Syrena Studio Living # 601

Just a short distance from the sea, this smoke-free apartment lets you experience it all. Central Square is just steps away and Playa del Carmen Main Beach is within an easy 10-minute walk, so leave your car at the property, which offers covered onsite parking.

After you return to this 450-sq-ft apartment, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

A living room, a sofa bed, a BBQ grill, and a safe are featured at this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
