About this property

Spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse condo one block from Mamitas open for reservations!

This spacious penthouse condominium is truly the most beautiful in Magic Paradise. With its lofted ceilings and sculptured staircase, you will enjoy the feeling of home without the worries of a larger residence. Just 100 steps from Mamitas, considered by many to be one of the best Caribbean beaches, and one block from the upscale part of the Quinta Avenida, there is something here for everyone.

The location of this condominium truly could not be better. Although right in the heart of the best part of Playa, you will find that this quiet, immaculate, and safe home provides a sense of seclusion. Located on the top floor of the newest building in the complex, this penthouse condominium has a spacious rooftop patio, private entrance, with no one walking by to interrupt your privacy.

The large, brightly lit, spacious living room is connected to a well stocked, complete kitchen with everything you will need if you wish to cook. If not, you are steps away from some of the best international and haute Mexican cuisine in the complex itself and a block away at the world renowned Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue).

This three bedroom, three bathroom condo is truly divine. The upstairs master bedroom has one king-size bed, the large downstairs bedroom has two double beds, and the guest room has a queen bed with a private balcony. All bedrooms have comfortable beds, hotel quality bedding, and full private bathrooms. Both full and single-sized futons are available for extra guests.

After a day visiting the pyramids, shopping, or enjoying the incomparable healing turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean, settle in for a soak in the private jacuzzi on the large roof top solarium. The solarium, which is divided into three large private areas, also features a gas-grill barbeque, a shaded area with hammocks and plants for relaxing and reading, and an area with a beautiful large round stone round table for dining or just stargazing and at the wonders of playa living.

We are now managed by Globalia. This condominium is family owned and cared for and you will feel right at home. If there is anything you need, just call our English-speaking representatives Rodrigo and Carlos, who will make sure that your time in Playa meets your every expectation. Magic Paradise has a 24 hour security guard and handy man. Let go, relax and come to Paradise-It's Magic!

Birthday in Playa

This condo was everything it said it was. Me and the fellas had a ball. Great location. Had everything you need. Loved the whole layout, the kitchen, living area and the private roof deck. We would 100% stay there again. Carlos was great, he was quick to respond and was ready to help solve any problems we could have. Excellent stay.

Vacation stay

Property location is perfect. Close to the beach and close to town. Never met the manager of the property, but he was really good in communicating through whatsup. No car needed if you stay in town. 5th street can be pricey, but there are side streets with good food and not as expensive. Condo is equipped with beach chairs easy to carry and other things that we did not have to use. AC is working well, and there was extra big jags of water left for us in the condo.

Great host

Absolutely everything about this apartment was great. The location is very good, a 2 minute walk to a good beach, a 1 minute walk to the main street, a 5 minute walk to a big shop, a small shop in front of the house. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. Great kitchen with cooking utensils, there were even surfboards and beach toys for the kids. Great small pool in the garden. The communication with the host was excellent, the property manager Carlos was very helpful, we ordered the transfer and excursions through him, everything went exactly as we agreed. If we were to travel to the same city again, we would definitely stay at the same accommodation.

My experience at casa rios

La casa está muy bonita y muy bien ubicada cerca de la playa, la cocina tiene todo lo necesario para cocinar, pero cuando entramos, no habían hecho la limpieza y todo estaba sucio, hablamos con el property manager y fueron a limpiarlo, el aire de una recamara no servía, y lo tuvieron que cambiar por uno nuevo, pero estubimos 2 noches sin aire. El aire de la sala estaba tirando agua y por la mañana había un gran charco y tuvieron que arreglarlo, una tarde se fue la luz y le hablamos al property manager y rápido lo solucionaron pero vino el agua y se fue la luz! Que también arreglaron rápidamente. Era para dar risa, ya me daba pena con el property manager, tuvimos muy mala suerte esos 9 dias que estubimos ahí, aún así le doy 4 estrellas de 5

We now live in central California and have three children Xochitl, Enrique, and Itzel.

Why they chose this property

We just kept coming back! As a family we travel a great deal and we found ourselves never being as excited to go anywhere else than when we were traveling to Playa! We were considering buying a property in Spain or Mexico and when we found Playa we knew that someday we just had to have a second home in the beautiful Mayan Riviera!

What makes this property unique

We love Mexico, especially this part of Mexico, and we really want our guests to enjoy it as much as we do! We have created Casa Rios to help our guests find their second home in Playa del Carmen. You will find everything you need to optimize your stay and we truly enjoy working with our guests to make sure that you have the chance to experience Playa and its surroundings to the fullest. Please feel free to contact us at any time for whatever tips or information you need. Having recently lived there for an extended period we really know the ins and outs of the region and very much enjoy sharing what we know with you!
