joya - if you have a chance to go, it is a MUST! Do the VIP package - the meal is phenomenal! Cook in Playa - go visit the local market & learn how to make authentic food with Alma and and her sweet aunt!

Perfect house for family vacation

Having the pool and beach so close was great. Loved having the bikes, our whole crew(6) rode to gate, locked up to a tree then walked to 5th avenue. We rode bikes to small market to get small items. We didn’t go but, Starbucks is 5-10 min ride from house. On right hand side, go out gate to left. All of this besides 5th ave is in a gated community, very nice and safe. My favorite thing about house is back patio, large table to play games and eat meals. Master bedroom is so large and amazing, huge jacuzzi tub and separate showering area. The AC was probably best I’ve ever felt. Especially having it off and back on after being gone all day on excursions. If want to contact me, feel free. Also Rasa(house manager), Carmen (maid/food preparation) and Efren (airport shuttle/excursion business) we’re all great.

Great house in Playacar gated community

Stayed at El Pedregal for a week with my wife and 2 friends of ours. Communication with the owner (Viktor) was great. He replied quickly to every question I had. As the vacation date got closer he passed me off to the house manager (Carmen) who was also great and very easy to deal with through WhatsApp. House is spacious and clean. Master bedroom is gigantic. Outdoor ‘shower room’ off the master bedroom is a great feature. Back deck is shaded most of the day and half of it is under a palapa as well. AC works well is all rooms of the house. Houses and resorts are very close to each other in Playacar, so be prepared for that….but everyone we met (neighbors and such) were very nice. No need to rent a car as you can walk to pretty much everything you need on a daily basis, and if you want to go on any excursions, Viktor or Carmen can set you up with a driver. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful property!!

We had the best time staying at El Pedregal! Viktor was so helpful - right from the start I had to adjust the number of guests and he responded right away and was able to accommodate us. We had 8 adults and the house was perfect! Everyone had their own space and all the rooms were beautiful. Viktor helped arrange transportation from the airport to the house - no need to rent a car. The location was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere! Including the beach that was a very short walk from the house. Carmen met us at our arrival and showed us around. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The backyard is so peaceful and private. Carmen had guacamole and a few beers for us when we arrived - so thoughtful. She even gave us her Sam’s Club card so we could go get groceries. She arranged for Carmen dos - both were named Carmen - to come in to cook a few meals for us. She even cooked up the fish we caught during our fishing trip. Definitely use her for a few meals. Everything was delicious! And they even cooked breakfast for us the day after our arrival as a welcome gift. I can’t say enough good things about this property and everyone we worked with. Thank you Viktor, Carmen and Carmen for the most amazing vacation!

Unique house

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time at the house. We spent most of our time on the deck, feels like you are in the jungle! Enjoyed the pool area and tennis courts, right behind the house. Easy walk to the beach. The beds were comfortable, water downstairs not always hot, but loved having 4 baths. Carmen, the manager, was fantastic. Got us a tire pump for the bikes, a propane tank when needed, etc. We loved biking into town, but the walk is easy too.

A perfect place to stay with the best people to deal with especially Carmen who is right next door.

Very clear throughout the home with beds I would like to take home. First day breakfast was cooked for us wonderful. By bike 5 minutes to the action. Security is way above what we expected . Neighborhood is properly the best in the area with a unbelievable golf course. We intend to stay again once we return if available.

Amazing Home. Perfect location.

I’ll start by saying the management of this property could not be any better! Carmen is a Saint and helpful in every way. She gave us a tour of the area, arranged a chef to come in and prepare a couple different meals. She’s right next door and happily replied to the 100+ questions I had. The location of this property is unbeatable. Whether you’re there with friends, family, kids... There is something for everyone. Very safe gated community. Every house was stunning and beautifully landscaped. The backyard area of this house was like a botanical garden. Pool was amazing, pathway to beach was wonderful. I loved listening to all the birds and seeing the Agouti (like a big Guinea Pig) All the outdoor space was perfect for a large group. We never felt on top of each other. Downtown Playa Del Carmen was a short bike ride or walk from the house. There is also a designated bike path all through town which is great. Police patrolled the town. I never felt unsafe. Playa downtown is super clean!!! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Within the gated neighborhood there is a Parrot sanctuary, many restaurants, coffee shops, stores, places to get a massage... For groceries there is a Walmart within a 5 min drive which was convenient. Another great thing during this covid time is there is a clinic just down the road within the neighborhood. They offered testing for everyone before flying out. It was quick and much cheaper than anywhere I found ($60). All together amazing place. I’ll definitely be back!

This house is a beautiful house, is near all activities you can walk to the 5th ave, and Victor am Carmen they are very nice person. The day we arrive to Olaya del Carmen we couldn’t find the place and I send a text to Victor and he call us right away and give us directions very nice person. Carmen was waiting for us already in the house,very nice person too, she was making sure that everything was good and also she give us some recommendation for a taxi guy, which one it was very good too.

AMAZING one week stay for our 8-person family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! PERFECT!! Unique!!!

This older house is unique and amazing. All of the windows are stained glass, and the master bedroom is especially magnificent! The shower alone--which is the size of a small room--is private, but makes you feel like you're outdoors. Our family has two married children and each couple had their own room. Our two youngest children shared a room. There was plenty of space for all eight of us. The house is in a charming and unique neighborhood and is walking distance to the beach. We were there in December and the water was quite choppy, but we LOVED playing in the waves. We had one rainy day and we spent it playing games under the thatched roof on the back porch. We were happy and dry. A slightly longer walk brought us to the town where there is shopping and several restaurants. The service was excellent. Viktor helped us set up our trip and gave us wonderful advice. VERY helpful. (He suggested, for example, that we not rent a car. Good decision!) He also set up our transportation to and from the airport and to and from some excursions. Rasa met us at the house and gave us a great tour of the place, etc. The night we arrived they had a dinner waiting for us on the beautiful back patio. AND, they gave us a complimentary breakfast the next morning. Both of those meals were so nice as we hadn't had time to shop yet. We felt very well taken care of. This place really had everything we needed/wanted. Beautiful outdoor decks and spaces, indoor air conditioning and fans, fun artwork and books, a small kitchen with all of the appliances and place settings needed, a clean community pool, etc. etc. etc. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this house.

Great vacation!

We loved our stay at El Pedregal, upon arrival we were warmly greeting by the property manager Rasa, who had stocked our requested food items and showed us around the house. Upon finding out that out family included two six month old infants, the villa crew baby proofed the sharp coffee table edges and bought out playpen and highchair for our babies. The Villa is very well stocked with beach towels, umbrellas, they even have to go drink thermos (which we always carry ours with us on vacations) Yoga Mats, Sun Hats, Beach Bags to name a few.. Carmel and Marla made us delicious breakfast and dinners. We enjoyed getting massages at the Villa. The pool is ideally situated a few seconds walk behind the house, with natural tree cover which kept the patio and pool deck cool, we did not have to worry about our kids getting sunburns. The Villa is located within a gated community which we left secure in. We also had the use of bikes at the Villa, which was a fun way to get around in. We will definitely be vacationing here again. Thank you Viktor, Rasa, Carmel and Marla for taking such great care of us while we stayed with you :)

A wonderful stay for a family Christmas week

El Pedregal was such a relaxing place for our extended family - Grandma, sister's family (two adult nephews) and mine (two adult daughters). While the "kids" enjoyed" the beautiful private beach with fine, white sand that did not heat up so was always walkable and turquoise waters, the adults spent much time relaxing on the outdoor covered patio. Gilles, who provided our transfers to/from the airport could not have been more helpful, even offering use of a wheelchair for Grandma. He brought it over the day after delivering us from the airport. He also gave us very good tips on places to eat - Casa Sophia and El Fogon among them. Carmen, who helped with the housekeeping also provided a delicious Christmas Eve meal for us - a traditional pork and salad dinner. She was very kind to all. Rasa, the caretaker, helped organize massages for my daughters and me in the comfort of the home. She also checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. We all loved Playa del Carmen - walking into town and snorkeling on an undeveloped beach where we saw a juvenile sea turtle and two sting rays! All in all, a wonderful place to spend the holidays while it was below freezing in the States.

Second time here, and it keeps getting better!

This was our second trip to El Pedregal (Our first was in December of 16'). This time we brought my brother and his family (a total of 8 guests in the house). Once again, Viktor's home provided a perfect place to enjoy Play Del Carmen! It's perfectly located in between the beach and 5th street. Quiet when you need it, and close to everything else you want to do. There was plenty of room, everyone was able to get ready without any problems (5 women and 3 men), and we all loved to enjoy the deck at the end of each day. Leo has again provided perfect service for managing the home. Gilles took us on two more tours, that were simply amazing (Tulum, snorkeling, and Dos Ojos Cenote)!! His attention to detail, knowledge of all things to do and see, and personality are unsurpassed. We cannot say enough good things about El Pedregal, and all it has to offer. We are making this trip as often as we can. Thank you Viktor again, for all that you have provided. BJ Cox

Pure Paradise

Our family just spent the best vacation we have ever taken at El Pedregal! From the moment we made our reservation Viktor was extremely attentive and responsive to our questions and needs. And that attention was carried over when we arrived in Cancun and were met at the airport by Gilles who greeted us with snacks and cold drinks for the drive to El Pedregal! We were greeted at the house by Leo and Rasa who couldn't have been more welcoming. The house and everyone who was involved in our stay far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. El Pedregal is a short 5 minute walk to an amazing beach and a 15 minute walk to the best part of town for shopping and restaurants. The pool is literally steps away from the back patio in a lush jungle setting. The Yucatán Peninsula is full of things to do and we went on an excursion with Gilles to see Mayan ruins and zip line across and then swim in some of the local cenotes followed by a traditional Mayan lunch! We would highly recommend him for his knowledge of the area and for his private tours where you get one on one attention rather than being lost in the masses. Carmen made a wonderful breakfast for our family of six and did such a great job looking after the house. We can't say enough about our experience with Viktor and all of the El Pedregal family to make this truly a vacation of a lifetime! Thank you Viktor, Leo, Rasa, Gilles, and Carmen!

Gilles met us at the airport and took us to Tulum, very informative and friendly. Viktor checked on us during our stay, every need we had was covered plus. Our favorite restaurants were Casa Sophia's and Los Rancheros by the ferry. I would recommend this home to everyone.

Well appointed and spacious home oozing with traditional Mayan decor

I searched for many weeks for a property that would suit our 3 generation family group. Pedregal 'ticked all the boxes' and it offered far more than I had anticipated. Location - 15 to 20 mins walk from PDC [just about ok for us] and 3 mins to the beautiful beach. We found that being organised and doing a big shop by taxi every few days, worked best for us. We rented a couple of bikes which meant that one of us could pick up any emergency rations in between time. The House is AMAZING, exceeded our expectations. Extremely well appointed, plenty of space both inside and out. The biggest problem for me was how to allocate bedrooms, esp when one of them is the size of a small ballroom - easy, I took Viktor's advice, hubby and I took the incredible master suite to save any arguments ! Although the entire family could have fitted into the enormous spa bath, we decided the outdoor shower was much more enjoyable and more environmentally friendly. However all the rooms are beautifully decorated and have their own shower room. The deck was a great place for family outdoor living but a complete surprise to us was the great bar area downstairs - I will say no more otherwise there will be no surprises. We were pleased that the pool was a few steps away from the house, less likely for our toddling grand daughter to fall in. We hoped that our young grandsons would find playmates at the pool, a reason for choosing a shared pool rather than private, this also means the pool is bigger. Very successful as they returned home having met some great new pals. Leo does a great job managing the house and our thanks to her for being so understanding, esp on the day we arrived, she was my santo ! Amy is amazing, we have never been so well looked after, she is a happy, sunny girl, eager to please and also cooked a beautiful family dinner for us. Do chat to Gilles re any excursions, he is great fun and really works at giving you the best possible experience. We went on his Mayan village tour and another day his trusty driver Oscar, drove us to Akumel where we were lucky enough to see turtles. The highlight of the trip was the Lazy snorkeling tour when the family fished for the first time, swam with Rays and turtles and were served a delicious lunch on a deserted beach - paradise found ! Above all, there is the very special Viktor, behind the scenes but very much the maker of all things at Casa Pedregal. No query went unanswered, no request is too much trouble. A 5 Star Guy!

El Pedregal Is " Out of this world "

If you are looking for a very unique experience while vacationing in PDC you must book your accommodations here! El Pedregal is a fantastic home that will accommodate all your needs. It's in a gated community so you immediately feel very safe. We were two families, 4 parents and 2 teenagers. We were warmly greeted by Leo, the housekeeper with fresh Guacamole and beverages. She made us feel so welcome. Thank you for everything Leo! The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need and then some. They even have daily maid service. Thank you Aremys! You will find little details all over the house that will surprise you and delight you. From this house we could travel downtown in 5 mins by cab (90 Paseos) or a nice walk in about 15 mins. The beach was also a short 5 mins walk. We would beach in the morning and enjoy the comfort of the pool in the afternoon. We booked two tours with the friend of the house named Gilles. One to Chichen-Itza and the other to Muy-il! It included ruins, boating, floating down channels, and a ceviche lunch. Scrumptious! Thank you Gilles! El Pedregal is the way to go. Instead of a small hotel room, living in a big house with all the ammenities seemed a no brainer. Thank you Viktor for your kind hospitality. We loved it so much! When we landed back home, all of us said let's just turn around and go back!!! George, Rhonda, Emily, Wayne, Kim, and Sydney. PS. Favourite restaurants were Karen's and Casa La Sophia. Favourite tour Muy-il.

We would like to bring to your attention that Mexico receives all of its electricity from Canada and the USA. Mexico does not produce its own. So, we would appreciate it if you please help us by turning off the lights when you leave the house and shutting off the air conditioning units, which are brand new and very efficient. You do not need to keep these appliances running while away from the house. Once you are back in the house, the unit will cool down each room in 10 minutes. In the master bedroom you have two units. Running both of them to cool the room down works best, but you only need one if you want to sleep with the air conditioning on.
