About the host
Hosted by Laura Carmine

My husband, Terry, and I have been going to Playa del Carmen since 1993. We've been to beaches all over the world (Australia, France, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, etc) and Playa is my favorite beach town (I am a beach girl).
We fell in love early with Porto Playa Condo/Hotel because of the great design, beautiful landscaping, fabulous pools, and overall charm. It is the best location in Playa.
Since I started renting units in 2005 we (Marcela and myself) have made thousands of reservations for guests like us, and we love doing it. We believe in giving you what you want and live Our promises to you:
1. We respond to all emails within hours.
2. We want you to have the right property for your needs and desires even if it means renting you another unit (not ours) in any of our 5 properties: Porto Playa, Magia Beachside, El Taj Ocean, or Maya Villa.
3. We will be honest with you on any and all questions you may have.
4. We are committed to getting you the best rate we possibly can and can match the Property Management’s rate on all units in all 5 properties.
Our goal is for you to have a fabulous experience and come back again.
es to you:
Playa and Porto Playa are paradise. The address of Porto Playa is 1st Ave. and Calle 16.
Thanks

What makes this property unique
Porto Playa is usually ranked as one of the top 20 hotels in Playa del Carmen. No other property in Playa del Carmen has the amenities, the perfect location, the attentive staff or the architecture of Porto Playa and our sister properties: El Taj Ocean, El Taj Beach, Maya Villa and Magia Beachside
Porto Playa was awarded the Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor. Featuring a tropical architectural influence with 21 luxury units, Porto Playa is set in an oasis reminiscent of a rain forest. It has a very airy and open design inside a private sanctuary with lush tropical plants and flowers and gushing waterfalls. There is even a sun-drenched roof-top swimming pool the length of a city block and a second pool with two separate Jacuzzis.
Our condo has high ceilings, zoned air conditioning, ceiling fans in every room, full-sized appliances and large kitchens stocked with cookware, blender, toaster, coffee maker - everything you'd want to make you feel like it's yours and not a hotel room.. We have noodles in the condo for your use in the Gulf and/or the pool.
Couple of tips:
You don't need a car in Playa You only need a car if you want to go off-site for something. Even zip-lining comes and picks you up.
Playa is very European - half the tourists are American, the other half are a mix from all over the world: South America, Asia and Europe. It's fun to walk 5th or be eating a meal and hearing all the different accents. Lots of different types of restaurants.
You can walk to Wal-Mart or Mega from our condo-(6 blocks). I know how that might sound, but they are great stores with fresh food. We typically walk over there the first day (in the morning before it gets too hot), and buy fresh fruit, wine and snacks. We then have breakfast on our balcony. Before dinner we open up a bottle of wine and have drinks and snacks on the balcony.
