Welcome. Bienvenidos. Bienvenue. Begrüßung.
My Casita is your Casa! Situated in Residencia La Coccinella - a boutique 12-Unit complex - located in a preferred Playa del Carmen neighborhood. Caribbean ⛱ Sea: two minute walk close. Restaurants and shops just around the corner from complex' secured Calle 28th and Calle 30th gates.
La Coccinella's one-of-a-kind setting offers refreshing tropical Garden-Pool sanctuary - after a day of excursions or beach time. Less than a 1/4 mile to the popular beach club Mamita's and sunrise at Caribbean Sea. Excellent restaurants, cafes, bistros and high-end-to-traditional shops line 5th Ave. The entire complex consist of 12 privately owned condos. Two 3-story buildings face/mirror the other, with a lush garden-POOL courtyard in between them. Original Classic-Playa's Italian+Mexican architecture blend. A rare jewel.
Use the privacy and convenience of this lovingly furnished haven as an Air Conditioned home-base to return to after excursions and beach outings. Relax and enjoy refreshments, check your email (secure hi-speed WiFi connectivity) on your own secluded patio. Since the condo is situated around the corner from restaurants, shops, bistros, cafes, beach clubs, and more! Everything you need is within walking distance.
This One-bedroom unit offers an extra comfy King-sized bed and is furnished with all the comforts of home. Second bed is a sturdy sofa-sleeper in the Living Room. A double-sized quality futon fold-out mattress.
Both the Living Room & Bedroom have AC Units w remote control. Both living spaces have large high quality three-speed ceiling fans, as well. Relax with secured WiFi service everywhere in my condo. Catch a flick or favorite show on the 40" flat screen television. Connect your laptop with the provided HDMI cable for streaming preferences.
The Kitchen has every item you might desire for: blending drinks, cooking up an omelette, preparing toast, making a tropical fruit salad or prepping items to BBQ or grill in the patio's full-size WEBER barbecue grill.
The private pool-side patio is ideal for enjoying the beauty and sanctuary of our tropical garden-pool courtyard. Umbrella for shade around a patio table with three padded seat armchairs.
This lovely home-away-from-home, sleeps Two adults very comfortably. Plus a child or teen. And is positioned on the garden-pool level of the 12-unit complex. Designed with a blend of European and Mexican styling, our 'authentic-Playa' complex is a superbly maintained Playa del Carmen Classic.
Enjoy the views of our lush garden-pool tropical garden as you look out the living room's floor-to-ceiling screened-in glass doors. Make yourself at home!
Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, some relaxing sun on a Guest's lounge chairs. Or go to, Mamita’s Beach Club or other great near-by beach club choices. Want to enjoy the turquoise waters of ‘El Caribe’/the Caribbean? If you choose a beach club, they will provide you with a chaise, a shady sombrilla/umbrella and friendly food and beverage service. If not, my apartment has articulating beach chairs, a Tommy Bahama Beach Umbrella...and a small cooler.
Besides Spanish, English and Italian---you will hear languages from around the world. The international mix of locals, business owners and tourists enhances Playa del Carmen's cosmopolitan vibe.
Our expert Guest's Relations team, led by Aude, are fluent in English, Spanish and French. Welcome! ¡Bienvenida! Bienvenue!
Please note that Playa del Carmen in general has noisy bars and restaurants. Particularly in its "City Center" where La Coccinella complex is. "Centro" es: Calle 10th (south) towards Constituyente north to Calle 38th, along Fifth Avenue. Our Guests find our noise-abating suggestions very satisfactory. Or have no issues with - even like - area's lively music. The once very loud nightclub mentioned in some older reviews is gone! Yippee...
Fly into Cancun International Airport and take a rental car, ADO bus, taxi or shuttle 45 minutes south to Playa del Carmen. We'll gladly help you schedule your transfer with Sr Aldo -- our favorite professional transfer service. Enjoy you vacation!
