Our unit, number 7208, is one of the most luxurious
beach-front condominiums at Xaman-Ha and is our personal home when we are in
Playa del Carmen. We have it furnished in an elegant Mexican style, but it
has required necessities like TVs, telephone, washer and dryer, high speed
wireless internet service, and has just had a major renovation with a new
kitchen, central air conditioning and a new satellite cable system. We have
central air conditioning (almost all other units in Xaman-Ha have wall units,
they are very noisy) and an ultra modern kitchen. Even though a couple of
other units have new kitchens, none have a dishwasher, garbage disposal,
microwave oven, stove top burners, and a regular built in oven, In addition,
the kitchen has granite counter tops and tile back splashes. Our unit is non-smoking, most units in
Playa del Carmen are not. The condominium is accented with crafts from local
artists that provide the perfect backdrop to beautiful ocean views and the
lights of Cozumel that can be seen from the furnished deck. The condominium
is located in the Xaman-Ha complex, within the quiet, sophisticated gated
Playacar Development (35 miles south of
Cancun)
in Playa del Carmen and is within 200 yards of the town border of Playa del
Carmen and the ferry pier to Cozumel
. The
beautiful white beaches of Playa del Carmen ( which they have finally rebuilt) stretch for miles and are perfect for private picnics, morning
jogs, or just a slow evening stroll. When taking a break from all the
available water sports - snorkeling, scuba, sailing etc., condominium
residents can play a round of golf at the world class Robert Von Hagge
designed golf course, enjoy a game of tennis, relax at this Playa del Carmen
country club or enjoy a massage at the Xaman-Ha Spa.
Rent our Playa
del Carmen Condo
Size: The unit sleeps 4
people. It has 2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms with utilities, maid services and
linens provided. Master suite has a king-sized bed, dressing area, and
separate area with shower/tub and toilet. Second bedroom has twin beds which
are not permanently affixed to the walls so they can be moved together. Additional
center hall bath. Combination kitchen, dining, and living room. Outside
balcony with lounge chair and additional table and 4 chairs.
Description: Our unit is on the
top (second) floor in the center of the complex facing the ocean. The levels
are ground, first and second. There are no elevators. There are only two
units on our floor. The person next door owns the rest of the floor so in is
extremely private. No one comes to the floor or passes by unless they are
coming to see you or the person next door. The views are spectacular. It's
quiet because no one is above you nor next to you. The unit also has
cathedral ceilings so it seems twice as large as the other units. We keep it
in first class condition by going down periodically and personally inspecting
it. We have two fresh water pools and a lovely beach. The pools are
interconnected and one-half of each pool is only 6 inches deep for small
children. There is a large Palapa to sit under to stay out of the sun. The
beach is sandy and goes down in depth very gradually. There are very few
waves and the water is crystal clear and a bluish /green in color. We do not
have dinning facilities to keep the residential feel of the complex but we do
have a pool bar. The unit has bottled water. The unit contains all the towels
and linens you need but additional beach towels are always welcome because
they seem to disappear. Our unit is fully equipped with a full sized
refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, complete kitchen, telephone, cable TV ,
wireless internet service, etc. Playa del Carmen has many shops, world class
restaurants and a pedestrian walkway-a great place to visit and sightsee but
not necessarily stay. Dive and snorkeling boats leave from the various
locations on the beach in Playa del Carmen.
Xaman-Ha
is the best located beach front condominium complex in Playacar or Playa del
Carmen. The all-inclusive hotels are a few miles down the beach and somewhat
isolated form Playa del Carmen. Fisherman's Village is a condo/hotel about a
mile down the beach from Xaman-Ha and of much different character and most
clients prefer Xaman-Ha to it. Cleaning and staff personnel are available to
handle all cleaning, repair and informational needs in English.

Comments from Guests:
"My
wife and I really fell in love with Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya.
Cancun can't hold a candle to it. Your place is absolutely beautiful. After
reading the guest book, you've probably heard every compliment possible about
the view, the beach, and your place. The girls in the office were very
helpful, as was everyone else in the complex. The closeness to the town was
also wonderful. Great new restaurants each night and great people watching.
My wife and I both said we felt more of the character of Mexico in 20 minutes
in Playa than we did in a full week in Cancun. We also rented a car and
visited a few secluded spots down the coast."
"I
have been very busy since our return from Playa del Carmen in the Riviera
Maya and have not had the opportunity to write to you about our stay.
We loved the condo. Beautiful view and peaceful surroundings.
Playa del Carmen is the perfect happy medium between the craziness of Cancun and the seclusion of Acumal. The local
people are friendly and helpful and there was just enough activity to keep us
from being bored without being crowded. We definitely plan on going
back and will hope to rent your condo again. In fact we have recently
recommended it to several friends. Your vacation rentals are fabulous.
Thanks again."
