We stayed in Condo Iguana, from April 7th until the 14th, and loved it! Firstly, I want to say that the location of the condo really couldn't be any better, it's between the beach and la Quinta, at the road leading to Mamitas beach (calle 28). It has the convenience of being close to everything, yet just far away enough from the action to still be quiet. In the past few years, la Quinta has moved further north, and Condo Iguana is right in the middle of what I now consider to be the best part. Condo Iguana is just one short block away from La Quinta, and it's a 2 minute walk to the Starbucks, less than a 5 minute walk to the corner of Constituyentes and some of the best traditional Mexican restaurants, and a 3 minute walk to the beach. You can't get any better than that! We would pack up the beach umbrella and cooler (provided), stop at the OXXO on the way to buy some ice and drinks, and plop ourselves down on the quiet part of the beach (between Mamitas Beach Club and Las Palapas). It was so close, that we could even go "home" to go to the bathroom if we wanted to! The condo is beautifully decorated, with quality custom made furnishings, and it's exceptionally maintained. The balcony is one of the largest that I have seen in Playa, and I believe that it's one of the few condos that comfortably fits 2 queen sized beds in the second bedroom. The internet was always reliable and we had a strong signal from anywhere in the condo, as well as outside on the balcony. You don't need a car in Playa, but we did rent one to go to Tulum one day, and it was great to have a dedicated parking space right outside the condo. Joe and Josette, the onsite property managers, were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, having lived in Playa for many years, and we even went out for coffee with them! We had a little problem shortly after our arrival (my husband doesn't believe in reading instructions!), and having Joe there to fix it within minutes was invaluable. The owner responded to our rental request within minutes, and was available to answer any questions we had. He was attentive, made sure we got in OK and didn't need anything, and followed up after our stay. I can't say enough good things about the condo and the building, and have been recommending it to all of my friends and work colleagues. If you want to stay there, you had better book fast, because it's going to fill up very quickly!
