My friend and I, along with our 3 teenagers stayed at Playa del Sol from June 19-25. We couldn't have asked for a better location or property. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only time there was even a hint of a timeshare presentation was from the concierge, who quickly backed off when we stated we didn't want to spend our precious vacation time at a presentation.

I'm very surprised at the very negative review from a guest who apparently stayed during the same time we did. We recieved an ocean front suite (room 301, I believe) and we are definitely not owners! Yes, one day, the pool was a bit green. The following day it had been cleared up considerably and the day after that it was perfectly blue. We never heard construction noise but did see the building under construction outside our front door. One day, during our stay, there was a notice that a fumigation would take place but we had activities away from the unit and when we returned, there was no odor or any evidence it had even been done (although, I presume it had). I'm delighted to say that we never saw any bugs! Housekeeping was wonderful!!!! Trust me, with 3 teenagers, their job was not made easy. Yet we came back to a spotlessly clean unit, complete with towel animal sculptures!

If there is any kind of negative - and it really isn't - it was that the room safe was not operable. The front desk accomodated us with a safe-deposit box located behind the front lobby. This was only a few steps from our front door and there was always someone immediately available to help us access it whenever we needed to.

We accessed the beach by going through the pool area and down the steps. You don't need to go through the garage if you don't want to. And speaking of the pool, lounge chairs were always available (nothing I hate worse than having to get up early to "claim" a pool chair!)

A money exchange and a convenience store were located across the street. Hundreds of choices of restaurants are located within walking distance. Los Muertos beach with parasailing, waterskis, restaurants and beach vendors was a delight and right at our feet. Next time, I'm going to be sure to buy some pastries from the vendor who walks the walkway every morning. I heard they were delicious!

I will definitely stay again at Playa del Sol.

The staff was so incredibly helpful that each one of the four of us brought it up separately wondering if the others were noticing the same thing. The front desk, the maids, EVERYONE went above and beyond. The restaurant was great. Service was far above par. Our waiter, Alejandro (Alex) deserves special mention for going so far out of his way to help us. He was, well, great isn't a big enough word! Our rooms were spotlessly cleaned each day, the pool was clean and BLUE not green, and we were never approached again after one "No, gracias" to the time share people. I do not like condos and don't stay in beach front hotels usually because I like to stay in a less touristy area when in Mexico but this hotel was just charming. The view, the beach, every part - it was just great. Oh, and there is an elevator right in the middle of the building!

We are seasoned travelers but this place was the worst! Do not stay here unless you plan to buy playa del sol timeshare, if you don't they treat you like trash! For starters our room 211, no elevator gets even close so we went up 3 flights of narrow stairs with 4 suitcases. Our view, a gravel pit, literally. A half torn down building. The pool, Green, the kind of green that causes infections in places you don't want infections. The staff, misreable, unless you want to buy there. If someone is filming a Prison movie I have the names of some potential prison gaurd actresses. We got a notice the first day, must leave from 10am to 3 pm due to fumigating the entire place. Maintence going on, constant jack hammering from 9am til about 5pm. We traded our week of timeshare to stay here, upon booking was told an ocean view room would be no problem since its off season. Upon check-in we were told only members get ocean view all others get whats left over. You have to cross a road to get to the beach and the restaraunt is horrible. Awful, dirty,Nasty, a Waist!

We just returned from spending the last week of April, 2007 at Playa Del Sol Los Muertos Beach. This is a clean, well maintained complex. At check-in, we were asked if we were interested in a timeshare presentation. Our firm "no!" was taken graciously.

We stayed in a one bedroom unit with an ocean view from the small balcony. As you enter, there is a good-sized vanity area, a small closet and a stacking washer and dryer. The small bathroom is just past that. The bedroom was good-sized and had adequate storage for two people. The bed was comfortable, rare in Mexico.

The living room, kitchenette, and dining area are pretty small, but nicely decorated. The decor is Mexican style, the walls are white with a few pictures here and there. The rooms are no where near as nice as those at Playa Del Sol Grand, but we prefer this location.

My brother and sister-in-law decided to join us at the last minute. We were told that the one bedroom condo would accomodate four people. They said the sofa bed was the worst ever-even after housekeeping brought up an egg crate topper. The one bedroom might be fine for a couple with two small children, but it was cramped with four adults. Not enough closet space, bathroom too small, exactly four glasses, etc.

The staff at Playa Del Sol was wonderful! Carlos welcomed us with beach chairs every day and was quick to bring a fresh drink, Rosa kept our room spotless, and the front desk staff was always courteous.

One of my friends was bothered by the fact that you go through the garage to get to the beach. It's a small, very clean, well-lighted and secure garage. I didn't bother me at all.

The pool is really small, but we enjoyed it in the evening. Plenty of chairs for everyone, nicely done pool deck.

We plan on returning to Playa Del Sol. We loved the location and the staff. The one bedroom would have been perfectly adequate for two people.
