We could only imagine how lovely the property would be with the waterfalls. It was a wonderful stay and we could escape the craziness of 5th avenue once we entered the condo. We will definitely stay here again.

Easy to check in, great communication with our hosts, the concierge service was wonderful for scheduling our Covid test prior to departure. The whole process was so smooth and made our vacation relaxing and pleasant. The spot was perfect and great location, close to everything but just far enough away from the noisy bars.

Wonderful Stay!

Our family of four visited during Spring Break and had a wonderful time at the condo. The location was very convenient because it was walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. Our two teenagers loved the pool, the workout facility, and the local bakery next door. Every morning they worked out and went to the bakery for some of the best food we had during our stay. Our condo was also clean, and the amenities were top notch. We hope to back again someday.

What a beautiful condo! We were 4 women celebrating a 40th birthday. The apartment was clean, cool, had great water pressure, and very comfortable beds. Very close to the downtown touristy area and the water, but also an easy walk to the quieter parts of town. The ocean was not swimmable due to the sargasso, but the pool was nice. The pool was the same temperature as the hot tub (very very warm) but I'm not sure if it was heated or if the sun just got it that toasty. Still, a lush and beautiful property and we would stay again! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Comfortable and beautiful stay

Porto Playa was a home away from home with modern and conventional amenities. I loved the natural elements in spaces especially the bathrooms. The location was incredible for walking the beach and exploring the best of Playa Del Carmen. It was nestled in a cute area with trees, tropical plants, passerbys, ocean breezes, and sounds of birds. The Gym was a great amenity that we used as well as the spa treatments. I even did my own daily yoga practice on the rooftop terrace! Gustavo and the crew were very helpful and friendly, and they let me see a couple of spaces so that I could choose the one I resonated with. I highly recommend staying here!

A fantastic condo w/ wonderful owners!

Staying at this property was like taking our very own comfy home to a new beautiful location. Actually, that's not exactly the truth: for us New York City dwellers, staying here was definitely an upgrade in housing since or vacation home was more spacious, modern, well maintained, and all-around more comfortable than our NYC home ever could be! Add to that daily housekeeping, delicious breakfasts, amazingly nice and KIND employees, and best of all, a breathtaking setting and scenery... definitely an upgrade on "home sweet home." We could not recommend this condo any more strongly! (Other condos in the property could possibly be just as nice, but corresponding with the owners of this specific condo also was a pleasantly easy and stress free experience.)

Awesome Place to stay !!!!!!!!!!! The best in Playa!!!!

Returned again to stay at Porto Playa....never disappointed!!!! The property is beautiful, filled with lush tropical palms and flowering plants. The pool feels so refreshing during the day and the water cascading down the wall lulls you to sleep at night. The condo is spotless and the beds very comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful..whether to help you with directions or assisting you in your return flight info. Porto Playa is perfectly located, a block to the beach or a block to 5th Avenue !!!! Always something to do . The restaurant Plank had the best brunch, complete with a seafood tower that was to die for! We also enjoyed the service at the Indigo Beach Club: great food and a great beach. The restaurants on 5th are better then the ones at home and less expensive. Can't wait to return again. I would highly recommend Porto Playa to anyone traveling to Playa Del Carmen !!!
