Christmas Vacation
Everything about the property was excellent. The staff at the property were extremely helpful with any needs that we had. Everything we needed was within walking distance. Our favorite part was the perfect view of the water from the deck outside. We will definitely be coming back!

Great house... sub par communication with rental company
House was great and had a really nice location. We just had quite a few hiccups with our check in and check out. Make sure you get your confirmation email 2 weeks before you leave for Mexico because it has all of your checkin info. The front desk is very helpful, but many of the workers speak very little English and can't help you without that email. As for the checkout process, make sure you keep that email handy that you used for checkin. It also takes over 2 weeks to get your deposit refunded, which seems like a really long time. We have done many home rentals in the past and this one was a bit extra hassle.

Nice condo, very comfortable
Hard to beat this location. Very quiet and away from the busy 5th ave or pier area. We walked to 5th each night for dinner, but our best dinner may have been at the Italian restaurant right up the street about 200 yards. For us the pool was the biggest disappointment. I chose this property because my family enjoys a nice pool. Although it looks just like the pics, it is very shallow so the water WARM. The last thing you want to feel after baking in the sun is warm water. We forced ourselves to use it one day but left after about 10 min.
The beach club is nice. We never had to worry about getting a chair at the beach. There are burgers and snacks are fairly reasonably priced and tastes good. If you want a little more drink diversity, Canibal Royal is right next door (north) and they have fresh seafood. The condo is very nice and the staff here at The Elements is great. If you don't mind a warm to hot water pool, I recommend this property.

great condo with fantastic view
We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the ocean. The concierge, associated with the condo, did a good job of lining up our excursions. I would give the condo a B+. It would have gotten an A rating except for two things. 1) there was a strong sulfur smell outside but I don't see how the owners can be faulted for that. 2) There is a beach club about 150 yards down the beach. They played loud music but the positioning of the condo muted most of it - except for a heavy bass beat. But the music was always shut down before 10PM. Would I stay there again - yes.

Best rental in Playa
My wife and I returned to Playa again this summer and we were thrilled to be able to stay at The Elements. We have stayed 3 other places and this was by far the best rental, in the best location with the best amenities. Clean and spacious with amazing views and an unbelievable pool. The staff was friendly and welcoming, you're so close to the beach and the perfect distance from 5th avenue. Our only regret was not staying longer, we plan to stay here again next summer.

Comfort and views!
Castillo Del Mar was exactly as described. It is spacious and well maintained . The location, close to 5ta Avenida but far enough from the hustle and bustle , gave us the option to stay in quietly to enjoy the beach and pool or walk over to enjoy the lively atmosphere of 5th Ave. We were comfortable in the condo overall. We loved the glass walls facing the beach and the pool. Also, loved sitting out on the balcony to soak in the views, sound of waves swaying softly, and watched our kids cooling in the beautiful pool.
The only reason I didn't give this condo a 5 star is that the a/c unit in the master bedroom wasn't cold enough then on the last night, it just gave up. We opened the sliding door and it allowed a soft cool breeze in, so it was a quick fix for that night. We reported this to Deborah.
I would definitely recommend Castillo Del Mar to anyone going to Playa Del Carmen. We are a family of five and this condo suit our every need and want by far. It is so spacious and close to restaurants too. We had breakfast and dinner at la Cueva Del Chango, excellent food!
Oh, having parking on the complex was also a plus! We drove to Tulum, Xcaret, Xplor, Cancun, and around Playa Del Carmen!
Love this place!
