Was a great location, quiet and very spacious. To bad the pool table was not usable, it was a disappointment.

We’ll-equipped spacious condo

The condo is well-equipped in a gated property near a variety of restaurants and the touristic charm of 5th Avenue. The hosts were attentive and responsive. There is no elevator; guests must climb 38 steps to reach the unit.

Fabulous spot

Location was perfect. The house was beautiful and nicely decorated. I took advantage of the in home spa treatments from the menu left in the home and that was great too! We brought our Shar Pei and she loved it there! Playa and Cozumel are super pet friendly too. Highly, highly recommend this casa!

Excellent modern condo.

Love it. Modern. Comfy bed!! BIG TVs. 6 blocks away from 5th just so you can't hear it at night. Nice pools up top and loungers for sunbathing. Great value here.

Showers on main level did not work, supplies very limited. Also, lack of communication with onsite manager was not done, in a timely manner. Let her know but response was 4 days later, and once she did reply, no regard was given.
