The place was an amazing experience, Pauline was attentive to every need we had. I would easily give it more than five stars if I could. The place was clean, spacious, and had a great feel about it. The beach was so close and 5th Avenida was not too far but far enough to avoid the noise. I’d love to stay here next time we come to Playa del Carmen. ##### Santiago R. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect, spacious, near the beach, fully equipped All 7 of us considered it amazing. It was perfectly located 2 short blocks from the beach, but also had a great little pool out front where we spent half our time. Roof top patio, multiple floors, multiple balconies meant that everyone could find some away space. The best part was that it was fully equipped. There were all the beach chairs, umbrellas that we needed, and a cooler. Two bicycles with a bike lock and key were perfect for a quick ride into town for groceries. This is the second time we've been to Playacar, and the next time, we will book here; I'm sure we wouldn't find a better place. Had lots of quick response communication with both the owner and Sergio, the on-site property manager, who passed by several times. ##### David M.

She made our stay wonderful and was extremely helpful. In addition to quick and helpful communication, she helped us arrange shuttle ride to and from the airport and connected us with a driver who could take us to and from the wedding we were attending. The local property manager, Sergio, was also very helpful. We were able to hire his mother to cook a dinner for us one night--the dinner was excellent. The property was just as described. Safe and clean neighborhood with security staff + very close to the beach. I highly recommend staying at Pauline's residence in Playa! ##### Kyle G. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Monique D. 14 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 200 steps to the beach! Three adult couples shared the villa for 11nights-The villa is spacious very clean, very bright and friendly.The layout is interesting and was not really conducive to our group- the 2 most upper decks are accessible only through the master bedroom. However we made it work and very much enjoyed our time at Casa Palmas. Pauline is extremely gracious answering any questions. Sergio is also quick to answer and remedy any problems and help book a driver (which we did several times- Juan is amazing if you book a driver through Sergio) Maria keeps the Villa clean and well maintained. Beach chairs, umbrellas beach mats and 2 adult bikes with a lock are available to use. Along with being so close to the beach you are a very short walk to 5th Avenue with some Mayan Ruins along the way! ##### Monique D. Stayed 11 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda L. 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here! We travelled with 6 adults and 2 children ages 3.5 and 5\. I found the house and area very safe for my kids. The beach is a few minute walk like the other reviews said. There is a shower in the back to rinse off after the beach. The small pool was good enough for my children and a few adults. Though it isn’t heated so it does feel a bit chilly at first. I didn’t realize the pool is in the front yard right near the street, but thankfully the street is very quiet and only a few people walk by here and there. Pauline (the owner) contacted me prior to the trip to see if I had any questions and provide some advice, she was also quick to answer any messages while we were at the house. Sergio (the house manager) was so helpful, he helped us book 2 excursions, checked in on us to see if we needed anything and answered all of my questions while we were there (like how much I should pay for a taxi so we don’t get taken advantage of.) Maria (the house keeper) came every 2 days and kept the house very clean! We took the advice of other reviews and booked Sergio’s mom Laura to cook for our group. We were there for 9 days and did 3 breakfasts and 2 suppers. The portions are huge with plenty of leftovers for the next day. She tailored the food to our group, making sure dishes weren’t too spicy and even made some special things for the kids. Her food was amazing! We are already looking at coming back here again! ##### Amanda L.

Thank you so much for the hospitality and letting us share your home! Loved how close we were to the beach and 5th Ave. Highly recommend! ##### Tina B.

Minutes walk from the beach and market place on 5th Ave. The Villa had everything we needed. Very Clean. Sergio and his Mother were great. We had Sergio's mother prepare our meal on the day of arrival, an it was exactly what we wanted, we also had leftovers for 3 day which was a plus. Great location for us! Sorry we didn't have time to stay longer than the week we were there! ##### Dwight N.

To start, I can't say enough about the host Pauline! She was always there before my trips to answer questions and arrange transport from the Cancun airport. The house was amazing! Plenty of room to roam around and plenty of separate space so you didn't feel on top of each other. The area was secure and close to walk to grab a cab or just cruise down the beach. My friends and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay there for my 40th bday trip. I highly recommend the villa! ##### Mike S.

It was a beautiful house with lots of room. Sergio took such good care of us and was really responsive to our needs. The walk to 5th Avenue was minimal and there were even ruins to see on the way. Also, Pauline made sure that all of our arrangements were in place before our arrival. Can't recommend this place enough ! Thank you for the hospitality !

We took our family (6 grandsons and 6 adults) to Playa Del Carmen for 11 days! The home was beautifully decorated and had many conveniences for all of us to enjoy meals in. We were 2 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes from downtown so days were spent on the beach and at night we walked into town for street entertainment and dinners. Sergio hooked us up with our favorite driver Remero! He offered suggestions for our day trips and the kids loved honing their Spanish with him. Casa Palmas was amazing and Pauline made the trip fun for all of us. Thanks to all for giving our family a magical vacation! ##### Melissa F.

There are also nice terraces upstairs to enjoy the sun. Sergio is helpful and his mom makes some wonderful dinners. The beach was pretty but we had the bad luck that nobody can predict of seaweed washing up on the beach. The beach is quite close. There is plenty of room for families and 2 kitchens. We did hear some distant construction work the first 2 mornings of our visit but in short order I am sure the team will move along. ##### Wayne D.

We loved the house and pool!! Sergio was so kind and accommodating. The only issue was the algae bloom had impacted this beach so we were unable to enjoy the ocean. It would have been nice to have known in advance before we went to the market and bought lots of groceries ... and before booking 3 different sets of family members to ride in from Cancun airport. We had to cut our time at the house short and rebook in a different area. ##### Kari L.

The house is so lovely - 4 outdoor seating areas - pool - ocean just down the block. There was some construction going on behind the house so we couldn't use the roof seating area during working hours, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm for a wonderful stay at this location. The neighborhood is so beautiful and we walked it every day - spent time at the beach every day, including enjoying some fabulous sunrises - also enjoyed the bird sanctuary. Our host and property manager were the best! They arranged all travel for us and also arranged for Laura to cook 2 meals for us - what a bonus that is! Those meals were fantastic! Everyone so helpful and delightful. Would highly recommend this property. ##### Paulette F.

A short walk to the city center and to the Reef Marina, our dive shop. Two kitchens, four bedrooms, a sofa bed on the 2nd floor, and 3 bathrooms, with patios, rooftop, and a small play pool to hangout. The master BR on the top floor doesn't have full privacy, but it was spacious with a great master bath. The owner was responsive and the local staff were very attentive during our stay. The unit has 2 bikes, which made it convenient to run to the store. Air conditioning was listed as an option and I missed that when originally booking. ##### Bernie F.

The house is immaculate and comes with everything you need. Pauline answered many questions before we arrived and arranged our transportation from the airport. Sergio was there always checking on us and making sure everything was perfect! Thank you Sergio!!! We ENJOYED Sergio’s moms cooking one night! It was DELICIOUS! Super close to the beach and easy walking distance to 5th Avenue. Pauline’s house is in a very secure location. We always felt safe walking to and from town. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! ❤️ ##### Mary T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ---
