We stayed at Paseo Del Sol in a 3 bedroom Condo with a beautiful private rooftop patio. We were there for 2 weeks and have not one complaint! It was exactly as we expected. It was literally only a 5 minute walk across the street to the beach. The condo was safe, clean and well appointed. We will be back with our family!!

After spending previous vacations in all inclusive properties in the Riviera Maya we decided to try out a condominium. Our travel agent recommended Paseo del Sol, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Located in Playacar, just about a ten minute walk to downtown, we couldn't believe how spacious the condominiums were. We just got back from spending a week there during the holidays and we loved it. It's not right on the beach, just across the street, but the pool more than makes up for it. The staff was friendly, they helped us out when booking excursions, and even offered a service to do our grocery shopping for us before we arrived. We had to go to Walmart once, which was a short taxi ride, but walked to 5th Avenue for restaurants and shopping. Had we known the condos were that spacious we would have invited friends, but will definitely be back and recommend to others.

We rented a car at the Cancun airport - great value since the taxi fare comes to more than $100 return. Arriving after dark we required the assistance of one of the Playacar security guys on a motor scooter to find Encanto Paseo del Sol, but in the daytime found it was a very simple route from town. Although there were only two of us we were upgraded to the three bedroom condo (Reef 203) and what a suite! I fell in love with the gorgeous dining table suite in the huge apartment. Kitchen was fully equipped even included a stock pot which we used to make some chicken soup for an ailing friend staying in another facility. Grounds and pool were just lovely; we really felt like international jet-setters relaxing by the huge swimming pool. The main open foyer was very comfortable and my partner had some interesting conversations there with the helpful and friendly security boys. Our main balcony (there were three) was comfortably furnished and we enjoyed many warm pleasant evenings out there. About a seven minute walk to town (5th Avenue) or a two minute drive. Plenty of parking in town and parking at the Paseo is free right out front. A card from the front desk gives one access to the beach at the Reef across the street, but the sea there is kind of smelly. Much better to stay by the pool! We started out cooking for ourselves and bought three days worth of groceries at the Mega Mart including beer, wine, pop and plenty of food for $56 CDN. Later tried some of the restaurants in town and found one could eat for less than $10 a meal including beer (per person). A couple of blocks towards town is the local bird sanctuary and is well worth the price of admission. Spent a day driving to Tulum and Coba; watch out for those speed bumps! We had a wonderful visit!

The condos are absolutely beautiful and they are in a prime locations. They are really spacious and decorated beautifully. Five star for sure! They all have a washer and dryer, so don't worry about over packing. The beach is a 2 minute walk, just across the road. There is a Walmart 8 minutes away ($5 cab ride) and that is where we purchased all our food. The condo was very dead when we went there so we usually had the whole pool to ourselves which was nice so we could play our music and relax. The pool is absolutely gorgeous and the resort is cleaned to the tee. The location is about a 10 mintue walk to the town or a $5 cab ride. The town is FABULOUS with lots of stuff to do. I recommend checking out the bar "Senor Frogs" if you like to have a good time. Also Coco Bongo was AMAZING.

The condo also has a gym (non air conditioned...oh well) with good enough equipment.

I've been to lots of all inclusives and it was nice to be in a different environment. Yeah, you had to make your own drinks and your own food, but you also had SSOOO much more space and NO ONE at the pool.

Overall, it was a great time.
