We had a great time at Antoinette's condo at La Coccinela! Wendy, the caretaker was there to greet us and show us around. The condo was perfect for our needs with all the amenities. The grounds were beautiful and the pool was refreshing after a day at the beach.

Incredibly convenient to everything and great help in setting up a tour! Renters be aware of 15K use of air conditioning per day or extra charge as it does get hot in Playa in the summer! :) ##### Karen K.

The unit was comfortable and well equipped. The grounds were beautiful and immaculate. Property manager and owner were both quick to respond to questions. We loved the close proximity to the beach and enjoyed a morning dip. All services, restaurants, shops are within easy walking distance. Many thanks to owner and manager who responded quickly to our lock out incident. ##### Darlene O. Stayed 49 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin D. 5 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice but noisy We had enjoyable stay at this centrally located property. Close walking distance to beach and popular 5th ave walking street. Fairly well equipped and all our concerns were addressed promptly. Only issue is really noise from nearby bars/restaurants, street performers etc etc etc. Only quiet time really from 4am to 8:30am, so need to close windows and use air conditioning. This is a property for those who want to party. ##### Robin D.

The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for when we cooked, the beach chairs and pool chairs provided were much appreciated! The stovetop was a bit slow to heat up but we managed. Coming back from a short walk to and from Mamitas Beach and relaxing at the beautiful pool and garden was a daily routine and we will miss this! It is fairly close to grocery stores and a short walk to some quaint beach bars! We like to sleep with the windows open and a breeze at night but found 5th Avenue a bit noisy for this unfortunately, until later at night. Thanks Antoinette and staff, we loved your condo! ##### Shirley M.

The property management associates were very friendly and helpful. Additionally, the condo is equipped with all the necessary amenities, and a beautiful pool view from the condo entrance. The entire property is secure and well maintained; during our stay landscapers tended to the grounds and the pool. The restaurants, shops, and beaches are all walking distance from the condo. One essential feature is Wifi, I didn't have any problems with accessibility or connectivity. My husband and I visit the area on an annual basis; this visit was exceptional. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer. ##### Eartha C. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn S., DFW, USA 19 Jun 2017 #### Great location! Steps away from beach! The apartment was so close to the beach! Only 2 blocks away! And only a half block of the main strip - lots of restaurants, shopping, and taxis. We were very comfortable - nice place. Used the pool and the kitchen most days! The grocery store was a 10 min walk - but there were also some small markets and pharmacy on the main strip. We walked to dinner every night - and great places to eat. Antoinette was very helpful in providing information for our trip and her team in Playa Del Carmen met us when we arrived, showed us around and was available to answer questions. The team also helped us booked some fun excursions! Antoinette and her team also helped us with a few last minute adjustments to make our family trip great!! I hope we can come back again! ##### Dawn S. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Donna H. 3 Mar 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Worst Place Ever As soon as you open the doors the smell of MILDEW hits you, the bed was like sleeping on a piece of plywood with a inch of foam on it, the music that played at night was so loud it was like they were playing in the condo. The property manager said she forgot to mention that we should bring ear plugs to sleep. We were so miserable that we came home 5 days early 😢this was supposed to be our 20 year anniversary. We incurred a lot more $$ in Flights, cancel of staying and of course memories with my beloved. This by far is the worse place we have ever stayed. ##### Donna H.

This was our first VRBO stay and we hope to come back next year. Antoinette and her representatives are very responsive and welcoming. It was a pleasure dealing with them. The apartment is just as it appears in the photos. It is clean, well maintained and very well equipped. We felt very safe and secure. All the little extras to make you feel at home are there. It is very well located. The beach is only two short blocks away. We had no problem carrying the beach chairs and umbrella for a do it yourself beach day. We also enjoyed several of the beach bars which were further south on the beach but still within easy walking distance. We were able to walk to the big grocery store. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby but we we never bothered by noise. There is a lovely little patio with outside that has some privacy due to the immaculately maintained gardens. The pool was clean and great to cool off in. Thank you Antoinette and Lorena for a great stay!! ##### Rae S. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jolene W. 13 Feb 2019 #### Great Condo, Great location We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was great to head out for lunch or dinner on 5th Ave. We made breakfast at the condo, and enjoyed the quiet, private patio. The burner was really slow to cook on though. It is larger than the photos make it seem. It was perfect for my husband, 9 month old and myself. We spent a lot of time here, as with a little one it was easier to hang out by the pool. One downside for us was the construction going on above us made it hard to get our LO down for naps. There was banging almost all day for at least 4 days of our 7 day visit. For most people that wouldn't matter as it seems everyone in the complex headed out for the day. Overall, Antoinette, Aude and Lorena were very accommodating. They provided us with a playpen for my LO to sleep, and a kettle for us to prepare bottles. I don't know what we would have done without this. It was perfect for us! Thank you! ##### Jolene W.

First, the agent, Lorenzo, gave us a warm welcome, and made sure we had everything we needed. i'd say the biggest advantage of being in this condo was the location. A little 1 min walk and you are on the beach! We saved a lot of money by going for lunch at the condo and go back to the beach. Even though it is located at the corner of 5th street, the place is very quiet, since it is a private yard surrounded by walls, so you don't hear anything at night. We absolutely loved it! The place was clean, the price was good and we had everything we needed (water, etc). Don't expect a five star condo, it is not a luxirious palace like other places in Playa, but it is perfect for people who are looking for an unexpensive, clean and confortable place to stay, that is close to everything. Plus the service (both owner and agent), is very friendly and good. I'd say the kitchen stove and equipements are not made to cook a huge dinner, but convenient to make a small meal for 2. I'd recommend this appartment to anyone! ##### Pierre-Luc L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chantelle R. 25 Jun 2016 #### ¡Perfecto! Words could not even begin to describe how perfect staying here was! You are very close to the beach and a few feet away from 5th Ave, but somehow when you are back in the courtyard you feel very secluded from everything. Antoinette, Maeva and Aude were extremely helpful in answering all of our questions being our first trip to the area, as well as a last minute weather check in the day before we left. The pool is refreshing on the warm days and very private. They also have a safe in the house to lock up any personal items as you need to. Maeva also was so helpful in booking any excursions to Chichen Itza, which picked us up right outside our place. They also have a binder with other excursions and things to do if you are unfamiliar with the area. There is even a small car rental place right outside on the street if you decide to drive yourself anywhere as well which is very convenient. Taxis are also just all around also. Playa del Carmen is a beautiful city and we absolutely fell in love with it. Everyone is so wonderful and we are looking forward to coming back! We will be definitely be staying here on our next trip. Thank for making the vacation of our dreams. ##### Chantelle R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis B. 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Plaua del Carmen Excellent ##### Louis B.

The only issue (out of the owners control), is the loud music until late at night. I’d stay again in a heart beat ##### Jean K.

I didn't give the check-in a five only because my check-in and check-out were on holidays (Christmas and New Years), so minor hiccups are not unreasonable. I liked that it was close to the hopping part of town but not enmeshed in it. We walked everywhere and really appreciated all the recommendations and hints provided. ##### Nadine R.

Location is just a half block from lively fifth avenue but the bedroom, with door and window closed, was virtually soundproof at night. ##### Dorothy V.

Had the pool to ourselves. Nothing fancy, but it had everything that we needed. Would definitely return! ##### Steven G.

I will definitely come back! for anyone travelling on their own, this is the location you want. Minutes from anything you want eg. beach, shops, restaurants. The apartment was exactly as the pictures indicated and the back porch was an oasis of natural beauty. Antoinette and staff was very helpful in my preparation for this trip, taking away any concerns and/or answered all my questions with such kindness. Thank you again for helping my stay in Playa such a pleasurable one! Muchas gracias ##### Sabrina C.
