Sunset Fishermens Resort & Spa Beachfront Playa del Carmen

Communication with Lynn was great. Playacar is a nice neighborhood.

Such a relaxing 10 days. The condo was clean and in a perfect location. The view can’t be beat. We spent much of the time on the balcony drinking coffee in the morning or having cocktails in the evening. Had fun on the beach and at the pool. Staff is always attentive and friendly. It’s a 15-20 minute walk to town where there is plenty to do and see. We’ll be back.

We enjoyed our stay. The view from the balcony and living room is stunning. The condo is comfortable, kitchen well stocked and filtered water provided. One thing to know about Sunset Fisherman is that it is a 20 minute walk to Playa Del Carmen through a nice neighborhood. Taxi was about $10 - $15 to town. There are not any restaurants outside of the complex. We ate several nights at the restaurant downstairs and the food was ok. We felt like the convenience was worth it. The snack bar was a good choice for lunch. We did not do the all inclusive plan. We really enjoyed the pool. The water was a little warm with the May heat and would benefit from more shade. The beach had a great deal of sargassum which did not get cleaned up like other places. One thing that stood out was that being out of town meant it was quieter, there were no folks trying to sell us stuff at the beach and it felt very safe. Playa Del Carmen is very busy, the guys on 5th Avenue are constantly trying to trick you into coming into their stores. The beaches in Playa are sadly ruined with sargassum. We were very happy to be out of town a bit. A few things to be aware of - this rental is under the condo program and you are treated a little differently than the 'members.' You are able to charge food and drinks to your account by wearing a poor quality paper wristband. They put a $8,000 peso hold on your card.

This is a hidden gem in a safe and very nice neighborhood. I don’t recommend the all inclusive but going to the grocery store and cooking in the unit and enjoying the many good restaurants a few minutes taxi away. Lynn’s unit has all the extra’s in the kitchen and it’s a very comfortable stay. The pull out was perfect for my son and it’s nice having the extra half bath. The views are spectacular .This is my second stay in Lynn’s unit, and will be back again!
