And just 2 blocks down your street, you hit the beach at Coco Beach and beach clubs like Martina, Mandarino & Encanto This location couldn’t get any better!

This place is fantastic because everything you could need is just a short walk or drive to get to. You can walk 2 blocks to 5th Avenue and grab a coffee and have a nice stroll to see all the hustle and bustle and, of course, excellent people-watching.

You’ll have full, exclusive access to the condo and your patio.
The Neighborhood:
The condo is inside Luna Maya Condominios in a fantastic area at the northern end of La Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue). This area is lovely and a bit more chill but still close to all the action! Your experience offers:
- Two blocks to the famous 5th Avenue where you’ll find fantastic shops, restaurants, cafes, entertainment, and nightlife. Check out “the quaint 38th Street Stretch” (38th St. from 5th Ave to the beach). Considered one of the “prettiest and most romantic streets in Playa.”
- Nearby vibrant shopping malls like Quinta Alégria, Paseo del Carmen, and the shops at Calle Corazón with dozens of boutiques, international chains, and restaurants.
- The Select Super Chedraui grocery store is just 750 m | 0.5 mi (just about a 9-10 min walk from the condo) or head to the heart of downtown for the Walmart and Mega supermarkets, about a 5-minute drive from the condo.
- The beach is steps away with nearby beach clubs like Mandarino, Encanto & Martina.
Apart from that, here are some of our local restaurant recommendations:
- Salento (Italian) - 400 m | 0.2 mi - 1 block
- The Pitted Date (Gourmet Vegan) - 2 blocks
- Captain Sandwich or Que Huevos (Great for Breakfast/Brunch & Lunch) - 3 blocks
- Milos (Greek) - 2 blocks
- Chez Céline (French) downtown on 5th Ave at Calle 34 - 850 m | 0.5 mi
- El Fogón (Authentic Mexican taco place) - 1.7 km | 1.1 mi
Getting Around:
The condo is approximately 55 km | 34 mi from the Cancun International Airport (CUN) and is located in the Luna Maya Condo building.
There’s an assigned parking space on the premises if you arrive by car. When driving into town, you can park on the street but beware of the parking meters (10 am to 10 pm). Luckily, however, the complex is so centrally-located that you won’t really need a car. But you can also easily rent a bike or take a taxi or ‘colectivo’ (shared-ride vans) where you need to go.

Excellent Quick Get Away
A safe, clean, great location with good amenities.
We enjoyed our stay here as it was located right in the heart of beaches , shopping and restaurants. Just a 5 minute walk could get you to all 3 destinations. Taxi stand was very close as well as a pharmacy and convenient store The walk was very safe as well. Many tourists were roaming the streets. Love the amenities At the condominium
Condo was just as described. The property was very well maintained and felt very safe. We had everything we needed in the accommodation including a large jug of drinking water. The location is perfect! A short walk to Mamitas Beach and 5th Ave. My only recommendation would be to have a list posted in the accommodation of what should be done before checkout. I would definitely recommend Stella Rental properties and hope to stay again soon.
I think a 4.5 star would probably be more accurate 59 be honest. The host was very communicative and accommodated an early check in at no additional cost. The location is great, although they are doing construction on the building next door so there was jack hammering and concrete sawing every morning. The place had everything we needed but they are right when they say the internet is slower, although I was able to accomplish all the work I needed to get done so it didn’t affect me. The major issue I had was the water pressure, it was so low that showers took forever and I’m not a person that even needs a long shower. Otherwise very happy based on the cost.
Super Easy to find, And Checking super easy, But Gladys Was very nice and happy to come meet us and show us the condo. Outstanding location, For people wondering about safety, a local police Station is next door. We enjoyed saying hello to the Police Every morning Night etc. Good people. Gladys was Very knowledgeable about the condo and location and Anything we asked she knew the answers.the condo is within walking distance of everything,yet very private and quiet. Beds were comfy and we had plenty of room and storage and equipment for cooking too. We ate our breakfast at the condo every morning. Enough because I miss it now . I write my reviews well after the Vacation & bills are paid. We had Zero Problems with the entire process and Stay at this Condo and Gladys Is Super Nice but a Professional at her job! Thanks Gladys, hope to see you again soon.
My family of four really enjoyed our time in Playa del Carmen! The layout of the place was ideal for us to eat together, hang out together but also have our own rooms and bathrooms. The air conditioning worked fabulously which was essential after some very hot and humid days. And it’s an easy walk to the beach and Avenida Quinta for food. I highly recommend the Argentinian place on the corner of Avenida 5 and Calle CTM just a few short blocks away, delicious and very kind staff!
The biggest challenge we faces was the toilet that only worked about 50% of the time. It took a couple of asks to get it fixed and then it ran very noisily the rest of our time. We coped by shutting the door but still would have preferred for it to be fixed fully. Also, it would be nice to have some basic kitchen items like filters for the coffee machine, cooking oil, spices and sugar on hand.
Overall, we were very pleased with our time in La Playa and appreciative of our hosts!
The place was as beautiful as presented on the site.. one minor problem with the washer that was immediately fixed by the property management... Simply waiting for my cleaning deposit to be returned. thank you... We will be returning again in early March and will want to book the same VRBO
Our month at this condo in Playa del Carmen was great. There were one or two small glitches which the property managers dealt with quickly. We have never dealt with a more professional management co, kudos.
I would gladly recommend this unit to others.
