Neighbourhood highlights

Our apartments are ideally located just a 5-minute stroll from Playa Fundadores — Playa del Carmen’s most iconic beach. Enjoy crystal-clear Caribbean waters, a welcoming atmosphere, and frequent cultural performances and community events. Best of all, this award-winning public beach is completely free to enjoy. The ADO Bus Terminal is only one block away, and the Cozumel Ferry Terminal is just two blocks away — making arrivals, departures, and island day trips effortless.

You’ll experience the best of both worlds: peaceful privacy at home, yet steps from the vibrant energy of Fifth Avenue and the tourist center. Restaurants, nightlife, and shopping are right at your doorstep.

Daily essentials are easy and convenient. Fresh fruit stands, local produce vendors, and convenience shops are within walking distance, while a full-service supermarket is only about a 15-minute walk away.

The neighborhood is rich with authentic local flavor — surrounded by family-run taco stands, fresh seafood spots, and affordable eateries loved by locals.

If you’re seeking a peaceful, authentic stay close to the beach and all the must-see spots in Playa del Carmen, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’d love to host you.

My work: Founder Entrepreneur
Most useless skill: most of my skills are useful?
IN A DIFFERENT LIFE I found myself chained to a desk as a salaryman. In this life, I have travelled, immersed and experienced over 20 countries. Over 20 cultures. Over 20 different beautiful cultures. And yet the more I see, the more I realize that we are all the same. FROM MY EXPERIENCE one must filter the noise and distractions to fully capture the essence of the land and her people. To get quiet. In Latin America and very much so in Mexico, I find the locals who seek this essence, express the same sentiment when they find it. "MUY TRANQUILO" translates to very calm. Peaceful. Quiet. Relaxed. Tranquilo is I want you to experience in your stay. I pride myself on providing tremendous value to your 5-star experience. 2 TYPES OF TRAVELERS where one type is those who want to stay in hotels or resorts. The other type is those who like to feel at home in a new place. Being an avid traveller in over 20 countries, I personally understand and appreciate what one would and should want when arriving at a new destination. To feel at home in Playa Del Carmen. Do you like to feel at home during your visit? I hope that you choose me to prove this to you and provide everything you want for your 5-star tranquil home in Playa Del Carmen. Please feel free to contact me if I have missed anything.
