You’ll love the rooftop pool, bar and BBQ lounge with wonderful views of the Caribbean Sea. It’s a perfect way to relax poolside, get sun, work, eat or just be. ICONO Playa also has a fitness room to get your workouts in, and a sauna and a massage room too!
You’ll enter into a beautiful and luminous living space with plush comfortable seating and stylish furnishings, and a large Smart TV for enjoying relaxed downtime moments at home. You’ll have direct access from here through the glass sliding doors to the private balcony with sofa seating to enjoy fresh air, your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. Open the doors all the way to extend the living space!
There’s a dining table and plush cushioned seats to seat 6 comfortably for a nice meal at home or for a laptop-friendly workspace.

The kitchen is fabulous and fully equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances and all the cookware and utensils you’d need to prepare meals at home.
There are 2 luminous bedrooms, both with plush king beds and one with a private bathroom. Then there’s a pull-down double-size murphy bed (perfect for kids) and the living room sofa is a pullout bed.
We cannot have more than 6 overnight guests in the apartment due to building regulations.
The two full bathrooms are very contemporary with modern fixtures and features like spacious stand-in showers with rainfall shower heads.

The Neighborhood:
The condo is located in the heart of downtown Playa, about a 10-15-minute walk (4 blocks) to 5th Ave. and one more block to the beach. Stroll the famous 5th Ave pedestrian walk street and encounter restaurants, bars, boutique and souvenir shops, malls, street performers and loads of people-watching! You’ll also be just ½ block from 30th Ave, with lots of “local” shopping and services, including a Super Walmart (just a 5-minute walk away). Or shop the vibrant open-air malls up and down 5th Ave like Paseo del Carmen, Quinta Alégria and the shops at Calle Corazón. You'll also be just a 15-minute walk to the Cozumel Ferry Dock - where you can take a 35-40 minute ferry ride to visit this beautiful, crystal water island.
And here are some of our local restaurant recommendations:
- El Fogón (Best authentic Mexican tacos in town!)

Getting Around:
The condo is about 54 km/34 miles or about a 45-50 min drive from the Cancun International Airport (CUN). Driving time varies based on traffic and time of day, so check your mobile map apps when you arrive for accurate driving time. There’s a free underground parking spot for a normal-sized car (no trucks) at Icono Playa on a first-come-first-serve basis. You can park in the street, too but please be aware there are parking meters where you’ll need to pay and display your parking pass on the dashboard.
The condo complex is very centrally located; you really don't even need to drive! You can prearrange airport transfers, and around town, you can rent a bike, take a taxi or ‘colectivo’ (shared-ride vans) where you need to go.
