Property Activities
There are many things to do for those that like an active vacation. All the normal beach activities (windsurfing, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, etc.) zip- lining, visit the ruins. Cozumel was named one of the top 7 snorkeling places in the world and you can take a ferry to/from there. 5th Avenue is pedestrian only, two miles in length and is full of open air restaurants and air-conditioned stores. Porto Playa Condo/HOtel is located at the halfway mark of 5th Ave. You don't need a car to go anywhere in Playa or Cozumel. If you want to do day trips to Merida or the ruins, you can rent a car or we can arrange a driver for you. Streets in Playa that go North/South are called Avenues, streets that go East/West are called Calles. We are located at 1st Avenue and Calle 16. (There are no 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Avenues, it goes from 1st to 5th)
Located in the heart of Playa del Carmen, second floor unit overlooks 2 pools, 2 Jacuzzis and garden sanctuary. Daily maid service. State of the art fitness center available. My husband, Terry, and I have been going to Playa del Carmen since 1993. We've been to beaches all over the world (Australia, France, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, etc) and this is my favorite beach (I am a beach girl). The beaches in Playa are white, soft sand, no rocks. They are very clean beaches and you can see Cozumel on the horizon. You can walk for miles. Playa has a law that no building near the beach can be taller than 4 stories, so you'll not see any tall buildings which is part of Playa's charm. You can walk north on the beach for at least 10 miles (that's as far as we've ever walked). The water is crystal clear, about 78 degrees. There are numerous restaurants right on the beach and lots of places to get chairs, drinks, etc. You can walk south for about 1 mile.
On the beach: On the beach you can do boogie boards, parasailing, wave runners, etc. Snorkeling and deep sea diving and fishing are very popular. If you want to go snorkeling, I'd take the ferry to Cozumel (rated one of the 7 best in the world) and go snorkeling there. You can also take a tour bus or rent a car once in Playa and go south to ancient mayan ruins or a water park that has snorkeling, tubing in an underground river, and swimming with the dolphins. My son and his girlfriend went zip lining in the area and raved about it. We have noodles in the condo for your use in the Gulf and/or the pool. We were there at the beginning of March and they were having the windsurfing championships, and the waves were higher than normal, but typically the waves are light.
International destination.: Playa is very European - half the tourists are American, the other half are from South America and Europe. It's fun to walk 5th or be eating a meal and hearing all the different accents. Little Italy is full on Italians and is bout 2 blocks away with lots of great places for expresso, cappuchino, gelato etc.
If you want to stock the kitchen and/or cook: We have friends who now live down there and they buy all their food at Wal-Mart. I know how that sounds, but down there it is a beautiful store with the greatest fresh food. We typically walk over there ( about 6 blocks) the first day (in the morning before it gets too hot), and buy fresh fruit, wine and snacks. If you buy a lot, you can take a cab back to the condo for $2.00) We then have breakfast on our balcony. Before dinner we open up a bottle of wine and have drinks and snacks on the balcony. There is another store, Mega, that is the Mexican version of Wal Mart. Located 1 block from Wal Mart
Golf: We are about a 10 minute drive from several top notch golf courses, (i.e. Manikoba) where international golf matches are held.

Diane Grigus
“We called Fernando and he took us to Tulum on Monday. He suggested we make a day of it and see other places he knew about. He was so right. The ruins are interesting and we were amazed at the beautiful panaroma of the ocean as you looked down the rocky cliff. Then he took us to a beautiful lagoon where he knew of a nice restaurant for lunch in a more remote area. That beach was so quiet and absolutely breathtaking. The kids played football with a coconut! The views there were breathtaking. He took us to a second lagoon beach which was beautiful too and so pristine. We got lots of fun pictures of the kids climbing a palm tree that was at an angle. Then he took us to a cenote which is supposed to be one of the best around. We got snorkels and saw divers down below and turtles and fish. Really fun. We had a great day and were really glad we did it. We ate at La Parrilla last night.
This morning we had our Discovery Jungle adventure. We drove ATVs out of town for 20 miles and then went ziplining. We all went and had a blast. There are three ziplines and we all did them all (except Phil took a pass on the highest one…he’s not a big fan of heights). We’ve never been before…pretty exciting! Then we went in their cenote. It felt really refreshing after being on the dusty road with the ATVs. It wasn’t as big as the one we had gone into in Tulum. We spent the afternoon on the beach here today and had lunch at the Blue Parrot this time and then ate dinner at Mandarina’s Cafe. We did a little more shopping and we’ve had our share of gelato! The kids have had a great time. They are up on the roof enjoying the hot tub right now. It’s nice that there is so much for everyone to do. Thanks so much for all of your suggestions and help making this such a memorable trip. We all love it and would be delighted to come back sometime!” Diane (family vacation with teenagers and adult children)

Nancy Hough , New York, New York First time we stayed in this unit we were in Playa for a long weekend and some serious R&R. Within an hour of landing at the airport we were having lunch on the beach. We ate, slept and walked the beach for 3 days and totally recharged. This last time we stayed fo 10 days. The first 2 we relaxed. Then we went on day trips. One day to Cozumel for the best snorkeling I’ve ever experienced. Another day we went to XCaret, an eco park. We got there at 10 am and stayed till 9 that night so we could see the “celebration of Mayan Mexico”. It was fabulous. Another day we went to Chichen Itza, one of the 7 wonders of the world. It has Mayan ruins and was unbelievable. It’s a long ride, but well worth it. I can’t say enough about Playa del Carmen, and the Porto Playa condo/hotel. We’ve stayed in unit 216 twice and the owner could not be more helpful with booking the reservation, to restaurant recommendations, to sights to see. We will be back!

Mary Hinske , Houston Texas What a romantic place to be! We were there celebrating an anniversary and another guest was getting married on the beach. It is beautiful. 5th Avenue is the Mexican equivalent to the Avenue des Champs Elysees in Paris. Restaurants are phenomenal. Unit 216 has the best view of the pool, a little bit of the gulf, and was better than Hawaii. 03/14/09
We got married on the beach in Playa and stayed in Porto Playa!
Nicole and Kevin, Illinois
We traveled out of the country for the first time for our Wedding/Honeymoon. Not knowing what to expect but going off of reviews ourself. We were amazed on how at home you feel at Porto Playa Condo 216. The condo was immaculate and so cozy. We will be returning to this same Condo for our Anniversary. It was a dream come true for us! The recommendations from the owner Laura were fabulous. We had our reception at Play Asia and were not disappointed. The food was delicous and the atmosphere was amazing! Our regular restaurant was La Parilla. The mexican food was fabulous. The best restaurant in town!
March 1, 2009 Suzie Burns , Traverse City, Mi
Secluded feeling while being in the heart of Playa! The lush landscaping within the walls of this resort gave a serene atmosphere. I loved everything about the condo: proximity to beach, and to the dining and shopping of 5th Avenue, and the friendly staff, who provided security and daily cleaning. Could spend the day surrounded by many people, and retire to the privacy of the condo. Relaxing to the hilt! We loved staying here, and would definitely recommend Porto Playa to our friends!
December, 2008 Victoria Weise , Forest Park, Il
As soon as you arrive at Porto Playa, a sense of peace, tranquility, safety, and privacy surrounds you. The gardens and tropical plants are mature and exquisite; the pool glistens in the sunlight. The staff are gracious and helpful. I truly felt welcomed and secure. The condo was wonderfully decorated with quality local furnishings and art, conveying a real sense of the Mexican Riviera. Rooms are spacious, complete with all provisions that could possibly be necessary for a vacation getaway. Beds are extremely comfortable, contributing to a wonderfully refreshing rest. The patio is perfect for any time of day, from breakfast coffee and rolls with exotic birds chirping softly in the beautiful morning sun, to a mid afternoon guacamole and wine fest. Beach is perfect. Right around the corner, with an abundance of restaurants with great food and drinks. The margaritas were my favorite – perfect for watching the clear beautiful Caribbean. I’ve already booked my next vacation at Porto Playa!
March, 2009 Jack Dinh , San Bernadino CA If you are looking for a quiet condo right in the heart of Playa Del Carmen within seconds walk of the beach and 5th Avenue, this is definitely the place for you. We rented this 2 bedroom 2 bath condo along with another couple (all 4 of us are in our 30s). Suffice to say, we were NOT disappointed. First of all, the condo offers you the privacy and independence that resorts cannot offer. At the same time, there is a full time staff as well as full time security to cater to your needs. The best perk of the condo is the incredible location, right next to the action of 5th avenue (a pedestrian only street where all the restaurants and shops are). The walk is literally seconds to 5th avenue, great after a night of dinner and drinking. In addition, the beach is only a minute or so walk away (beach towels are included) Despite being so close to everything, when you are physically within the condo premises, you feel completely isolated in your own sanctuary. Each condo is private. There are two pools and two jacuzzis. All are heated, which is great for the late night swim after a day at the beach. The condo itself is incredible. Modern, clean, and spacious. A/C included, although you don’t need it. The showers were heaven. Really, the pictures do not do the condo justice. You have to see it with your own eyes! Another perk of the condo is underground secured parking, in the event that you decide to rent a car to visit the mayan ruins or other excursions. Finally, the owner and staff are so helpful. After talking to the owner to reserve the condo, I was sent a list of places to go and eat. The recommendations were dead on. In summary, this condo offers everything you may need for a stress-free vacation. Very few rental places will not only meet, but exceed expectations, and this condo definitely does so.
Kevin and Nicole's wedding (Brian was best man)
November, 2008 Brian Leli , Chicago, Il This is a fantastic place to stay, both in terms of location and quality. It’s practically right on the beach and right in the heart of Playa (right off of 5th ave). It’s very roomy, comfortable, clean and well-maintained, and the customer service is outstanding. There are an endless amount of restaurants (and places to shop), no matter what your tastes. I would highly recommend staying here.
