Depending on your needs and expectations, this is a great property in Playa del Carmen
We had a very nice vacation at Casa Namaste. Here is a summary of the pros and cons of this property. Depending on how picky you are about sound, location, and aspects of cleanliness, this could be a perfect stay that fits your needs and budget.
Pros:
1. Private pool and deck area
2. Gated property with electronic lock
3. Proximity to great local beach - deep and wide
4. Next door to 7/11
5. Excellent property manager, Griselda
6. Lots of amenities - new washer/dryer, stove, micro, beach chairs, bags, utensils, sunscreen, etc. etc.
7. Great restaurants down street and nearby on Calle 38.
8. Very nice grocery store on Avenida CTM.
9. Comfortable and clean bed and living room furniture
10. Clean bathroom and floors.
Cons
1. Water heater is right outside apartment next to headboard. It runs periodically all day and night. If you're a light sleeper, bring really good ear plugs.
2. Everything that's metal is rusty. The beach chairs, coffee pot, light fixtures, patio chairs, etc. Just cover things or ignore it as it is a very damp climate.
3. Noise from construction next door. It's not every day but many weekdays.
4. The neighborhood is quiet but you are a good 10 min. walk to 5th avenue/38th street and the grocery.
5. Bathroom is very nice, but be aware that there is mold around the base of the shower in the humid environment.
6. There are many food items like coffee, creamer and items left behind from other guests. But, be sure to check use by dates as many are expired.
