OPAL SUITES APARTMENTS, Playa del Carmen

The property sits in the heart of Playa del Carmen, with a location score of 9.2. The ADO International Bus Station and Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal are both within easy reach. Kool Beach Club is 800 metres away. A 7-Eleven and a supermarket are a 3-minute walk, and numerous restaurants - including Birria Tacos y Consome and La Arrozeria - are within 0.3-0.5 km. The area is quiet, so street noise is minimal, yet the 5th Avenue nightlife and tour meeting points are conveniently close. Free private parking is available on site (no reservation needed), and the parking garage is secured by a guard.

All apartments feature a private entrance, air conditioning, a seating area, flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a bath or shower, and a hairdryer. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, oven, kitchenware, electric kettle, and dining area; a coffee machine and a water dispenser are also provided. A washing machine is included. Two-bedroom units offer two bathrooms - one en-suite to the master bedroom and the other between the guest room and living room - and some have a spacious terrace or balcony. The apartments are well-furnished and clean, with the studio size described as more than sufficient for two. Road-facing rooms can be avoided to ensure complete quiet; apart from that, the building is described as very tranquil.

The fifth-floor rooftop is the leisure hub of the building. It features a swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, a gym, and a sauna (free of charge). A large electric grill and smoker are available in the outdoor kitchen, with plenty of tables and chairs for evening dining. The rooftop is often quiet in the evenings, providing a relaxed atmosphere. Access to the gym is allowed between 8 am and 8 pm.

The property offers free high-speed Wi-Fi (30-50 Mbps) throughout, suitable for remote work. Parking is free and secure: a private garage at the bottom of the building, with access controlled by a 24-hour guard. A laundry room on the fifth floor (open 07:00-21:00) has washing machines and dryers; detergent is not included. Airport shuttle round trips can be arranged on request (2600-2900 pesos, subject to change). A concierge service is available for tours, transportation, and requests such as cribs (availability-dependent). The 24-hour front desk supports late arrivals and provides general assistance. Accepted payment methods are Visa and MasterCard. No restaurant or breakfast service is provided on site, which explains the extra value of the fully equipped kitchen in each apartment.
