Never having been to Playa del Carmen before we were a bit unsure of what to expect. After looking at the photos of Arena Blanca 4 on various web sites and reading reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked our condo through Bric Rentals. Our flight into Cancun was delayed however once on the ground we contacted the concierge to let him know we would be late. He assured us he would for wait for us to arrive to hand over our keys and info on the condo.
The condo was exactly as displayed, clean, modern and very well situated (close to beach and 5th aver). Daily maid service as well as water was included as was a cell phone. One problem with the cell phone was the number as indicated on the phone was not correct. Once the problem was identified, it was quickly remedied. The complex was very well taken care of and all of the staff on site was very friendly and accommodating.

We were very pleased with Arena Blanca 4 and plan to stay at the same condo on future vacations.

After a week of total peace in Tulum we stayed another week at Arena Blanca in Playa del Carmen. We were surprised by all the luxury that we found in the apartment! It is really complete and we would definitely consider staying there again if we would go back to Playa del Carmen again. Small complex, good location. We could walk everywhere, to the beaches and to the fifth at night. Supermarkets are close as well. Great place! More...

This unit was perfect. First floor and all the amenities you could hope for. Kitchen was great, washer and dryer came in handy. You're steps from the beach and close enough to Centro but far enough away, too. The internet worked sporadically, which was disappointing, and no-one seemed to know how to fix it. There were some communication problems between staff members but it wasn't bad. RENT....STAY....ENJOY! More...

We were familiar with the Playa del Carmen area from previous travels and wanted to stay in a more casual atmosphere for our May 2008 visit. This unit was perfect for us. It was nice to have the bathroom extension (like a 2nd bathroom - or one really BIG bathroom with duplicate facililities!). We really liked having the convenience of a full kitchen. And as weird as it might sound we were thrilled to have a washer and dryer. It was absolutely a home away from home for us.

We enjoyed the walk in to the busier part of town and really appreciated that we knew there would be a security guard present when we returned - even late at night.

We've been back to Playa since we stayed at Arena Blanca and we even made a point to walk there just to see it and show it to our friends (the security guard looked at us as though we were a bit odd). Every trip is a good trip to Playa del Carmen - but the year we stayed at Arena Blanca has been the best accommodation so far. We look forward to renting this property again. More...

We really enjoyed our stay at Arena Blanca #4. The setting is very nice and close to the beach (about a 5-10 minute walk).

The recommend this condo for the traveler who would like to be a little more independent, yet stay in a very comfortable setting. The pool is small, but still very nice.

I would consider staying at this place again.
