We really enjoyed our stay at Playa Blanca. We rented the entire condo (including the hotel room) for our family of 4, and we had plenty of room. Our sons each had their own bed and bath, while my husband & I spread out in the master bed/bath. Love the openness and comfort. Owner provides just about everything needed, including purified water. The photos are exactly what you get when you arrive. Only issue we had was the safe would not lock. We notified the desk and it was fixed the following day. This was ok since we had family staying in another condo, so we were able to use their safe in the meantime. The staff is friendly and prompt. We did not use many of the amenities because we really only slept there, but there are many things at your disposal: kitchen supplies, boogie boards, grill, etc. Limited parking spaces but we didn't rent a car since we had other family down the road. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants, etc. And literally feet from the ocean. I think the most important thing, though, was that we felt safe here. We had absolutely no issues, even being on ground level with feeling unsafe. That made a big impression on us. Also, the communication was extremely helpful. They went out of her way to answer questions and was very thoughtful!! Would definitely recommend this condo/owner/staff to anyone. We would certainly stay here again!

Unit #1 was very private. Empty lot next door so we only had neighbors on one side. We walked right onto the sand from our ground level condo, floor to ceiling windows. This was the best part.  Ideally suited for 2 couples, each of us had a private bathroom. Evidently this condo can be rented as a single unit so there is plenty of privacy between the 2 bedrooms.  We used the kitchen for every meal with the exception of 2. There is purified water available in large quantities. Housekeeping service was outstanding. They will change sheets and towels during your stay, but you must request. It comes with daily housekeeping service.  Great snorkeling about a 5 minute walk down the beach to the left. We enjoyed this much more than Akumal Bay. Fewer people and more sea life in the water.  We had a car, but if you do not, and wish to walk to town, restaurants etc, it takes about 15 minutes along the road. Not a lot of traffic and quite enjoyable.  Something to think about depending on what kind of traveler you are...  If you plan on cooking a lot like we did, I would suggest bringing your own knives. This unit could also use an extra cutting board and perhaps salad bowl. There were no condiments to speak of. Bring your own spices. There is a BBQ, but it is not a gas BBQ. Buy charcoal before arrival if you intend on using it. Beach towels are provided at the condo, you do not need to bring. No shortage of lounge chairs and there is quite a selection of children's beach toys and boogie boards inside the condo.  We found the water for showering to be the hottest in the morning. Lukewarm in the afternoon when returning from the beach. Not really an issue because the outside temperature was quite warm when we were there.  Bottom line? Would we recommend this specific condo and condo complex? Absolutely.
