Family Vacation Home
Property was clean and the manager was very communicative, easy check in and out. Good basic home items and consumables provided. The beach access was our only complaint, all the resorts in the area block access.

Quiet Retreat
This condo offers a spacious, quiet retreat with beautiful rooftop views and comfortable furnishings. Mariana, the concierge, was responsive and empathetic throughout our stay. While the property management company was helpful, some challenges seemed routine and could be proactively addressed. The space has great potential but would benefit from more thorough maintenance and attention to detail.

Nightmare on Elm Street
2 days before our scheduled stay in this VRBO, the owner wrote to us that the property would no longer be available to us, which we assumed was due to the severe flooding that was happening in the area. So we didn't hold that against the owner and decided to see what our options were. She offered us another property, but it was nowhere in the vicinity of where we had planned to stay, as it was right in downtown Playa Del Carmen, which was not something we really wanted but felt like we didn't have many choices. The place we ended up staying at was a complete joke. Construction workers working loudly from 7:00am until 8:30pm with no regard for anyone's privacy. The lady we were talking with on VRBO was very responsive, but pretty much blew off our complaints like it wasn't anything big. The security lady when we came into the place knew nothing about us coming, which added another 2 hours onto an already taxing process. The stairs in the place were EXTREMELY slippery with no bannister and was a bad accident waiting to happen. The bathroom had a busted toilet seat. For a vacation that was supposed to be a romantic getaway, it was about the furthest from that as it could be. No person ever came personally to check in on us, which wouldn't be a big deal normally, but after switching us to this new location, would have at least made things a little bit better. The owner was responsive to messages....that's about the only good thing I can say about our experience.
