Break before the season starts at home
El Faro is a great location in Playa Del Carmen. No need for a car, best pool in town, and everyone on site couldn’t be nicer.
I highly recommend this condo as well as Susan who helped us.

Great Location on the Beach
Really enjoyed our stay. The location is the best in Playa Del Carmen. Beautiful ocean views and a great pool. The odor from the seaweed was mildly unpleasant. The condo unit was well appointed although somewhat in need of updating.

Great place!
Perfect location, gorgeous condo, everything in excellent, working condition. Only problem was seaweed made beach minimally accessible, but of course there’s really nothing the property can do about that. But nicer beach is just a short walk away, so it’s not that big a deal. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Condo, Great Location
The condo was perfect for the four of us and the location is perfect. We walked everywhere in a 30x40 block area. So many great restaurants and bars that we didn’t really use the kitchen. The beach is pretty messy with the sargassum bloom but not really a bother. The pool was great for cooling off and working on my sun burn er tan. We felt very safe as there is a noticeable police presence. We will definitely come back.

We will come back!
We stayed over New Year and it was outstanding all the way around. Condo was great, staff were great, the ocean was great. We needed water for the dispenser and it was there in minutes. Walked to Wal-mart for food, drinks, and necessities, it was a 7 minute walk. Dive shops right at the property and they picked us up in front of the property. Water was beautiful and the city staff worked to keep the beach clean each day. 3 minutes to 5th Avenue and everything we needed for restaurants. Host was on top of everything and was very responsive.

Vacation
Rained the entire week except for the last day. Seaweed was out of control. Not the owners fault. It is what it is.
We had two reusable Walmart shopping bags that we had to purchase when buying groceries on the countertop and was disappointed that they disappeared after the housekeeper was in on Tuesday. Felt like we needed to lock everything up after that. Nice condo, great view if the weather would have cooperated.

Our getaway place
We have stayed at this property before so obviously we are fans of it. The location, size, and property are perfect for our needs. We are always very comfortable with the surroundings and security of the property. The Villa is just the right size for 3-4 adults. The wooden boardwalk in front of the property was damaged in a storm a few days before our arrival but the complex seemed to be on top of completing needed repairs. There was a Villa undergoing construction by the pool which did increase the noise level during the day but relaxing in the sun and listening to the waves overcame that minor issue. Susan, the property manager, responded promptly to any questions or requests. Another wonderful week in Residences el Faro!

We loved it so much, we scheduled another vacation in a couple of months. The condo is beautiful, and fully appointed. The location cannot be beat. Steps from the ocean, 1 block from Dive shops, and your beach is exactly where the SCUBA boats pick you up. If you are a SCUBA diver, this location cannot be beat.

Just what we needed.
This was just what we needed. The condo resort was a beautiful place to stay. The owner is quick to respond with issues or answers. The staff at the condo resort is friendly and helpful. The security there was great. We felt very safe.
On a side note, traveling during Covid can be scary. But when we traveled to Mexico, we felt so safe. They are doing such a great job with safety measures.; from the airport, to stores, restaurants, and shops. They have taken this virus serious.

Fabulous unobstructed views will take your breath away. We're a family of 4, use VRBO for 10 years and this is by far our favorite condo ever. Just amazing.

Great property in a great location
This property fully exceeded our expectations. Right on the best part of the beach that we could find. Great access to the water, the beach was super clean. The property was so clean, and well maintained. There were property management resources "patrolling" the perimeter of the property between the beach and the pool, and we always felt secure. The inside of the unit was beautiful. Everything in great working order and it had everything we needed for a short stay in Playa. Thank you for a beautiful spot - we hope to be back next year!

Headache
Me and my fiancé were looking forward to our second part of our trip in playa .
We first rented a house on Tulum with Vrbo .
Perfect smooth stay .
Not with this one . Check in was hard the person responsible for checking us in almost made me believe I was on the wrong place and if my girlfriend wasn’t able to speak some Spanish we would be running around town.
The apartament has great location .
Be ready the bed is small you will fit in if you are 5’5 inch other wise your foot will be out of the bed .
Air condition was dripping , showers weren’t clean ... and the property manager was poorly in communication and not whiling to make any effort after we had try communicate with her several times .
Ah make sure if you are renting a car you will have to pay $15 a day to park your vehicles and you must have a voucher and we weren’t aware of it so took us half of our vacation to pull our car from Wall Mart parking lot and finally park in the garage .
Location in perfect but was to much of a headache. I don’t recommend.

Beautiful Condo
The unit is next to the beach (more on that later) and convenient to 5th Ave shops and restaurants. Pool is quiet and clean and security is always visible. The only downfall this unit has is the beach is filled with rotting seaweed and the water so gross no one would swim there. Every morning at least 50 workers were there raking up the mess and hauling off with trailers but it never stayed clean or helped the water clear up. Apparently this has been going on for some time. We went to Cozumel on the ferry several times to enjoy snorkeling and site seeing. Many nice beaches there. Overall this is a great condo, just not the beach!

Property location was perfect, beach was a failure.
The condo and the grounds were well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly at all times. The beach was a mess. The sargassum seaweed was piled up on the beach until there was only a narrow walkway in the sand. No attempt at any time was made by the El Farro to clean the mess up and after four days the smell was not good. I now have done online research and found that the sargassum seaweed has been an issue since 2015. This should be disclosed to potential renters as it has a big impact on the quality of their vacation. To get into the ocean you had to muck through two to three feet of the smelly mess. We feel that the owners/managers of this condo should disclose the beach situation up front. We will not return to Playa del Carmen nor to the El Faro. The white sandy beach shown in the picture is not the beach we experienced and should be removed from the property profile as it is totally misleading. I have pictures that show the piles of seaweed, most are three to four feet high, but one was a massive 12 feet high where a backhoe had deposited some of the cleanup effort. I think VRBO also has a responsibility to disclose this situation.

The condo was everything we wanted. Second floor balcony overlooking pool and beach was outstanding. So close to the water you felt you were part of the action. Location one block from the walking street and in center of town makes going North or South very convenient. Ate out each evening and had great food. Will certainly be back.
