Playa del Carmen vacation
The condo was as pictured inside. However, there no beach at all behind the property! The picture on line shows a beach that has since washed completely away. There is extensive shore erosion with sand bags & big boulders about 6 feet outside the back door. There is absolutely no way we could have entered the water to swim. Several fishing boats are anchored behind the building and are there daily whenever they were not out on a trip. Any time we wanted to go to the beach we had a walk of several blocks away. We bought chairs to use at the beach as renting chairs was either too expensive or not available when we arrived at there. The pool is inside the building with an opening in the roof directly above the pool. It’s like an indoor pool with a big skylight. We stayed there for 4 weeks & we never used it & no one else in the building ever used it either. So, other than no beach & no pool, the condo was as we had expected. The condo had everything we needed, we were comfortable, everything was clean, the location was close to everything and was completely walkable and safe. Playa del Carmen is quite a bit hotter & more humid than we knew, so no pool & no beach did affect our enjoyment of our vacation there.. the employees were friendly and helpful, that part was perfect.
