another great stay More...

First, the difficulties:

1. Finding it the first time - we arrived in early evening (after hours), took the ADO bus from Cancun, then walked down 5th for 20 blocks asking directions and getting different answers along the way. Thank goodness we had a Spanish speaker with us, otherwise we might have been on the street the first night.

2. One of the toilets did not flush for the first two days.

3. The hot water did not work to the kitchen sink and one of the showers for the first three days.

4. The provided bottled water was sometimes insufficient for 4 adults.

5. 24 of the last 30 hours we were without running water at all!

6. The unit is more or less directly over a club that plays loud (American) music almost every night.

7. The online reservation system and back-and-forth with the management company felt antiquated and clunky. One of my fears when were initially lost and couldn't find the place was that it didn't exist! :)

Now, the good!

1. The unit is well appointed - both bedroom are of good size, and 2 full modern-looking bathrooms. The kitchen is a godsend, especially because there weren't a lot of food options around (although this may change soon because the surrounding area is being built up fast!)

2. Three fantastic porches, including the rooftop deck. We spent a lot of time and had a lot of meals/drinks on these.

3. The view is amazing, and better than we expected.

4. Secured parking for the asking.

5. Great proximity to one of the most popular beaches, good people watching, and close enough to the main drags to get wherever you want without dealing with too much noise (note the nightclub exception mentioned above).

If you ignore all the weird plumbing issues we had, and assume that they don't happen to everyone, and if you can bring earplugs for the nightclub and/or just close the windows and use the A/C at night, I highly recommend this unit for the location and the unit itself. More...

We (2 couples) rented this condo for a 2 week vacation in Feb 09. We rented through Bric International and we would definately use their services again. The condo was very cozy and we especially enjoyed the roof top deck. There is a bar on the street level of this complex and the music at night was somewhat annoying, although not so much so that we wouldn't return here. We are not the partying type, more looking for R&R. There are 3 decks to choose from, off the living room, master bedroom and rooftop. You could find sun or shade as desired. The decks could use some freshening up (paint) and new furniture but overall we were satisfied with this unit. There were lots of towels and basically everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the maid service provided by Bric (Mon-Sat). This unit is great for 2 couples as there are 2 full bathrooms, one off each bedroom.

Beautiful condo and the location couldn't be better. The roof top terrace is just lovely. I wouldn't definately stay here again! Fun to watch people come and go to Mamitas.

A few nights there was extremely loud music being played at the bar below, so loud kept us up and actually made the floor vibrate/shake.... More...
