“Sweet Spot On The Mayan Riviera” We were thrilled when we first walked onto this rental property and we stayed thrilled through to the end of our stay. We liked it so much that we travelled back there the next year. The house was spotless, the caretakers were friendly and they went out of their way to help us out. The pool was definately our favorite feature, we loved the fact that it was all our own. The beach is just a hop, skip and a jump away and the nearest city is about a 15 minute car ride, which is close enough for dinner and shopping but far enough away to be quiet at night. The house is gorgeous and the a/c came in handy for sleeping. We rented a car and traveled to Mayan ruins during the day and relaxed poolside at night. We really couldn't have been happier with the place!

“Great Property in Playa del Carmen” My first visit to playa and we decided to go with an agent to avoid any problems in Mexico. Bric Vacation rentals was very thorough and they offer first class service to all of their guest. I rented two condos at their elements building H2 & H3 both beach front property's with a private beach area and walking distance from 5th ave. I was impressed with the detail of their service from cleaning service on a daily basis to onsite security as well as a washer/dryer in the unit. we were very pleased with the over all experience and would definitely stay there again.

“Beautiful apartment, plus lovely veiws” This apartment has everything you could wish for, fully equipped. Beautiful view of the beach, sea & pool, literally a few steps from the apartment is the private beach. The main 5th ave is also only 5 minutes walking distance, however this apartment is very quiet.

“A great condo in a great building run by very pleasant people.” Gh11is a ground floor apartment which has a lovely stretch of lawn between it and the large pool. It is wonderful for children because it makes for easy access and gives children an area to play. Having said that, it is not overly noisy, nor is there a lack of privacy as people walk by. I found it to be a very friendly way to connect with other guests. The view of the ocean is limited because of the elevation but we spent so much time on the beach and in the pool that it really didn't matter. I really appreciated the patio furniture, since we spent so much time there, (although some repair is needed). The Elements is a beautiful building and has a wonderful, private beach which is well maintained and has available, in an unobtrusive corner, one of the best massages ever for 30 dollars! Staff is exceptional. Location is wonderful if you don't mind a quick ten minute walk to fifth and value tranquility. Condo is very well equipped (although a bigger coffee pot would have been nice). All in all a wonderful spot for a beautiful vacation.

“Beautiful pool and beach away from the crowds” Four teacher friends rented this unit for February break, based on a retired colleague's recommendation (she was here with her husband in November, 2012). It proved to be a great base to explore Playa del Carmen and the surrounding area and more than met our needs. We rented through Bric rentals, and this seems to be the way to go, as you get additional services you might not get when renting from an individual owner. These included maid service on weekdays, a cell phone to contact the manager Damian 24/7, etc. They also arranged for a grocery package to be in the unit when we arrived. All the units in this complex are two bedroom, and the only problematic aspect was that two of us had to share a king bed. It would be nice if the kings could convert to two beds when being used for renters that don't want to share a bed. But the two that shared said the bed was so big, it was like sleeping in your own bed. The unit was nicely furnished and had large closets, nice bathrooms, a washer/dryer (great help!), ironing board/iron (which leaked), and fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, etc. The view from our balcony was of the pool and the beach beyond. The rooftop terrace was a little less spectacular than it could be -- just two loungers, a hot tub with a cover that wouldn't stay on when it was windy, and a broken down grill (there was a new Weber grill on the balcony, we would have preferred a gas grill). I think some of the furniture on the main floor's balcony was meant to be on the rooftop terrace but had been moved downstairs. It was easy to get to Fifth ave., however the two blocks up to it are in a state of construction and without lighting at night. It was safe to walk though. We also took cabs home some nights. If you want to walk the full length of 5th ave. bring your walking shoes, it is hike to get to the end, but we liked being away from the noise yet still accessible to the action. Elements made a great home away from home!

“Fantastic Family Getaway” Our family of 8 were originally booked to stay at El Faro during Spring Break, but after some double booking by El Faro's management company, we lost our reservation. However, the manager at El Faro helped us find Luna Encantada. We were leary because we didn't know anything about the Luna. I have to say we were thrilled once we got there. The hotel is clean, well maintained. The pool was heated (which the grandkids loved compared to El Faro's freezing pool the year before.) There was actually a beach-the sand washes away every year in certain areas in Playa and this year some beach-front hotels were actually ocean-front. So we had lovely beach, plenty of beach chairs, 2 beach servers who were just wonderful-I wish I could remember their names! Our apartment had 3 bedrooms with a rooftop that had hammocks, chairs, tables and most important-a BBQ grill. We spent several nights cooking at home, visiting and just spending time together. We worried that 8 people and 2 bathrooms would be a problem, but it never was. We will definitely stay here again. Luna Encantada is centrally located and a wonderful place to stay. Oh, and the management company, Playa Beach Getaways is incredibly organized. We had all the information we needed. If you've never been to Playa they send you so much information on what to expect, what to do, and where to go you'll feel completely prepared. Go and have fun!

“Wonderful Vacation!” My family of 6 stayed in Luna Encantada C3 for one week and had the best vacation ever! The unit was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. The men at the front gate and the beach were extremely friendly and very eager to help with bags or putting up a beach umbrella. The location is absolutely perfect, with an amazing beach and great dining just steps away. We would love to return!

“Fantastic condo in Playa” Our 2nd visit to Playa, and Luna Encantada is potentially the best "on the beach" condo in the whole town. The unit was lovely, spacious, with a fabulous terrace for evening drinks. The location is great right next to 5th avenue and all the restaurants and clubs in easy walking distance. The condo staff is very friendly and helpful. A no-brainer.

“Little slice of paradise” Incredible food. Perfect beach. Professional, talented staff. Great house -- comfortable, classy and laid back, all at the same time. Me and a few friends rented the villa for four days in February, and we had not a single complaint. If you are looking for a low key beach vacation, away from crowds and hubbub, this is a wonderful spot to consider. I can't think of a single complaint. Oh, and the view from the SkyLounge -- exceptional.

“Great apartment!!” This place fully met all of our expectations and then some! It was very clean and had everything we possibly needed while visiting playa, from beach towels to bathroom supplies and all the kitchen appliances you could imagine. The cable tv worked great in both bedrooms and we even had hundreds of DVDs if that wasn't enough! The wifi powered three cell phones, a tablet and a laptop without slowing down. We also got as much filtered water as we wanted! The balcony was perfect for that morning cup of coffee while overlooking 26th street. The location was phenomenal and literally a hundred feet from 5th avenue but still in a more quiet part of town, away from the loud clubs so very peaceful! Lots of great restaurants within walking distance! Last thing I'll mention is that the owner, Wendy, was very responsive and helpful!

“Awesome Rooftop Condo in Perfect Playa location!” I had rented a condo one other time in Playa and I have to say the one thing that made this rental better was the personal response of the owner himself. Not only was the condo a great place but the owner made sure that the rental process was just as great. Ron was extremely helpful and supplied us with everything we needed to have the very best vacation experience. I would definitely rent Casa Dorothea again! The location of the condo is in the heart of Playa. Within walking distance to so many places including the Mega grocery store and Walmart. We had a private rooftop which is another huge asset. An awesome experience all around!

“Ultimate Relaxation in Paradise” What a beautiful villa and property. We had the most lovely, relaxing vacation here with all conveniences and more. From a swim in the pool in the morning to a short walk to the local beach in the afternoon, it really is breathtaking. We felt totally safe, whether walking or bike riding in the day or night. Just a short 15 minute walk into a very lovely little town with awesome restaurants and live music. For nature lovers, this place is unbelievable, beautiful birds, butterflies and animals we had never seen before, but was a huge part of our enjoyment living here. We had the best holiday ever!!!

“Highly recommended” We recently stayed at Holiday Penthouse condominium and it exceeded all of our expectation. It has modern furniture and tastefully decorated. Not to mentioned the private rooftop with lounge chairs, outdoor shower to cool down and a nice view of the ocean. The condo is centrally located in Playa del Carmen, just two blocks away from Mamitas beach and a block away from 5th Avenue where you will find restaurants, bars, shops and convenient stores. Myrna, the owner, was very helpful assisting us and responded to all our queries promptly. We're looking forward to come back again.

“Unique High-End Private Beachfront Escape” Casa Vela is a beautifully designed "beach house", with all the amenities and toys one would want for a Playa del Carmen getaway. It feels like you are in your own hotel. The dining area is a huge open deck with wide views of the beach and the jungle. Literally on the beach.
