We enjoyed a wonderful 1 month stay at this Private 2 story penthouse. The beds were comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, plenty of hot water for showers and plush towels. It was very convenient having a washer and dryer inside the unit. The patio overlooking the pool is a great place to relax, have refreshments, grill food and watch the sunrise. The pool, hot tub and lounge chairs are very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the private beach club located adjacent to the complex. The location is secure, within walking distance to the beach, many restaurants, shops and grocery stores.

We just returned from an amazing family trip to Playa del Carmen, where we stayed at the Elements. The Elements is in a great part of town - outside of the chaos but everything in Playa is accessible with a short walk. Plenty of nearby cafes, restaurants and convenience stores. The condo unit was spacious, clean and exactly as advertised. The property manager, Lilian was responsive and professional. We would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at the Elements. The condo was very comfortable and spacious and very well equipped. We cooked ourselves often as the groceries store was within walking distance, as we're multiple fabulous restaurants. Our concierge was very helpful and available for all needs. Thank you Lillian! It was so quiet and getting a pool or beach spot was never a concern. My husband doesn't want to ever stay anywhere other than the Elements again. The only negative for us, was the water pressure was very low, and the smell at the beach could be pretty bad some days.

Wonderful beachfront location

We were very pleased with our stay at PH8 in 'The Elements' property. The free on site parking, 7-11 across the street, clean, private beach and private beach front chairs were incredible.Our only downfall was that we thought we'd have an outdoor grill for cooking (shown in the pictures), and there was no dishwasher in the unit, but now know that was an oversite by me when booking.We would highly recommend this property anyone looking for a great, safe location in Playa del Carmen. Lillian was very prompt and amazing with answering any questions we had during our stay, as well as providing great restaurant options to us! Thank you!

Fantastic stay in playa de Carmen

We had a great spring break week staying at the elements. The unit is beautiful and comfortable. Plenty of space for our family of 6. The pool is perfect, very large and not crowded at all. The beach club is very convenient to have right there. Neighborhood was very fun to walk around - plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. The host Ann was very easy to work with. Lilian the concierge was so helpful and kind in setting up activities for the week and great advice for our week in PDC. Thank you so much for our great week!!

Great Condo - Very Clean, Private, and Enjoyable

We had a great time in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We opted not to stay in a traditional resort and instead rent through VRBO - we are beyond thrilled with this decision. The condo was very clean, well stocked, felt safe, and was super family-friendly. We ordered food and grocery deliveries through a local app. The Elements has a low-key vibe that allowed us to relax. The kids loved the pool and had a great time swimming. Renting the condo allowed us to walk to local shops and restaurants easily. If you want the best of both worlds, I recommend private rentals coupled with resort day passes. I would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

Amazing Family Holiday

We just returned to Canada after our 12 day stay in this 2 level penthouse condo. Travelled with my husband, 2 young boys and my parents. We all had plenty of space in the condo and it had everything we needed! The host of the property was wonderful to deal with and the assigned concierge service that we received even before we arrived was wonderful. The grounds and pool area were very well kept, clean and secure. Best part is having the private beach for condo residence only. Had a wonderful Super Bowl party on the beach with 2 big screens and food! Only thing we all wished was that the pool was slightly heated. We could only hop in to cool off and then had to get out. Thanks again!!

Perfect condo and Lillian is the best!

We loved our stay here! The condo was clean, well stocked and just perfect! Great location and it's right next to a police station if that matters to anyone. Also right next to a great Italian place: Salento(Great pizza!). Pool was perfect as well. The best part was working with Lillian. I don't think I've ever had such great service! We had a few minor things break like the dryer knob and the pool pump and Lillian took care of them immediately and was in constant contact. She also checked in regularly, sent restaurant recommendations and even took care of all the transportation arrangements we needed. We had one of the kids get an ear infection and asked her about local doctors and she immediately sent us all the info we needed and checked back to make sure we were good. It was just so nice to have someone there to help us while in a foreign country! I could honestly go on and on about her great service!

Nice, but not a luxury penthouse as listed

Lilian, the concierge, is fantastic. She helped with requests for an amazing home cooked meal with a chef, birthday cupcakes for my daughter and airport transportation. She was quick to answer all of my messages. We would have given a better review if so many maintenance issues had not occurred during our stay and the owner would have corrected the inconvenience. -air conditioner went out over night -ceiling leaked water all over an open suitcase of clean clothes -main toilet did not work -the condo turned off all our water over night and did not turn on until 11am and did not tell us Everything was fixed quickly, but it really felt like one thing after another. The owner and Lilian offered an apology but no offer for discount for the inconvenience. I asked for a discount days ago and after much back and forth the owner offered a nominal amount of $200. This was days ago and there has been refund to my account at this time.

Superb location, excellent amenities on site

The 2 story penthouse apartment is very spacious and full of light from well placed windows. It's well equipped with excellent televisions in all bedrooms and living room (must log on to personal Netflix, Prime, You Tube), good kitchen equipment, ample plates, cutlery, etc.. There is no dishwasher and some small appliances (e.g. toaster) did not work or malfunctioned. Overall, the apartment is well maintained, though the living room carpet is coming up at the corners and poses a tripping hazard that we reported to the property manager. Furnishings are clean and in good repair. The complex has a wonderful, big pool, clean well maintained grounds, a superb gym with excellent workout equipment and free weights, and a well kept and truly lovely private beach with a very good beach cafe. Less positive, the security guard at check in had no idea who we were, no record of us renting the unit, and really struggled with getting us checked in and equipped with our wrist bands. The process took over 1/2 hour. In the end, he also recorded the wrong dates and the desk had us leaving almost immediately after we arrived. More positive, the property manager is wonderful, really friendly, professional and helpful. One very negative feature of our visit: pretty much every day for our entire stay there was a terrible stench, like raw sewage, very strong outdoors, sometimes almost as strong indoors. I presume, but don't know, that the source is rotting seaweed, which is pretty copious.
