Loved the property location nice location and well maintained pool. We have stayed at El Faro many times and find it a great place.
Overall really enjoyed our stay. Had asked for an early check in but was never communicated that we could not… needed more utensils in the kitchen but overall fairly well appointed. Stayed at this property several times and love the location and beach front pool.
We liked the location of this property a lot. Everything we needed was within walking distance and we had a beach and a pool. Loved the next door beach restaurant zenzis. Our issue was we arrived and we had an empty water cooler and couldn’t get it replaced until next morning due to late arrival. We figured if this place was cleaned they should have noticed empty bottle and replaced it. The cleanliness of the space was also just so so. Could see marks of dried liquids in the bathrooms. Additionally the whole place had a terrible smell. Had to run the AC super low to keep the smell bearable but it was very strong, especially in the bedroom. Heard from some other guests there was an issue with the plumbing on one side of the building which caused all those rooms to have it. Regardless of the reason, the room definitely has a strong off putting odor that made it difficult to sleep.
The location property was next to everything! The manager contacted me quickly when I had an issue.
On the day of arrival I got a call telling me that the room I booked was uninhabitable and I was gonna a be moved to another room. I was bothered but I figured maybe there was a serious issue with the room so I said ok. I didn't ask because I could barely understand the person I spoke with and I speak English and Spanish but he had a hard accent in both languages and I couldn't decipher much.. About 15 minutes later I get another call from someone else telling me the same thing but this time it was because the people occupying it had given the wrong dates and needed it for another day. They moved me to another room which would have been ok, but then they said I would have to move the next day back to the original room I booked. This didn't make any sense to me because why was I going to be inconvenienced if I didn't book the wrong dates. I was there on a business trip and I had to make arrangements to come back and move rooms, and for my troubles I was offered nothing! NOT EVEN A LATE CHECKOUT! There was no TV in the bedroom which I need in order to fall asleep so I tried to sleep in what they call a sofa bed, which is a little bigger than a love seat which you can transform into a hate bed. (only for people you hate) It was so uncomfortable the sofa bed looked like it should have been replaced years ago. They charge for cleaning which is something you need to schedule with rules and regulations. If you ask me, cleaning is just the cost of doing business. I'd rather pay a little extra for my stay than pay and go through the hassle of scheduling cleaning. On another note, we woke up early to see the sunrise and walked down to the deck area by the pool and sat on the chairs and the security guard tells us we had to get off because we weren't allowed to sit there until 8am. We weren't going to be there longer than 15 minutes, but we were still made to get up. Surly this wasn't how I was expecting to be treated that early in the morning.
We loved the Condo, the stay was wonderful. I highly recommend the place.
EL Faro is in the center of everything that happens in the city and the apartment is very comfortable, with an incredible view of the pool and the sea. I highly recommend it
Incredible place to stay!
This is the perfect apartment if you want to enjoy All playa del Carmen has to offer. It’s walking distance to the center and great nightlife, but still Quiet. It offers the best beach access in town, as well as the best Infinite pool, with an amazing view. Apartment has everything you need to be able to cook. Spent a week during the pandemic and loved it. The VACASA manager (Alberto) is also very competent and available for all your needs. HIGHLY recommend!
Every thing was perfect!
