DETAILS TO NOTE
- Please be aware that seaweed is a natural phenomenon that hits Quintana Roo beaches, especially during the summer months (Apr-Oct). While the local team at El Faro and the municipality do a great job in cleaning it up, it can affect your ability to enjoy the beach and the ocean, so please make yourself aware of the current state of the seaweed, as we cannot offer refunds for issues related to seaweed.

- The central location of this property gives you access to the best that downtown Playa del Carmen has to offer. Due to our location next to restaurants and bars, you may experience some noise at this location. We do not offer refunds for noise issues. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay!

- The beach in front of El Faro will come and go seasonally, at times the ocean comes all the way up to the deck and the common area administration will block this area for security purposes. Please exercise caution and comply with any common area association rules.

- Your booking automatically includes a damage protection policy. Should any minor accidental damages occur during your stay, we will cover you up to $1,000. We understand accidents happen, so we've got your back! However, if we determine damage was willful or negligent, we will charge an additional cost based on the damage itself.

- We have a no-tolerance rule about parties and loud noise, so please be aware that complaints from neighbors, notifications from authorities, notifications from our noise monitoring software, or any other proof of disruptive behavior or loud noise between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM will result in fines of up to $1000.00, possible eviction and / or possible legal action if authorities are involved.

-The beach condition changes every day, weather and hurricanes tend to affect how wide the sand area is in our photos- sometimes the water reaches up to the deck.

- Please note that due to El Faro's security protocols, before your arrival, we will request a photo of each guest's ID that will be at the property during your stay.

Have any questions about our home or location? Please let us know! We hope to host you soon!

Christmas in Mexico

The condo was clean and had beautiful views of the pool and water. We enjoyed the rooftop plunge pool in the evenings as well. It is right in the middle of all activities making it easy to walk everywhere which we prefer. It’s a very busy and crowded area and as described, the music goes until 3-4 am. You must be ok with this or else sleep can be difficult. The pool is lovely but reserve your chairs early. There is no private beach near or around this condo. In our option, the surrounding beaches were not useable due to crowds and people selling things.

Couples Vacation at El Faro was Great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Faro. Checking was easy and management was communicative. The location couldn’t be any better and you have easy access to absolutely everything. We loved how cold the AC was during a very hot time in playa Del Carmen. The one thing they could improve on is the mattresses on both beds as they are very firm, and a little hard which made the extended stay a little difficult to sleep well. Now in our 40’s, we all were a little sore from the bed by the second day. Other than that we have no complaints and absolutely loved our stay, and will return again.

Excellent location, excellent accommodations

I was a little apprehensive about booking a VRBO in a foreign country due to negative experiences expressed in social media. My apprehension was not valid when it came to this property. The location is prime, we were in the middle of the action. We felt safe walking around at different times of day and night. The property has a large pool and is beachfront. Beach is public but there is security around and they ensure that only guests enter pool area and the complex. Condo had everything we needed except for a couple of items (salt and bath mats) but we made it work. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. We would definitely stay in the property again. Saving up for my next visit to PDC.

Summer vacation 2024

Another amazing vacation for our family. We enjoyed our stay in Reef 204. Great location, everything is very close to this place. Amazing condominiums, very nice pool and beautiful beach! Our condo was in the second floor with a great view to the pool and the beach. The unit is a great size for our family of 4. Both rooms have their AC units and theain room as well. Comfy beds, plenty of pillows, towels, beach towels. All 3 smart TV's working..Kitchen has an electric stove, dishwasher, fridge, the main microwave is not working but they have a spare. Blender, toaster and small coffee maker. Plenty dishes and cups. Walmart grocery store is in walking distance... everything is in walking distance! BTW, PDC don't do UBER. Overall, we had a great time, enjoyed the stay, the unit has everything you need. Shout out to the front desk team and the rest of their personnel they are awesome. Definitely we would like to come back!

There are security guards at the entrance to the building as well as around the grounds and at the beach - so you always feel safe.

El Faro Residences is located so close to 5th Ave and other beach bars & restaurants. We were in the heart of everything & could walk everywhere. Our unit was exactly as described. There was a race each morning to get a pool chair, however we always seemed to find what we needed. I would recommend El Faro as a safe & well appointed place to stay in Playa del Carmen.

Nice stay at El Faro!

Very nice, clean, and comfortable property on the beach! My family and I enjoyed our time here. The layout of the apartment was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but still very nice. Beware of street vendors who see you are wearing the El Faro yellow bracelet. They will try to tell you they met you there at the reception desk. Maybe El Faro will get rid of the bracelets like some of the all-inclusive resorts are doing in the future. Otherwise I definitely recommend this place!

Amazing place and convenient!

We had a wonderful time at El Faro. It was so close to everything, and right on a beach! There’s a nice restaurant/bar that has great food and drinks, right next to this place. Super easy walk to anything you could want! No need for car. We came to Playa Del Carmen first, then to Cozumel and lastly Isle Mujeres. We loved all the places but our family voted PDC our #1 due to convenience and tons of things to do. The place itself was great. Awesome pool, beach….the staff was SUPER. And I mean SUPER FANTASTIC. Try it for yourself I’m sure you’ll love it too. Thanks so much for the memories.
