Mixteca 3 by Blueplaya, 1 block from beach

This location is not for everyone. As it’s located near two bars that very loud with live music everyday. Therefore, if you do have a sensitivity to noise or you are a light sleeper, this wouldn’t be the location for you. However, this location was perfect for me to have a vacation with my family. As it’s right nearby all the best restaurants, shopping and attractions all around in Playa Del Carmen. The accommodations and the apartment were clean, but outdated, so don’t expect luxury. It had everything that we needed. It was a perfect place for our service dog to move around. The pool and small garden is always kept clean and is awesome to just sit around and enjoy nature. Our concierge Emiliano was very attentive provided restaurant accommodation, and took care of out issues with professionalism and care. If you have pets and like to be nearby the main action on 5th ave, it’s a great place to stay.

Comfortable bed, well supplied kitchen, and if you're working remotely the circular nook works great if you drag the kitchen table in there (which leaves the counter and stools still for eating at). There is obviously some noise since it's spitting distance of the bars on Quinta so bring noise canceling headphones (but it's not too bad; the windows are pretty well insulated). There is limited direct natural light (windows facing south fronted by trees or other buildings, bedroom faces north with only blackout curtains so you have to choose between privacy and natural light), which is a pro in that the apartment stays cooler than outside, but a con if you like natural light to pour in. Hot water boiler a bit on the small side. Host is responsive, wifi had at most one or two minor blips that were fixed with a router restart, a/c works great if you need it but I got by more than well enough with the ceiling fans.

buen lugar pero ruidoso
