Magia is 1 block from world famous 5th Avenue, Playa del Carmen's main street. La Quinta, as it is also called, runs parallel to the shore and is a pedestrian walkway for almost 3 miles. The avenue is lined with an assortment of restaurants, shops, bars, making it one of the best nightlife spots in the Mexico. As Frommer’s says, "it seems as if everyone in town is out strolling along La Quinta until midnight." You’ll find everything from Mexican, French, and Italian restaurants (with Italian chefs), Starbucks, and Haagen Daz a Nike store, to souvenir shops.
Major supermarkets are a quick 5 block walk (take a cab back for a few pesos or dollars) that have everything you need to stock the condo.
Playa del Carmen is the major city in the Riviera Maya, a 120 km shore line with beautiful landscape and beaches. This area, stretching from Puerto Morelos through Carrillo Puerto (in the heart of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve) to Punta Allen, is full of attractions including snorkeling, Mayan ruins, underground rivers, cenotes and more. Playa del Secreto, Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Puerto Aventuras, Aktun Chen grottoes, Xel-Ha and Tulum are some of the places where you can find Mayan ceremonial centers on the seashore, local biodiversity and a variety of water sports in the world's second largest coral reef. Once home to small fishing villages, the Riviera Maya coastline has since been developed into a mix of ancient culture, beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, fine dining, nightlife, spa retreats, shopping, yoga and golf.
Situated right in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen is the region’s top destination for shopping, dining and nightlife. Foodies will find numerous fine dining options, mixed with numerous inexpensive restaurants with fabulous food.
Playa del Carmen serves as an ideal base for exploring the rest of the Riviera Maya

Great place and great location.

The first thing I loved about this condo is the organization and professionalism of the staff! They are very friendly and the check in process was stress free! The condo is beautiful, clean and well appointed. We love having the cleaning service option and the amenities are more like what you’d expect at a hotel. I expected a lot of club noise but there wasn’t much. A few loud people leaving clubs on the weekend but nothing like I was expecting that close to 5th. No beach for the condo itself but we walked down to ASI at El Taj to sit on the beach and order drinks. Fun seeing the fishing boats come in with their haul! I highly recommend Magia beachside and will be back!

Kudos to Daniel for helping us book a driver. We stayed 2 weeks in the unit and enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. Housekeeping was great.

Pros - A welcome note and hostess gifts of wine and tequila greeted us at the condo. The pictures used to advertise this property are accurate. The kitchen is FULLY equipped and has everything that someone who enjoys cooking would need. There is a water dispenser, so you really don't need to buy bottled water. There is also daily housekeeping. You can opt to have housekeeping clean daily, change out your towels, or not clean at all. The beds are very comfortable. There is a large balcony with comfy seating off of the kitchen that overlooks the pool. There are actually two large living areas in the condo that you will notice as soon as you enter the condo. One area has a sectional with a television. The other living room area has two dark blue couches that sit opposite of each other. There is an apartment size washing machine and dryer. Beach towels and pool towels are provided. The unit has AC. It is close to 5th Avenue. Now for the cons. We were told in advance that we had to check-in at another location, but it was still inconvenient. When we arrived I was given the front desk's WhatsApp number so that I could communicate any needs or concerns that I had, but the front desk did not always answer when I called or text. We were given a bag of white towels/told to only use white towels at the pool. We were also given beach towels w/ brown stripes & told to use them at the beach. My adult son mistakenly took a brown stripe beach towel to the pool and was reprimanded by security, asked to leave, and return with a white towel. While I am on the issue of towels, we were a party of 5 and throughout our visit when towels were refreshed, housekeeping would only provide us with 4 sets of towels. For additional towels, we had to call the front desk that was located in another condo (Porto Playa). We NEVER visited the beach in Playa del Carmen, because of the seaweed. It stunk like crazy and the water was murky, not turquoise as I expected -not the owner's fault, but definitely VERY disappointing as it was our first visit to Mexico ever. As first time visitors, it would have been courteous to be informed that the beach would not be enjoyable. Informed by Lauren a couple days before our arrival. We chose Playa del Carmen for the beach, not the pool. Too much Noise from partygoers made it hard to sleep at night and workers working on another condo in the building awaken us in the morning. The elevator broke our last three days.
