    DETAILS TO NOTE
    -Please note that during September and October 2026, maintenance work will be performed on the pool. The water level will be approximately 50 cm lower than normal, but the pool will remain open and available for guest use. Sections of the pool may be temporarily closed as work progresses, with different areas opening and closing throughout the project.

    - Please be aware that seaweed is a natural phenomenon that hits Quintana Roo beaches, especially during the summer months (Apr-Oct). While the local team at El Faro and the municipality make every effort to clean up the seaweed, it can still impact beach conditions and your ability to enjoy the ocean. As it decomposes, it may also produce strong odors. Please make yourself aware of the current state of the seaweed, as we cannot offer refunds for any issues related to seaweed.

    - The central location of this property gives you access to the best that downtown Playa del Carmen has to offer. Due to our location next to restaurants and bars, you may experience some noise at this location. We do not offer refunds for noise issues. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy your stay!

    - The beach in front of El Faro will come and go seasonally, at times the ocean comes all the way up to the deck and the common area administration will block this area for security purposes. Please exercise caution and comply with any common area association rules.

    - Your booking automatically includes a damage protection policy. Should any minor accidental damages occur during your stay, we will cover you up to $1,000. We understand accidents happen, so we've got your back! However, if we determine damage was willful or negligent, we will charge an additional cost based on the damage itself.

    - We have a no-tolerance rule about parties and loud noise, so please be aware that complaints from neighbors, notifications from authorities, notifications from our noise monitoring software, or any other proof of disruptive behavior or loud noise between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM will result in fines of up to $1000.00, possible eviction and / or possible legal action if authorities are involved.

    -The beach condition changes every day, weather and hurricanes tend to affect how wide the sand area is in our photos- sometimes the water reaches up to the deck.

    - Please note that due to El Faro's security protocols, before your arrival, we will request a photo of each guest's ID that will be at the property during your stay.

    Have any questions about our home or location? Please let us know! We hope to host you soon!

This was a very nice 2 bed/bath apartment. Easy for our family of 3, including a 17y. The room was spacious and comfortable. The balcony was also spacious and comfortable with a nice view. The water cooler was a nice addition as well. The apartment complex was easy to navigate and quiet. The property is very close to all the hustle and bustle of the city as well. The management company that handled the rental communicated very effectively and helped make things smooth. The local staff was helpful and friendly. Overall, a great place to stay with your family!

Great stay

This condo was great overall. The location, the view, and it had all we needed. The only minor complaint is that the water had a strong smell the first night that filled the condo. It was not an issue after the first day.

Perfect, near 5th avenue and beachfront

This place was perfect for my family because it was beachfront with pool and walking distance to 5th avenue as well as other stores. We loved that Walmart was so close to us and the apartment had washer and dryer! That was a must for us because of our kids. The staff was very helpful and friendly! The apartment was air conditioned and spacious, it fit our needs!

Great Location

We had a wonderful stay at Reef 303. The condo was well equipped and very clean. Vivian came pretty much every other day to clean and bring fresh towels. The location couldn’t be better, right on the beach and close to many great restaurants. Our only complaint was that the patio door wouldn’t lock but being on the 3rd floor we weren’t too concerned about safety.

Awesome location and place!

The location was amazing and we would totally stay here again. I would love to go ahead and plan our next stay! My only complaint is that the master bed was a little hard and the blankets weren’t very warm. This may have been due to the AC working a little too well and blowing directly on us while we were sleeping. But an extra blanket or two would fix it.

El Faro Reef 303 Playa del Carmen

Location was great and close to everything we wanted within walking distance (ferry, restaurant, shopping, groceries). Unit was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for basic cooking. Could use some new pillows as the current ones are a bit past their prime. Pool was wonderful. Lots of space and looked out onto the ocean. Beach in this part of playa looks like it has been eroded quite a bit, so not much usable beach right in front of El Faro, but just a little ways down the beach it gets much wider and the entry to the ocean has fewer rocks so that was ok. Was a wonderful stay and would stay here again.

The condo is well-maintained. The air conditioning works well, the kitchen is well outfitted, and all ammenities are as advertised. A highlight of the property is its large forever pool, which is clean, well-maintained, and kept to a good temperature. I found a 45-yard length (nearly olympic-size) for my daily swims.The condo is in a complex of three buildings that sit on the water near the main Playa del Carmen commerce district. Unfortunately, the condo lies on a part of the beach that is nearly completely eroded away. At times, it is impossible to pass through the beach at and around the condo area because there just isn't any beach left.The condo also lies in an area of "sargassum" (brown microalgae) control. A front-end loader hauls the aargussum off the beach and loads it into dump trucks right in front of the condo building. The "beep-beep-beep" noise of the front-end loader backing up and the hum of construction vehicles were frequent during our stay, as was the foul smell (a combination of sulfur and sea) of the sargussum.The poor beach environmnet and smell of sargussum marred what is otherwise a beautiful property. If you come to the area between May and October ("sargussum season"), be prepared for this. A good escape is the west coast of Cozumel, which is proected from this nuisance. Our time on Cozumel ended up being the highlight of this trip. Also be prepared for high heat and humidity. We prefer the west coast of Mexico, which is cooler and drier.
