Closest Condo to Beach, Cleaning & All Fees Included!

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (23)
"The home was very clean and comfortable. Access to the beach via the Reef hotel was busy as Oscar promised, but the side access worked well!We had one day where the running water wasn't working. Oscar explained that this is because there's a tank shared by the whole building and if the building is really full sometimes it runs out before the staff can re-fill it."

AMAZING APARTMENT IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN! Blue Ángel

5.0 out of 10, (2)
"We loved staying at the Blue Angel. It was very Central. Close to Restaurants, the Beach,5th Avenue. It is a small, Rustic, Mexican style apartment. We used outdoor patio, always! It has cutlery, pots, pans, we cooked a lot! It was just the two of us! You have to climb stairs to get to apartment. We love Susan, she was our cleaning lady, she gave us fresh towels, changed sheets for us and cleaned apartment when asked. If you are wanting to be pampered, go to a Resort. But we loved staying there....
