This was our first time in Playa, and this place did not disappoint. In my opinion it’s the best on this stretch of beach. I would recommend to all my friends. I would give it more than 5 stars if that was possible. The infinity pool looking out to the ocean is dreamy. Absolutely loved it. Everyone that works there are so nice, n helpful. Getting a message at the pool area was so amazing I did it more the once. Would definitely stay again

Fabulous Property!
We stayed here for 3 days to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The condo was exactly like the pictures show. We were only two people but if you are bringing any more guests, there is a privacy curtain near the pull out couch which we thought was great if we had come with anyone else. Everything was perfect- check in and out was seamless and the staff at the front desk were so friendly. The place was clean and comfortable and the view was breathtaking. We also adhere to kosher dietary laws and this place was walking distance to some kosher restaurants. We would be happy to come here again and again!! Thank you!

Great condo, excellent location.
We had a great time at El Faro. The property was clean and safe. 24 hour security. Superb location. Stay off 5th Ave if you want to make any purchases as that area is a rip off. The saving the chair issue by the pool exists here, just like about everywhere else. The chair dance was entertaining to watch at 8:00am every morning from our ocean side deck. They are doing their best to clean up the sea weed. We felt safe walking everywhere. The police and national guard make themselves known and at no time did it feel unsafe. The food in the area was great. The condo was very comfy. Great king sized bed. Very nice bathrooms. Well appointed kitchen and there was plenty of clean drinking water. Giant TV with Netflix, Utube, Prime etc. The staff was kind and friendly.

Birthday vacation
This was our first time in the Cancun area. We were shocked at how humid it was there; uncomfortable humid. Fortunately we had an air conditioner that worked very well. The views from the balcony were amazing. The place was very clean and the bed and pillows were to our liking. Enough space for about 5 people if you are sleeping on the sofa in the living room. The person in charge of the pool was very attentive. Walmart was two blocks from condo. The only hiccup was the tv in the living room; we could not figure out how to watch a movie or regular channels (too many remote controls). We did watch movies on the bedroom tv but I would have prefer to use the gigantic tv in the living. Overall; I would recommend staying at this condo.

Perfect location
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at El Farro. The room is perfect for 2 people. The bed was comfortable and it was very quiet at night. Even though you are right next to Zenzi Beach Club. There is a convenience store in the building which was perfect to purchase beer and wine and Japanese peanuts. There is also a laundry room on the 1st level. Walking distance to 5th avenue where all the tourists restaurants and shopping, but I recommend going to 10th for more local authentic food. Walmart is a few minute walk. Don’t miss eating Taco’s Al Pastor at El Fargon. Rico’s Maquesita food truck for dessert. Street food is amazing! Ask the locals where to go for authentic food. On our last morning we at at the Baguette restaurant located near El Farro. It was amazing! If we had eaten there sooner we would have eaten there every morning. I definitely will stay at El Farro again!

Fabulous Stay at El Faro
This condo has a gorgeous infinity pool and is steps from the ocean. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the condo was clean and well appointed. Perfect for families with a full kitchen and walking distance to WalMart for groceries. Also great for an adults only vacay with clubs, bars and restaurants nearby. Walking distance to the ferry as well. Highly recommend! We will be back.

This is our 3rd time staying at El Faro Residences and we love it there! The location can't be beat! The condo is beautiful and sufficiently furnished with everything that we needed. The view from the balcony is incredible. The communication that we received from the owner before our stay was informative. The beach/ocean had a bit of a seaweed problem but they worked hard every morning to clean it up the best they could and the pool at the condo is huge with sufficient chairs so as unfortunate as it was that you couldn't get in the ocean, the pool was sufficient to cool you off on hot days and the private security guys were friendly and right on top of getting you a table and umbrella when you wanted one. Looking forward to a return trip sometime soon.

Fantastic Stay!!!
We absolutely loved our stay. The unit was exactly as pictured. The ocean view was spectacular. It’s in a perfect location to everything Playa has to offer. The front desk staff were very helpful. Opportunity for improvement would be a system to not allow people to claim the pool chairs early in AM and then leave them unattended for long periods. Overall, we’d love to return someday and would want Surf 308 again!!

We had a wonderful stay. The communication was Excellent. You had a great view of the ocean from the living room /kitchen and from laying in the bed.. which was very comfortable. The location was close to everything. The front desk arranged a rent car for us… it was delivered and picked up from the condo which was convenient. The only recommendation I have is, if you want to hang by the pool, get out there early. The same people would go daily and put their towels on most of the chairs to hold them until they went to the pool- usually after lunch. We will definitely be back!!

The apartment was exactly as advertised. It was directly on the ocean. Morning coffee and afternoon cocktails on the balcony were very enjoyable. It is next to a beach front restaurant that had very good food made more enjoyable by eating at a table on the beach with the waves lapping at your feet. Highly recommend this stay.

Fun on Zenzi Beach
The location is awesome. Right ON Zenzi beach. Lovely views from the balcony and the covered balcony is good for rainy or windy weather. Pool area is quiet and great. Access to beach is right there! 2 blocks from 5th Ave where all the bars and restaurants & stores are located. Very loud and wild, but so fun! And 8 blocks to the Ferry to Cozumel. We loved our day touring Cozumel! San Gervasio Mayan Ruins, Sky Reef Club were fantastic! Go on a calm day. The ferry really rocks and rolls if windy. So much to see and do! We were in the heart of Playa. All is walking distance or a quick cab ride away. We used the couch area in the condo for our company work/zoom calls. No need to use the pullout. Just a couple little issues that were bothersome. But not a deal breaker. Wearing the yellow El Faro wrist band every day made us a target for everyone selling something on 5th Ave. they all pretend they previously met us at El Faro- Beware! There is a musty smell coming from the A/C units. But they work really well, and the rooms were cool. Know that even if your room is cleaned you do not get fresh towels or sheets. And there are no kitchen towels. But paper towel and TP were provided. The workout room was well equipped. With full bathroom facilities too. We were pleasantly surprised to find washers and dryers on the first floor. You need to buy the tokens at the front desk. If we would have known in advance we would have packed a lot less . We always felt safe. And really enjoyed our 7 day stay of hot, sunny, humid weather. Now back to the frozen tundra….

Mostly good
We really loved the condo. The view of the beach was wonderful. Be sure to use the pool. The temperature was perfect. Even though there were clubs really close by, we couldn't hear them. That was a big selling point for us. The big downer was the quality of the mattress in the pull-out sofa bed. It was actually so bad that it was difficult to imagine where they found it. It was like a scene from a Home for the Holidays/Meet the Parents movie. Like, "this can't actually be real." But it was. So, you shouldn't believe the listing as far as how many it sleeps. You won't sleep on that. It's better to just sleep on the couch.
