5th Ave & 28th St - Perfect Location in Playa del Carmen

Tropical, gated property called Eclipse Condos with charming Mexican condo right at amazing 5th avenue and 2 blocks to Mamitas Beach, the best beach in Playa del Carmen. Professionally remodeled and decorated, bright new furniture and decor to feel like "home" in Mexico. Our condo/apartment is 1100 sq ft with 10-foot ceilings, 2nd floor, in a building of only 9 apartments. Private, well-appointed and great for a weekend or a lifetime. There is private, tropical balcony overlooking a pool, and a small swimming pool in our complex which is actually a cenote, and you always feel safe to walk along 5th avenue or play at gorgeous Club Mamitas where for a few dollars you can rent a beach umbrella and lounge chairs for a day while waiters bring you food and drinks and you can listen to the music played all afternoon for beach-goers and sea swimmers. The water and beach are gorgeous, sand is soft and white and clean, water is calm and clear, and the environment is just breathtaking for fun, romance, or just relaxing. Water sport rentals are steps away. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with private full bathroom, and the second bedroom has two twin beds which can convert to a king, with second brightly tiled full bathroom. Kitchen is complete, washer/dryer included, all you could need to set up housekeeping, or who cares, just stroll out the door to find amazing food up and down 5th Avenue! Dining room seats 6 and all plates, flatware, etc are provided. Living room has 2 new, full-leather couches. Wireless internet, big-screen TV in the living room plus TV in the master bedroom, with cable and guest Netflix account available, all for free. We have a great bi-lingual property manager on-site most of the time (she's accessible by phone when she's not on-site), a full-time maintenance man, professional housekeepers, and a 24-hr security guard posted right outside our gate at the hotel right across the street. No worries! A/C is excellent and ceiling fans in all rooms. Bottom line: you are steps away from amazing fun and world-class food, beaches and shopping, yet your condo is quiet at night and you can sleep peacefully! One of my favorite things: you are 1/2 block from the biggest, most beautiful Starbucks I've ever seen, and just steps from amazing restaurants - Italian, Mayan, French, and of course authentic Mexican. For fun, you can walk down 5th Avenue to the center of town and take a short ferry to Cozumel island and spend the day there. Our condo has free parking for your rental car, and we normally do rent a car when we come, though most days we walk everywhere.
During your stay at this condo building, you're just a quick walk from Playa del Carmen Main Beach. The condo offers a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

We loved our stay
The property was accurately described and so close to the beach it was superb… all amenities were super close and we loved the proximity to the grocery stores and Walmart…if you are looking for a pool, this one is only for a dip and cooling off after the beach….not a lap pool. Wifi was great and the kitchen well equipped. Would stay again. We stayed for 30 days.

Heart of the action!
The pictures don’t do it justice! This place is SO MUCH MORE prettier than expected 😍 and it feels like a home.. we stayed at 3 different places during our vaca and this was the only place that was comfortable enough that you could just flop down after a long day of shopping or beaching and flip on the tv just like ya do at home. It was great! And, even though you are literally right spack in the middle of all the action, it was quite! I couldn’t believe it, I mean of course there’s music that you can hear but it wasn’t bothersome at all, I actually didn’t notice it until my bf said he wanted to go find it, lol. Check in & out was effortless and the property manager is an absolute sweetheart, not to mention the owners are the kindest people ever! I just can’t say enough great stuff about this place, there’s gelato right across the street, you have to try the lime basil 😁 amazing, and the beach is so close, I spent most of my time shopping but there’s just so much to see and do and you are right there in it, lol. Oh yeah and they had a huge jug of drinking water in the kitchen which was really nice, everything was spotless and there’s even a little balcony in the master bedroom that I didn’t even know about until we got there… All in all this place is the perfect place to stay for anyone, family, friends, whatever it was GREAT!!!!!

Playa del Carmen is fun and with this apartment you are in the heart of the action but off 5th avenue so not too loud when trying to sleep. Pool is small but refreshing, beach is 5 minute walk. Great for group on a budget. Apartment had two bathrooms which was key. There are stairs to the apartment as it is on second level. Thanks!

Better than Imagined
It felt like a home away from home. Clean unit with everything you need to make meals. 5 minute walk to the beach, 2 minutes to Starbucks and restaurants on 5th Ave. 10 minutes to Super Chedraui. I stayed alone but felt safe here. There is a police presence as they patrolled on foot or by car. My only recommendation is to provide clearer check-in information. I was tired after traveling all day and the PM gave cryptic messages on how to get the keys. Also the pool attracts mosquitoes so invest in spray. They will greet you on the stairs and will eventually end up in the unit. I had to sleep with spray on to avoid waking up with bites.

Perfect location
The condo was very clean and satisfied our every need. The location was a 5 minute walk to the beach, 5-10 minute walk to a variety of restaurants and shops, and a 20 minute walk to the ferry to go over to Cozumel. The people are friendly and we felt safe. Ara, the property manager was very kind and helpful. She picked up a few things for us before we arrived, provided us with places to eat, which were affordable and very good and she was there when ever we needed her. Thank you for helping make this 3 week vacation fun and relaxing.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at eclipse condo. perfect location mins from the beach and steps to 5th street. Starbucks every morning and a short walk towards 32 street for the best breakfast: scram eggs, ham, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes and sweet crepes. After a day at the beach, back to the hideaway, dip in the alkaline cool pool to rinse off the day. Coming back and this is my place to stay! Perfect!!! Dave

Vacation
The apartment is great for what you pay, excellent location, right off 5th St. The only disappointment I got is that when we get to the apartment the WiFi wasn't working, and my son have to do some school work, and got fix 2 days later, probably because it was on a peak season in Mexico the manager never respond to calls or emails, so communication was very bad, the owner Julie is very nice and try her best however she doesn't provide much information on the apartment rules, we didn't know what to do with the garbage, there was no dumpsters in the complex, we figured out 3 days later that you have to put it out on the street, at least is what we did, other then that, is great we really enjoy our time in Playa del Carmen

Beautiful condo, wonderful location!
The condo was the perfect size for our family of four which consisted of my husband, and two teen girls, 15&17. The location was everything! We didn't need to rent a car because everything was basically within walking distance. Check-in was also pretty smooth. However, if you're bringing luggage, take note that there is no elevator and the condo is on the 4th floor, and the staircase is winding and narrow. So pack light! My only complaint is that on the third day, we had to toss one tissue roll back and forth between our bathroom and our daughters'. The rolls that were in each of the bathrooms at check-in were not full new rolls. and there was only one extra roll of toilet paper in one bathroom only. When I texted the property manager for extra toilet paper, she replied back 4 hours later saying we need to buy our own paper, and then had the audacity to tell me to let her know if we are leaving early on checkout day. Otherwise, this was a great condo. I would definitely stay here again!

I am not sure why people are giving good review for this property! Very misleading description!
The listing states that there is a pool: it is a very small "pool" in a very dark garden with nowhere to sit. The place itself is clean and big that is the only positive part. The worst part is that it is SUPER dark, it is like a dungeon! There are walls in front of every window! It states that there is a balcony well again there is a big window right in front of it! I felt claustrophobic in this place and had to turn all the lights on at all times when I was there. So much for being at the beach and seeing the sun! Another thing is the super narrow stairs so if you have a big suite case good luck! The owners need update the misleading description they have on the site as to the balcony and the pool etc... the only good thing is the location but beach itself is one of the most expensive one for chairs etc. in playa... Trust me you can find better than this place.... Super disappointed!

Perfect for our little family!
Wow, super stoked we found this place! It’s not even a block off 5th Ave (busy and fun walking street) and the beach was only blocks away. We were there everyday enjoying the sun and playing in the waves. We tried a bunch of restaurants around us, one of our favorites was Pik Nik on 10th and 26th. We walked to the mega and got groceries, so we were set on making breakfast and lunch at the casa. There’s a little park down the street that we play soccer with our kid at. It’s dirt, but we loved it! The bed is comfy. We unpacked all our stuff into the closets as we were there for 9days, just worked great! Showers are nice and hot! We did Landry as needed. We will be back!! Super safe and super perfecto!! Gracies Araclie (property manager! Thank you Julie!!!

Great time enjoying Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Tulum.
Nice two bedroom condo, great a/c & refreshing pool. Neighborhood is safe. Food on 5th Ave is excellent. Beaches of Tulum our favorite. Araceli (manager)is very friendly & helpful. If you enjoy the ruins we found it best to rent (Avis on the corner) a car & do the ruins on our own. Cabs, "Colectivo" & buses were all good.

Very nice condo. Prime location!
We've been traveling to the Riviera Maya area for more than 25 years, and Playa Del Carmen is among our favorite beach towns. And staying in Julie's beautiful, well-appointed, and very well cared for condo was a delight! The unit itself is part of a very small condo property of only 7 units, perfectly located between famed 5th Avenue and Playa Mamita's. We usually rent a car when we come down so we can venture out of Playa and explore other beach towns. This time however, we really wanted to just 'hang out,' so we did not rent a car and walked everywhere! The unit is the perfect size, beautifully decorated, and I absolutely loved the high ceilings! The layout is also perfect for small families like ours. The condo is very nicely updated, clean, and well-appointed. There is plenty of kitchen gear, a perfect amount of bathroom and beach towels, nearly new washer and dryer, and great remote-controlled air conditioning units in every room. All of the furniture -- from the leather sofas to the dining room chairs to the beds -- was comfortable. But most importantly the owner Julie and the property manager Ara were such a pleasure. Both were incredibly friendly, responsive, informative, and super organized (which is a huge plus for me, because I'm sort of an organizational nut!). Exterior features of the property include a very, very small pool that didn't see much use. But because we're beach lovers, we rarely use the pools at the properties we stay at, so this was not a problem for us. I should note that this unit is on the 2nd floor, and the stairs can be a bit precarious. They're narrow and somewhat uneven, and I joked with my husband that it felt like we were climbing a treehouse every time we went up. And one other note, there is construction going on directly behind this development, and therefore there is not much of a view from the master bedroom balcony. The construction work generally begins promptly at 8:30AM and ends at dusk, but since we spent most of our days away from the unit and out on the beaches, we generally had no issue with construction noise. By nightfall, all was quiet (with the exception of the occasional late-night laughter from vacationers at a nearby development, but that's what vacations are for!). Overall, this was a wonderful condo in a prime location for a fantastic price! And our thanks go to Julie, and especially Ara, who made our stay that much more special by being so helpful and kind.

Nice property close to almost everything
First it was easy and quick to communicate with the property owners which I very much appreciated. I had an issue contacting the property manager but the owner quickly replied and had it sorted. When we arrived at the property it was much closer to the main strip then I first realized. I was concerned at first but was surprised as it was still very quiet. We are early to bed types and never had an issue with noise. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The pool though is not very usable in my opinion as it is in the shade, but it works nice to cool your feet after a long day. Overall I would recommend the property.

Great stay in Playa
We recently stayed at Eclipse Condo # 5. Julie, the owner, was always easy to contact and quick to reply to e mails. The condo was easy to find and the self check in was great. Ara, the property manager, was very helpful and reliable, as was Nico, the property caretaker. The location was perfect for accessing 5th Ave., Maminas Beach Club, restaurants, and shopping. The condo is close to Mega and Wal-Mart for larger shops. Unfortunately, the view of a tropical court yard from the back balcony, mentioned in some reviews, was no longer there. It has been torn down to make way for a new development. All in all, the condo was comfortable and safe. It was nice to come back to a quiet space after a day at the beach. Kathy Toronto, Canada

Very easy to work with
Great place to stay overall. Property manager was great and helpful. Only 2 drawbacks(and these are relatively minimal)...1. the rooftop area is only for the penthouse suite. 2. If the beach is what you are going for mamitas beach is really crowded where the access is. Would be better off walking down to Ave. CTM for beach access and enjoyment. Otherwise everyone was great and the space was very sweet
