Casa Mar

Great location close to major supermarket and the mini-bus terminal to go to Tulum and Coba. Quiet area away from party crowd. Shared private garden.

Kitchen facilities were super basic with portable cooktop that struggled to boil water (which was necessary as can't drink or wash dishes in tap water).

The privacy of the room and toilet, it was clean too

Location is good but you need to walk to get to places

I loved the room, it was the best I've stayed at in Playa Del Carmen. It was definitely a room for one person, single bed, but also a couch. They had free wine and water waiting in the room. It was quiet and a main property door key then a outdoor door with another key. It was very safe, but I didn't feel the area wasn't safe. It's better to feel so secure anywhere you stay. I will return to the property my next visit.

The room didn't have enough light as I like a lot of light, no outdoor light, but that made it more private and secure. The location was a bit of a walk from the main areas, but I don't mind walking. If you want to be in the middle of everything with all the loud music, this isn't for you. If you don't like walking, you won't want to stay here.

i liked the location of the property. very close to the ADO bus station so I could walk there on arrival from the airport transfer bus the place is in a quiet neighbourhood so you sleep peacefully at night - 10-15 minutes walking from the beach and very close to a huge supermarket. lots of local pleases to eat close by too. the place feels very safe and secure - there is a main gate to go through and then you are inside a private little complex with keys to your front door. i liked the cupboard also had a lock on it. the host was very responsive and helpful and had a sweet family that I think live in the same building. they allowed me to check out later which was very helpful and kind. the bed was comfortable and there was AC and a fan and there is Netflix on the TV - the wifi was strong enough for me to work remotely too lots of towels were provided it’s good value for money

there is only one stove top so you can only heat one pan at a time. - you can’t really prepare a proper meal unless you want to use the microwave BUT I don’t use microwaves: I like to cook the old fashioned way. there could be more utensils like a vegetable peeler and a wine/bottle opener. the host should provide a broom/dust pan and maybe some washing up liquid so it’s easier for guests to clean up and keep things tidy - I probably could have asked for one but kept forgetting the room is VERY dark. it has no windows that let in daylight because it’s inside a sort of compound. i didn’t want to spend much time inside because I found it a bit depressing. if they could create a skylight it would be great. the water pressure is a bit low but I think it’s a local area issue
