Quaint respite in Playa del Carmen

The condo for us was perfect for us, the friendliness of others staying in the same complex was especially nice, and we really enjoyed the relaxed vibe. Easy walk to two nearby beaches. No matter where you stay near 5th Avenue there are plenty of options for eating. It is a quieter vibe at this location as opposed to the ferry terminal end. Our host was very kind and easy to work with. We loved it here and hope to return which is the best recommendation we can give.

Awesome Vacation Rental

We loved our stay at this condo! From the lovely decor to a fully stocked kitchen it was our home away from home while visiting Playa Del Carmen. The grandchildren loved the pool and the beach which was within walking distance. They also loved the really good WiFi! Several good restaurants and the 5th Avenue are all nearby. Highly recommend!

You felt like you were in a tropical paradise.

Great location. Great facility. We took our 15 year old granddaughter for her spring break and she said it was one of her best trips ever. She loved lounging in the hammock and we all loved the pool plus being able to walk just around the corner and be on the beach or the center of town.

The property was perfect for our family of four. Great location that is a block to the beach and walking distance to shopping, food and much more. It was colorfully decorated with fun murals and bright tile work throughout the condo. Property manager always responded to an inquiry immediately. Will definitely be back!

Awesome stay and location! Great for families.

My family loved staying here. The location to the beach and town are very convenient. We have our favourite spots to dine out or just go for a snack! My teenager loves to shop on Fifth Avenue and my toddler is happy to stroll along or push the stroller! The pool is ideal for everyone and we love having the option to walk the beach or take shade back at the pool. Our favourite excursion is Xel-Ha - we go every year! Thanks to Cheryl for being so accommodating and helpful. Hope to be back in the summer!

AWESOME CONDO IN THE BEST LOCATION OF PLAYA !!!

We had one of the most memorable Playa vacation experience in a long time. Condo Del Arbol was very warm, charmingly beautiful, and comfortable. It suited all of our needs and exceeded our expectations. Cheryl is a wonderful hostess and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We were even greeted with a welcoming personalized note from the owner and refreshments ! Thank you Cheryl for your kind hospitality. We highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back again. Muchas Gracias

Great Condo, Great Location

We just finished a week in Playa at Natz Ti Ha and had a wonderful time. The condo is large and clean with excellent furnishings and a great Mexican feel. With two big bedrooms both with ensuites, it's great for families or 2 couples. It's a very short walk to a beautiful beach, with great snorkeling feet from the shore. Also a short walk away is 5th Ave where you have tons of restaurants and lots of shopping. The kids loved the pool, clean and lots of lounges or the Mom’s and Dad’s. The staff on the property are clearly visible and always willing to lend a hand. Absolutely no complaints, all around excellent property and fabulous time. We will be back for sure!

Good visit

As you can see by my star rating the only reason there weren't all 5 stars is because after visiting the entire condo complex I noticed that the one condo we were in had not been updated as far as the windows and doors go. This allowed many mosquitoes etc. to enter any evening we had lights on. We found a partial solution by using mosquitoe coils every night. Other than the fact both myself and my husband are mosquitoe magnets, the place was clean and extremely well supplied. You decide!

excellent condo in the heart of playa del carmen

we loved this condo. i was there with my husband and 2 children aged 16 and 13 years. it had a full kitchen, 2 very spacious bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms and i it also has a good sized patio with a table and chairs and a lovely hammock. we all enjoyed relaxing on the hammock. the pool was bigger than we expected so that was also a big plus. the best part is the condo us a 2 minute walk to the beach and another 3 minutes to town. it is in the heart of playa del carmen. there are many shops and wonderful restaurants nearby. no need for a car and easy to find a taxi when you need one. the locals are very friendly and as a french speaking Canadian who took a year of Spanish in college, it was awesome speaking spanish for the first time. i highly recommend this unit. you will not be disappointed. we were there for a full week during my children's christmas break.

Very cute and comfortable place. Owner was excellent to work with!

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. It was our first trip taking our 3 little ones out of the US. so of course we were anxious about everything but it honestly could not have gone any smoother! Via email, Cheryl provided us with information on available transportation to and from the condo from the airport, as well as detailed instructions on entering the unit and who to contact for assistance. Once we entered there was a gift basket waiting for us of fruit and cookies, as well as freshly squeezed orange juice (and a couple local beers for mom and dad which we loved). That was so thoughtful, especially since we only had a couple bags of chips from the airport and it was already late in the evening when we arrived. The place was very clean and comfortable. It looked exactly like it did in the pictures. There was more detailed information provided in the unit on things to do around town as well as restaurants to eat at. Even though there was a beach a half block away, the kids' favorite thing to do was to play in the swimming pool. You could find shade or sun whenever you wanted. And the people were so, so nice. From the locals who lived in the building to the staff who watched over the place, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Cheryl stayed in contact with us before, during and even a bit after our stay, just seeing if we had any questions or if there were any problems. There were none whatsoever. And when I let her know that our return flight home wasn't leaving until later in the evening on Saturday, she let us stay after checkout time just so we wouldn't have to carry our luggage throughout town with our three kids, as we waited for our flight home. As I said, it couldn't have gone ANY smoother. We would love to come back some time but I think the next time, we'd rather come back without the kids, just so we can try out more of the night life that we missed out on. It looks like there are quite a bit of opportunities in town to have some night time fun :) If you're looking for a nice affordable family place to stay that's walking distance to the beach and 5th avenue, make sure to give this place a shot!!!

Excellent Stay at Condo de Arbol

We had an excellent week's vacation at Condo de Arbol. Cheryl's condo is conveniently located one block from the beach and a few blocks from 5th Avenue. Close enough to shopping, restaurants, and clubs - but far enough away from all the congestion and noise. Upon our arrival, we found that Cheryl had provided a basket of fruit, and a few beers in the refrigerator. It was a nice touch and much appreciated. The condo itself was in excellent condition. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, and the shower most enjoyable. I also heard no complaints from my college-aged daughter, or her friend, regarding the twin beds (and the bathroom) in the second bedroom. The fans and air-conditioning, throughout the condo, worked nicely when needed. We usually ate breakfast in the condo every morning. Finding a pot, pan, cup, silverware, etc was not a problem. The patio was a great place to have morning coffee while listening to birds and the sound of a small waterfall below (by the pool). We only used the pool (nicely sized by the way) one time as we generally prefer the beach. The beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and boogie boards were a nice extra and definitely used every day. The wi-fi in the condo is very good and was used by the girls for completing homework assignments while on spring break. It was also used for reviewing restaurants and possible tours/excursions. It was nice to stroll down 5th avenue at night or find a different restaurant for dinner every day. The girls went out twice (two different night clubs) and said they had a great time. They never felt unsafe at any time. Cheryl stopped by one day as I wanted to say hello. She is a very nice and responsive person and really cares about her guests enjoying their stay. Prior to our visit, I sent her emails with questions, and she provided fast, detailed answers for anything I needed to know. In conclusion, I highly recommend Condo de Arbol and its location. Cheryl is an excellent host and I would have no hesitations in visiting again. Thanks again Cheryl for an excellent stay !!!

Beautiful condo and an Excellent landlord

The condo and landlord Cheryl are fist class. I liked the location of the unit in between and very close to the beach and 5th Avenue, The unit is a Mexican type of architecture along with a beautiful courtyard in the centre of the buildings. The pool area is very peaceful hidden from the public with lots of palms and greenery and water fountains and very clean water. Cheryl took care of me and I have no hesitation recommending her and this unit and would stay there again. Playa in general was quite nice.

Best time ever at Cheryl's condo

I really enjoy the proximity to the beach and 5th avenue. The condo is really great, with a nice, well kept, elegant Mexican flavour, a stunning balcony where I enjoyed meals and relaxation, sunny, and the view of the palms was my favourite. The pool is beautifully located with sun and shade and easy social gatherings. Cheryl left treats and starter things which made it easy to settle in.I'll be back for a longer time next year :) Collette

Beautiful Apartment in great complex

This is our second time staying at Condo de Arbol. The apartment is beautiful, fully equipped and in a great location. It is a short walk to 5th Avenue, but is in a quiet, peaceful part of Playa del Carmen. You get the convenience of restaurants and shops, without the late night noise. We stayed with our two young kids and the pool was perfect for them. They loved swimming and walking around the beautiful complex. The beach is steps away. Cheryl is attentive and was so helpful whenever we had questions. We will definitely be back (again and again!). This is the place to stay in Playa del Carmen.

Wonderful Treehouse Condo !

Our family of 3 teenagers and 2 adults travelled for a week to Playa Del Carmen and stayed in Cheryl and Glenn's Condo Del Arbol. Situated in a classic Mexican style building, the second floor Condo Del Arbol overlooked a courtyard full of exotic trees and plants, giving the feeling of being high in a rainforest. The interior of the condo is stylishly furnished in a traditional way and very functionally laid out with separate master and guest suites as well as very roomy family gathering areas and large patio. The apartment was well stocked with all the utensils and appliances we needed and we found not only clean linen but also fresh juice and fruits on our arrival. We appreciated the clear instructions Cheryl gave us to find and check into the condo which took all the stress out of our arrival. We found the location of the condo to be ideal, just one block from the beach and from all the shopping and dining on Calle 5. Our teenagers were able to hang out safely at the beach while my wife and I shopped and then we could gather for family dinner at a different restaurant every night ! During our stay, Cheryl and Glenn were nice enough to drop over and regale us with stories about the condo and about Playa and were impressed by how much they cared about their guests' experience. We strongly recommend this property to other travelers and we believe that our 5-star rating is deserved !

Life is not perfect

The condo was beautiful, the staff were kind, helpful and charming. Thank you to Raul, Claudio and Jorge. There were some Tropical Storm related issues that were addressed to the best of the staff's ability. The beach was not in good shape. Some of that was related to Tropical Storm Franklin, some of that to this years sea weed issues, The area around the condo was very interesting. 38th street was hopping and DeLocals restaurant on 40th and 5th was a high light with great staff, great food, and REALLY good music. Speaking of music - many nights we were treated to the throbbing base of some business on the beach. It started around 4:30 and ended very late. We were so tired from our adventures that at worst it was a minor annoyance. The condo's color scheme, furniture, and air conditioning were a delight. The water pressure in the shower was perfect. The kitchen stove needs an update. Staff and landlord were very responsive to everything and we would stay with them again but hopefully NOT during a tropical storm.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Kennard

Host profile image
We are Canadians and love everything about this part of Mexico. Playa del Carmen ,on the Riviera Maya has the perfect climate.
For years we searched the Caribbean Islands which even though we enjoyed, we found Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya with it's similar white ,sandy beaches and clear, blue Caribbean sea to be an absolute Paradise. The Riviera Maya allows you more opportunity for excitement than the confinement of the small Caribbean islands.
In Playa del Carmen you can safely walk to everything. From our condo ,the beach is only a few steps away. Restaurants, shops and more are right around the corner.
Here you have more choices of things to do and will never be bored as you can just hop on one of the comfortable Riviera Maya buses and tour the entire area or take the conveniently located ferry to the island of Cozumel . You can rent a car and drive to Holbox or to the Merida (the capital and a lovely colonial city) and also many more interesting places.
We escape gleefully to Mexico as often as possible and especially as soon as the cold weather creeps into our other hometown city, Toronto ,Canada!
In Playa del Carmen ,for our condo, we have great property managers who speak English, Spanish and Italian. They do a fantastic job and are there to assist all of our guests ,should anything be needed ,concerning our condo. Claudio and his team have been complimented by our guests.
Should you want to play golf, Golf Courses are a 10 minute drive or less from our condo.
You will discover Playa del Carmen to be a friendly place. Safe for families with small children . Everyone is welcome to this wonderful piece of Paradise and we do everything to make your visit ,the best ever.

The balcony is a private outdoor space and is covered and spacious. It is fabulous to relax in the most comfortable hammock. You can be outside even when it rains .Enjoy your meals outdoors too.
In our Condo Arbol, you will feel like you have escaped the big cities of North America or Europe. We have particularly decorated this condo in a style to have you experience that feeling of being in Mexico . Lie in our comfortable hammock on the spacious balcony and watch the birds or pick a coconut off one of the nearby trees, or just watch the birds.
The architecture of the complex and particularly that of Condo del Arbol with it's mahogany doors, rounded doorways columns, gorgeous Mexican tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, will make you feel you are in a different world. Isn't that how a vacation should be, to 'get you away' from the everyday routine?
In our condo ,you will find a binder with suggestions for restaurants ,tours and more. We will recommend a great transportation service that will pick you up and take you back to the airport. This same service offers tours to different parts of the Riviera Maya for you to see the ruins at Tulum, Coba and more. We send you all this information on confirmation of your booking.
We have a wonderful property manager, Claudio . He and his team take very good care of our guests should they need anything to do with the condo. They make sure to check, clean and prepare our condo for our guest's arrivals.

*Near many fabulous restaurants on nearby 38th Ave where you will have many culinary choices. The famous 5th Avenue is around the corner from there for you to stroll and to experience more restaurants and shops.

Enjoy LA BUENA VIDA ( the good life)
Back in your condo you can relax ,have a siesta, in a large hammock. Enjoy outdoor living on the covered balcony for dining ,siestas ,reading ,chatting and having a cocktail. We love the fact that we are never confined to being enclosed and can enjoy being outside ,all the time, rain or shine.
It is mostly sunny in this part of Mexico with temperatures that will make you forget snow and ice and for sure the only ice you will see will be in your drinks.
The Mexican tile work throughout is authentically Mexican. There is also a peaceful, spiritual feeling in this condo with its soft ,rounded architecture .
