AMAZING APARTMENT IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN! Blue Ángel

5.0 out of 10, (2)
"We loved staying at the Blue Angel. It was very Central. Close to Restaurants, the Beach,5th Avenue. It is a small, Rustic, Mexican style apartment. We used outdoor patio, always! It has cutlery, pots, pans, we cooked a lot! It was just the two of us! You have to climb stairs to get to apartment. We love Susan, she was our cleaning lady, she gave us fresh towels, changed sheets for us and cleaned apartment when asked. If you are wanting to be pampered, go to a Resort. But we loved staying there....

"The staff was very attentive and cordial. Having housekeeping and pool service is usually a perk you don’t get with other vacation rentals. It was an added perk to our stay. The house is wonderfully clean and modern. The beach is a small walk two or three houses down the neighborhood and can be seen from the house. "
