MEXICO Luxurious Remodeled XAMAN-HA CONDOMINIUM RENTAL Riviera Maya PLAYA DEL CARMEN
Xaman-Ha Riviera Maya Playa del Carmen Mexico
Our unit is the most luxurious beach-front condominium at Xaman-Ha and is our personal home when we are in Playa del Carmen. We have it furnished in an elegant Mexican style, but it has required necessities like TVs, telephone, washer and dryer, high speed wireless internet service, and has just had a major renovation with a new kitchen, central air conditioning and a new satellite cable system. We have central air conditioning (almost all other units in Xaman-Ha have wall units, they are very noisy) and an ultra modern kitchen. Even though a couple of other units have new kitchens, none have a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave oven, stove top burners, and a regular built in oven, In addition, the kitchen has granite counter tops and tile back splashes. Our unit is non smoking. The condominium is accented with crafts from local artists that provide the perfect backdrop to beautiful ocean views and the lights of Cozumel that can be seen from the furnished deck. The condominium is located in the Xaman-Ha complex, within the quiet, sophisticated gated Playacar Development (35 miles south of Cancun) in the Riviera Maya and is within 200 yards of the town border of Playa del Carmen and the ferry pier to Cozumel. The White beaches of Playacar stretch for miles and are perfect for private picnics, morning jogs, or just a slow evening stroll. When taking a break from all the available water sports - snorkeling, scuba, sailing etc., condominium residents can play a round of golf at the world class Robert Von Hagge designed golf course, enjoy a game of tennis or just relax at this Riviera Maya country club. If you care to, please check out the Xaman-Ha website at http://www.xamanhainfo.com/ and the live beach and garden web cams on the site.
Size: The unit sleeps 4 people. It has 2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms with utilities, maid services and linens provided. Master suite has a king-sized bed, dressing area, and separate area with shower/tub and toilet. Second bedroom has twin beds which are not permanently affixed to the walls so they can be moved together. Additional center hall bath. Combination kitchen, dining, and living room. Outside balcony with lounge chair and additional table and 4 chairs..
Description: Our unit is on the top (second) floor in the center of the complex facing the ocean. The levels are ground, first and second. There are no elevators. There are only two units on our floor. The person next door owns the rest of the floor so in is extremely private. No one comes to the floor or passes by unless they are coming to see you or the person next door. The views are spectacular. It’s quiet because no one is above you nor next to you. The unit also has cathedral ceilings so it seems twice as large as the other units. We keep it in first class condition by going down periodically and personally inspecting it. We have two fresh water pools and a lovely beach. The pools are interconnected and one-half of each pool is only 6 inches deep for small children. There is a large Palapa to sit under to stay out of the sun. The beach is sandy and goes down in depth very gradually. There are very few waves and the water is crystal clear and a bluish /green in color. We do not have dinning facilities to keep the residential feel of the complex. The unit has bottled water. The unit contains all the towels and linens you need but additional beach towels are always welcome because they seem to disappear. Our unit is fully equipped with a full sized refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, complete kitchen, telephone, cable TV , wireless internet service, etc. The town has many shops, world class restaurants and a pedestrian walkway-a great place to visit and sightsee but not necessarily stay. Dive and snorkeling boats leave from the various locations on the beach.
Xaman-Ha is the best located beach front condominium complex in Playacar or Playa del Carmen. The all-inclusive hotels are a few miles down the beach and somewhat isolated. Fisherman’s Village is a condo/hotel about a mile down the beach from Xaman-Ha and of much different character and most clients prefer Xaman-Ha to it. Cleaning and staff personnel are available to handle all cleaning, repair and informational needs in English.

Recent Comments from Guests:
"My wife and I really fell in love with Playa del Carman in the Riviera Maya. Cancun can't hold a candle to it. Your place is absolutely beautiful. After reading the guest book, you've probably heard every compliment possible about the view, the beach, and your place. The girls in the office were very helpful, as was everyone else in the complex. The closeness to the town was also wonderful. Great new restaurants each night and great people watching. My wife and I both said we felt more of the character of Mexico in 20 minutes in Playa than we did in a full week in Cancun. We also rented a car and visited a few secluded spots down the coast."  "I have been very busy since our return from Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya and have not had the opportunity to write to you about our stay.  We loved the condo.  Beautiful view and peaceful surroundings.  Playa is the perfect happy medium between the craziness of Cancun and the seclusion of Acumal.  The local people are friendly and helpful and there was just enough activity to keep us from being bored without being crowded.  We definitely plan on going back and will hope to rent your condo again.  In fact we have recently recommended it to several friends.  Your vacation rentals are fabulous. Thanks again."
