Condo in Playa del Carmen
Review Submitted: August 24, 2008

If you are looking for a place with kitchen facilities, close to a great grocery store, air conditioning, washer/dryer, very clean, 1/2 block from main road that will take you to the beach and 5th Avenue, and located in an area surrounded by Playa locals, then this is great! This was the experience we were looking for and it worked out well. My granddaughter and I felt very safe, even to walk around at night and being that the condo was located in zone 1 it was only 20 pecos one way, versus anytime you travel to or from Playacar it is 50! (appprox $5) one way. The restaurants price out the same as in the states and so does everything else, the dollar is just not a good deal any more and that is why the kitchen came in handy for breakfast, drinks and snacks, also great restaurants on 5th Avenue, even a "healthy food" restaurant that had a great menu and food. I highly recommend Playa del Carmen and if you are not looking for all the crowds at the big resorts, then I would recommend the condo. There was a problem with the pool when we arrived so never used, instead preferred the beach, but the pool was back to working order the day before we left. The condo also had a computer and internet so communicating back home was no problem.
