About this property

Great Location - Just steps from Mamitas Beach and Fifth Avenue ~ Special Rates

Our Condo Buena Vida at Las Olas is in the perfect location for a vacation get-a-way; set between Playa del Carmen’s most famous beach and vibrant international sidewalk scene. A mere half block from Las Olas, Playa’s Fifth Avenue pedestrian promenade beckons with relaxed cafes and gourmet restaurants, exclusive lounges, and al fresco bars, intriguing boutiques and local purveyors of all types and variety. It is also only 200 meters from the Caribbean beach. Relax at Mamitas Beach Club or Kool's Club - the most popular and hip beaches in Playa del Carmen. Swim in the beautiful warm Caribbean water and enjoy the view. If a swimming pool is more to your liking, guests of Las Olas get a 100 peso discount to rent a lounge and umbrella for the day and use of the pool at Kool's Beach Club. Even better, the fee goes toward your food and drinks! When you tire of the sun, your Las Olas home is only a few minutes away. Our guests also get a discount to spend the day at Mamitas Beach club. Pool, sand and the Caribbean - the perfect combination.
A further, more private option is to visit the roof-top pool and spa next door at The Reef Hotel. For 300 pesos, you have access to everything including infinity pool, towels, showers, hot tubs, gym and restaurant, and the cost goes toward food and beverage. The view is spectacular!
Condo Buena Vida has 1150 square feet of living space with unusually high 12 foot ceilings. Our condo is spacious and a rare find in Playa del Carmen. Tile floor extends onto the private outdoor terrace where one can dine and relax in the fresh breeze from the ocean. It is fully furnished with two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms each with King Beds, recently upgraded full bathrooms and walk-in tiled showers. You will also find a fully equipped chef's kitchen with granite counter tops, a separate laundry room, original paintings and many other fine details to provide quality and international style. Even the terrace is furnished for outdoor comfort and dining. Condo Buena Vida is safe and secure on the second floor of Las Olas with a full time security guard and a property manager to look after all your needs.
Playa Del Carmen is a vibrant growing community. This is your chance to stay in a fully equipped condo close to the beach and all the amenities in a prime location. Blessed with perennially sunny skies and a mild climate, Playa prides itself on a relaxing open-air, pedestrian lifestyle. It’s a place to recharge your batteries, find your adventurous side or spend an afternoon happily exploring the finer points of doing absolutely nothing at all. Playa provides a vibrant variety of natural and multicultural experiences any time of year. When the sun rises over the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean it all comes to life. First-rate golf, esteemed spas, fine outdoors dining and an internationally acclaimed nightlife – the options of experiencing Playa Del Carmen are truly limitless.
If you have any questions at all, please contact the host.

Nice condo with great location between 5th and the beach
Communication with the owners was easy and they quickly responded. Locating and getting into the unit was easy, and as described. The unit was immaculately clean, which was greatly appreciated. My friend and I liked the location, but the music from the two nightclubs just a few steps from the building was over the top loud, one night until 3 a.m, on other nights they quit about 1:00. Double ear pugs worked fairly well for a good nights sleep. The first bedroom was very lit up by a streetlight, so bring an eye mask, too. The unit’s kitchen had everything needed to cook meals except some oil/spray. I was never able to locate the hair dryer which was listed as present, but no big deal. I used the washer/dryer, and they worked well; I met my husband later for another week, so having the W/D was a nice amenity. The balcony was fun for people watching and enjoying the cool mornings. There are a couple pharmacies and a 7/11 just steps from the building, and they carry all the things you might need or forgot.

Fantastic vacation spot
Everything was wonderful during our two week stay at Las Olas! Ir is very close to two bars with loud music, but the bedrooms were reasonably quiet for sleep. We love to "people watch", so the balcony views entertained us.. whenever we felt like a diversion from the TV, etc. Close to the beach and about two blocks from Chedraui Super store! Thank you so much for an incredible stay! ..we hated to leave..

We had a wonderful time! The location is great! The well-equipped condo is minutes from a beautiful beach and 5th Avenue. There is an excellent grocery store nearby, as well as many restaurants and live entertainment options. We especially enjoyed the spacious balcony and having access to beach chairs and an umbrella. There was good communication with the host and the property manager. The area around the condo felt very safe. It was an easy walk to the ADO bus terminal that has a direct bus to the airport (for 250 pesos). A great experience overall!

About the host

Hosted by Ross Goodwin

Host profile image
My wife Lori and I have searched for the perfect place to own in the sun and near the water. We have traveled to Panama, Belize and Ecuador and finally chose this spot on the Mayan Riviera. What attracted us is the very friendly people, inexpensive living, amazing weather and safe neighborhood. The perfect place to escape the Canadian winter.

Why they chose this property

Las Olas means 'The Waves' in Spanish and we named our Condo #207 "Buena Vida" meaning 'The Good Life'! This condominium building is appropriately named, since it is literally steps from the turquoise Caribbean Sea and glorious white sand beaches for which Playa del Carmen is justly famous. Solidly built and with charming exterior design features like the winding tree pillars, these condos combine the best of Mexican design, like colorful tile, with clean, contemporary furnishings to create a harmonious, upscale experience. The condo is continuously being upgraded with Tzalam (Caribbean Walnut) furniture, king size beds, vanities and doors.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location!!
Not only is our condo at Las Olas conveniently located close to the beach, it is also only a few steps from the famous Fifth Avenue. Known by locals as La Quinta Avenida, it's where you can enjoy strolling along the cobblestone pedestrian walkway and find great shopping and an array of fine restaurants and fun bars. It is also only a 10 minute walk to 2 huge Superstores (Mega and Wal-Mart) where you can purchase a huge variety of food and beverages. For all the day to day and evening activities, a car is not necessary.
Many potential guests ask about a pool. Both Mamitas Beach Club and Kool's Beach Club just a short way down the road have very nice swimming pools that can be used by families and children for the inexpensive cost of a lounge chair and umbrella. The Reef Hotel across the road has a fabulous roof-top pool, hot tubs, spa, gym and restaurant that welcomes guests of Las Olas for a small charge which goes toward food and drink. The view is great and the perfect location to get that tan in a more private location!
