I went to El Faro with my husband and 3 fiiends to celebrate our 40th Birthdays. We loved the place. Very modern and brand new. We would go back. I thought there was a cold plunge but it was a hot tub which we liked better on the roof. View of the ocean is wonderful from balcony on main floor and balcony bigger than expected. The restaurant onsite is amazing, Wicky's. We only had 3 things that went wrong the whole week. The floors are very slippery around the condos and when it rains you will slip if not very careful. My friends slipped 3 times. The internet was not working in the room but you could use it in the lobby and the a/c in the master bedroom broke halfway through the week so they are still getting things setup as this is a brand new place. I would go back anytime and absolutely love this place and Playa Del Carmen. We went to the new park Xplor which was so amazing and had so much fun. You can take a cab there so do not buy the transportation as it is way more expensive.

Great but lacking basic necessities
Reviewed by Karen on 6/17/2010

The condo, location, beach, Wicky's etc. were great but we found many basic necessities lacking. There was no working elevator the duration of our stay. In the condo there was no kleenex, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, dish towels... I have never stayed in any condo that was so poorly equipped.

Rooftop fun at the beach

Reef Bldg, Room 403 was a delightful 2 bedroom condo at the El Fero (The Lighthouse) Residences. Spacious rooms, very accommodating furniture/decor, plenty of amenities, supurb location, wonderful large swimming pool, and the rooftop patio with hot-tub was the best part. We stayed for 3 days, 2 nights with our two children, ages 4 and 5 - and couldn't have asked for anything more. We'll be back. Thank you.

Relax in style.

We had a great time in the condo and found it well appointed and comfortable. If we are ever back in Playa Del Carmen we will be using this condo again.

One of the best beach vacations we have ever had.

Rented Penthouse Reef 403 over spring break and went with my wife, 16 year old daughter and 13 year old son. We have been all over Mexico with Cabo being our previous favorite but for our family PDC and the location of El Faro was perfect. First the service working with Tonya @ Playa Beach Condo Rentals was exceptional. I tend to ask ALOT of questions and she answered every one of them in detail El Faro in general....The location is perfect right in the middle of the main beach area. There are no big resorts right here pretty much all Condo's. El Faro for us was the best of both worlds. With a nice pool and Wicky's Beach Club right there it was almost like a full svc resort but you got to go back to a fabulous 2 bedroom 2 bath room and really relax instead of a cramped hotel room. El Faro appeared to us to be the highest end location. Many looked a little old and beat up but I am sure that is fine for many but my family is spoiled so I am told. The room was brand new and everything worked great. The rooftop is really cool and a great place to relax at the end of the day. My guess is Tanya will probably update with better pictures because the ones I had previously seen don't do the rooftop justice. The only downside is the resort rooms are maybe half done. It didn't really both us and there really wasn't any noise but with 2 teenagers it was a little slow but the beach scene made up for it. Location.....As you have read this is truly about 1 1/2 blocks from Fifth Avenue which again with our family was perfect. We never had to plan out our meals unless we wanted to just walked up and down 5th, maybe the side streets and 10th and picked a place. During the day the beach has tons of places to eat and relax and some alot cheaper that Wicky's but the quality of Wicky's was top notch. It was a little surprise that those beach restaurants weren't as active at night as I would have thought. It looked like some close up because all the action is on 5th

What a location!

My family and I stayed at El Faro and chose 403 because of a rooftop area that was advertised as a plunge pool - we were so delighted to find out that it was actually a hot tub wtih many settings - never had one in Mexico before! Being right in town but on a gorgeous stretch of beach made our vacation perfect. Tonya with Playa Beach Condos was great to work with - took care of everything and was so nice and thoughtful through a series of reservation adjustments on our part. The condo is beautiful and had everything we needed. The views from the balcony and rooftop are keeping us warm during the winter. Loved the people and the food and drinks at Wicky's. Can't wait to go back!

Loved Playa

Tonya, Thank you every so much for setting up accommodations for my stay in Playa January 26-30th. My (by far) favorite place was Luna. We stayed one night at El Faro 403. The unit was nice and the view was incredible. The one thing I might suggest is that the living room is cramped and would be more comfortable if the TV was wall mounted, thus eliminating the sideboard beneath. This is just a personal suggestion and nothing more! Thanks again for everything. Babs Gerber

El Faro is terrific!

I stayed at unit 403 for four days. The condo is lovely and their beach is huge. The restaurant at El Faro, Wicky's, is absolutely the nicest in Playa Del Carmen.
