We waited 3 hours to check in !

The management went into some sort of receivership while we were there, they cut off the Internet, saying it was down but really it was because of what was happening with the financial side. They made us wait for 3 hours to check in past check in time as they had not checked their emails for our booking. When we complained they said it was not their fault as they only had 4 cleaners, we were not the only ones that this happened to. The morning that we checked out, reception and the restaurant had been locked up and we had to check out at a table on the side of the building.

Nice Stay!

The location can't be better - right on the beach and only one block from the famous 5th Ave in Playa del Carmen. We enjoyed walking on the beach and checking out other hotels and resorts, as well as eating at a nice restaurant on 5th Ave. Our apartment is very clean and modern. And you can have a fantastic view of the swimming pool and the ocean from the balcony. Sitting there eating breakfast or relaxing is unbeatable experience! The only thing is the beautifully designed swimming pool is close after 10pm and it's dark at night. It would have been great if they had put in more lights so that we can have a drink by the pool or something. The property next door has live music almost every night at their bar and restaurant. Since there is not much to do at our hotel at night so we went there some times to have drinks.

Nice place, close to everything

I would not call this place necessarily a hotel. It is more like an apart-hotel. Great location, the condo unit we got was pretty much just like pictures. Everything worked fine, and I would strongly recommend it for travelers who do not mind who are looking to have a condo experience. The property is very well kept, and the staff was nice and professional. Small units (1 bedroom like the one we had) face 10th street, which can be a bit noisy. In the morning you will hear the oxygen tanks being loaded from trucks to the pavement. However in the evening you can hear the live music from the restaurant next door.

Luxury at reasonable prices

From the moment of our check-in, the staff was very attentive to our requests and needs (for minor problems). Our unit was exactly what we requested and the view was absolutely gorgeous from our balcony. Our AC unit was too good! A very nice pool is located seaside, in the middle of the complex. The grounds surrounding the pool were expertly manicured and provided privacy in sitting areas around the pool. There were plenty of chairs around the pool and on the beach. Poolside service was provided by Wicky's located within the complex (try the shrimp playa).

Nice condo-hotel room requires some maintenance.

This condo-hotel is located conveniently at the foot of the beach, with easy access to the famous Quinta Avenida strip. The hotel is generally in good condition. The room service was friendly. Our room, a three bedroom suite, was well furnished, comfortable beds and a kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils. The only problems with the suite was the two of the air conditioner were not working: the one in the living room and the one on the second floor interior balcony. Fortunately, the A/C units inside the bedrooms all works. However, we needed to keep all of them on at all times and our door open to keep the rest of the condo cool. Also, some of the electronics did not work, or were damaged. For example, the living room mounted flat TV had some lines vertically across the screen. The television in one of the rooms did not have a cable box and so it did not have programing. The ipod compatible boom box was broken. Also, the lobby staff was supposed to provide us with a code to the room's safe, but never did. Despite these issues, the service on the beach was good. The beach and location was great; away from the fishing boats. The staff set-out beach loungers and umbrellas and provided towels to patrons. The pool is big and clean. We did not eat at the condo-hotel's restaurant, called Wicky's; however, we compared menus to restaurants on the strip and found Wicky's to be more expensive.

Excellent location

The location and facilities were great. The only caveat is that they reserve the right to give you a room at a sister property across the street (Corto Maltes) further away from the pool and next to a busy street. Various businesses have early morning deliveries ranging from soft drink trucks to oxygen diving tanks, too much noise as early as 6 am. The noise won't let you sleep late. The top property (Encanto El Faro) is quoted a higher price online, if you reserve there but end up at the Corto Maltes property you will not receive a refund for the difference-this happened to us. Therefore, unless you can get confirmation that you will stay at Encanto El Faro, DON'T pay the extra cost. The apartments were impeccably clean, spacious and comfortable. Location is great (Other than the busy street noise!) because you'll be two blocks away from the nightclubs and a few feet away from the beach. There are two restaurants on property, both equally good. Zensi has excellent live music EVERYDAY, ranging from reggae to top 40 and classic rock. Can't beat it. You're also two blocks from 5th avenue (Quinta Avenida), again, the location is great.

Disappointment

We had stayed at the El Faro once before and had a good experience. This time, around the noon hour - the power was shut down to our room until 5:00 PM. We had $300.00 worth of groceries in our refrigerator. We were told it was an outside problem. It obviously was not - evidentally the hotel can control your power useage and if they think you are using too much - they turn it off. Then to top it off - a very large group of partiers came into the hotel and partied with a DJ until 2:30 in the morning. We contacted security at 9:30 PM and were told it would be shut down by 10:00 PM. At 11:00 PM - we again personally contacted security and were told there was nothing that could be done. Our entire unit was pounding with the sound of the music. I am positive we were not the only ones who notified security. There were several other families in our unit with small children. We had paid for 2 more nights but it was obvious the partying was going to continue thru the weekend, so we checked out and went to another hotel for our remaining 2 nights which cost us $920. Very disappointed - and will never go back.

Be careful which room you are assigned

We had 2 vastly different experiences during our stay. We were first assigned a suite in the building across Calle 10 that happened to sit right on top of a beach bar that had a live band until midnight 7 nights a week, followed by loud music and screaming until 5 am in the morning. Give me a break. With or without our 2 small children this was completely unacceptable. When we complained the next morning we were told that the bar had stayed within their decibel limit. Again, give me a break. Don't talk to me about decibels when my family spent an entire sleepless night listening to the drums and crooning of a 3rd rate rock cover band, and an unending bass beat and screams. After complaining a little more we were reassigned to a suite in the main complex on the 4th floor. It was very nice, quiet and relaxing. My only gripes about it was that the wifi did not work and the water pressure fluctuated and sometimes was almost nonexistent. Still, had we been assigned this room from the start my overall rating might be a 4. The beachfront view is awesome. The pool is nice, though my kids said it was too cold (in late Dec). The onsite restaurant is acceptable. When pressed, the staff was helpful. The rooms were roomy and clean. Potable water was provided in each room.

when we checked in they hound you about private residents, Our room was clean but our toilets did not flush, they fixed the problem pronto. the towel rack fell apart and toilet holder as well. the first day they kicked my kids out of the pool because someone else staying there reserved the pool for a photo shoot., ahhh. we are paying customers as well. two nights later they had a wedding party in the only restaurant in hotel. you had to eat outside on wet seats because it rained so we went on 5th ave.They tell you that there is washer and dryer but there is in the storage room. the dryer takes 2.5 hrs to dry, plus there staff uses it, the good thing is your on the beach, 5th ave is 50 meters away, staff are nice and rooms are clean.and check out is fast, the pool is nice but closes at sunset. drinks and food is expensive but 5ths close, over all not bad.

Encanto El Faro is a hidden gem

This is a great condo/hotel. Big suites for a reasonable price. Cheaper than most hotels for the number of people staying. And the location is just perfect. One block from 5th Ave and right on the beach. The only bad thing is the low water pressure. I learnt a lot about communicating when in a non-English speaking country. Most importantly, you need to be precise. I believe some of the problems the people who gave low ratings are probably from communication issues. I had A/C issues. The A/Cs in one of the rooms and living room were blowing out warm air. I told the receptionist "the A/C wasn't working" Saturday night and she said it'll be fixed on Sunday. It wasn't. I told a different receptionist Sunday night when we came back from our tour that "the A/C still wasn't working" and he said it'll be fixed Monday. It wasn't. Monday night it still wasn't fixed so I rephrased the problem. I told them that there was air blowing out but the air was warm. Tuesday, the problem was fixed. So I don't think it's a service issue but more a communication issue. But I can understand how some people get frustrated when they can't get a problem resolved. Everyone in the hotel was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely return to stay.
