A great condo at a wonderful beach!

This is a fantastic place to stay! The condo is really well laid out. We had lots of room for my husband and I and our three older teens. The kitchen is well set up for cooking, and the beds and living space are very comfortable. The owner responds promptly and is very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful stay at playa del carmen/fisherman's Village

The beach front property was perfect for our group with age ranges from 23 to 80 yrs old. The beach was lovely, and pool was very nice. There were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas by the beach and pool. The condo was clean, roomy, and had a comfortable layout. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and small appliances. The friendly staff were helpful and attentive. The host provided detailed information that made our stay exceptional!

Right on the beach!

We loved staying at this property! We don’t like big crowds and prefer to eat locally vs at an all inclusive, so this was the perfect place for us. The beach was amazing. We were right on the water. The lifeguard was nice for younger kids. The pool bar was great for smoothies every day. The condo was spacious and nicely updated. The pool was warm and not busy at all. All the shops and a grocery store are within walking distance. Our favorite restaurant was el Fagon. Beautiful property with a great view of the ocean!

Another great stay at Fisherman’s Village

We had a group of 6, which was well accommodated by the unit. Kitchen was well- equipped. One patio fit 6 people comfortably and had great view of the ocean and pool. It was nice to have 3 full bathrooms and always had hot water for showers. AC worked well in the main portion of the condo and ceiling fans were nice to keep air moving. Easy walk to 5th Avenue with so many options for delicious food! Resort staff are very helpful. Host also provided thorough information about property, check in process and was easy to reach during our stay! My only suggestion would have been to have more hand towels available in the unit and better operating AC in the back unit- the AC worked, but wasn’t super cool and the fan ran constantly.

Great location and venue

We love Fisherman's Village -- it is a small resort right on the sand. Swimming pool overlooking the sand and ocean, great swim up bar, and wonderful little restaurant serving different menu every day. All around, a great experience.

Family Vacay

Great location with infinity pools next to the beach. Swimup bar and restaurants are poolside. The condo itself was nice size and fully equipped - with a couple of things that could be updated, but we loved it and would return. We had a couple of issues with our unit but they were handled promptly. The condo complex/resort is perfectly located and laid out. Every staff member we encountered was a pleasure to deal with. The resort itself could also use some upgrades (lots of missing tiles in the pool and some cosmetic touches) but as mentioned we would definately return.

Beach Volleyball

Our Spring break trip with the family was a success at Sunset Fisherman Village. It was a perfect location and easy to walk to the main town of 5th avenue where all the activities and restaurants were but with the added benefit of a quiet and peaceful resort. We loved the pool and beach volleyball. The ocean water was swimmable and walkable and quite beautiful. The only downside was the condo had no dish soap, dish sponge, or hand cloths in bathrooms. We ended up going to Walmart and purchasing a few of the basic items assumed to be in the condo upon arrival. A perk, the village staff will restock the water jugs for you. No need to go buy water for your stay. That was an added luxury. Although the walk to Walmart isn't bad, I would recommend getting a taxi on your return so you don't have to walk back with all your bags of food. (Also bring your own grocery bags with you. Mexico does not provide them unless you purchase their recyclable ones.) I probably will check out other condos at Sunset since this unit's 3rd bedroom is a glorified closet with a full sized bed AND in the master bedroom suite...would not have rented if we had known this since we like our privacy as any couple would be couldn't since our teen was sleeping in the "3rd bedroom". If you have young children, then this odd 3rd bedroom won't be so bad. Overall, a great spot to land for a week.

Great small resort

We have stayed at Fisherman’s many times. The resort is great if you like a smaller feel (which we do), but it is starting to show its age. The location can’t be beat with its 20 minute walk into town. And we always feel very safe in the neighborhood and at the resort. The apartment we stayed in was equipped with everything we needed for the week. We especially loved that a large 5-galling water jug was included in our stay so we didn’t have to haul in a case of water. The rooms are a good size and was more than adequate for our family of 5 to spread out. The larger bedrooms had ceiling fans. The smaller room (more like a large closet with a bed) did not have one, but we were able to locate a small fan in one of the bedrooms and use that for air flow in the smaller room. The apartment has two balconies and the one off the master was our favorite to sit and listen to the ocean while reading a book after we had had our fill of sun for the day. It had a nicely padded loveseat that was quite comfortable. There are several TVs in the apartment, though with so much to do outside, we never used them. But they would have been nice had we had a rainy day during our stay.

This property is in a guarded community and right on the beach with great food. The employees are really nice too. We had a wonderful visit. This was our 4th time to visit this resort. The room had a lot of cooking supplies & small appliances and we cooked many meals this time. If you’re looking for a place to relax with friends or family this definitely is the place.

BEAUTIFUL RESORT, BAD OWNER/MANAGER

PROS: the resort is right on the beach and it really is a great beach. The water is warm, not too deep, clean and very safe to swim in. The locals are kind and helpful. The resort area feels extremely safe, as does the town itself. There are great restaurants everywhere. CONS: The only issues we had was with the owner and property manager. Upon arriving in the unit, there was wet paint dripping from the ceiling on to the kitchen countertop. In the bathroom sink area, there was a cabinet door broken off of its hinges leaning against the wall. In addition, there was a broken lamp on the end table in the master bedroom, a broken bathroom toilet handle, no water pressure in the showers due to clogged shower spouts and the toilets never completely flushed. We let the owners know about these issues immediately and their response was puzzling. They accused us of leaving the sliding doors open while running the air conditioner, which in turn, created condensation which caused the paint to drip. We were also accused of opening locked drawers and cabinets and removing, among other things, kids toys (our "kids" are adults. On the fourth day, (after having reported these issues on the first day) the manager showed up and told us everything was repaired. He then informed the owners that it was us who caused the issues to happen in the first place. The owners sided with the manager and even though the toilets continued to clog, we decided it wasn't worth the aggravation to complain.

Fabulous resort for your family

We loved Fishermans! We were familiar with the resort as we have rented many homes in Playacar. The service is phenomenal and the staff so helpful. We enjoyed the food as well. Very easy to keep track of little ones as well. Our grandsons loved the experience and we look forward to booking many vacations at Fishermans.

Awesome Place! Highly Recommend!

Max was so helpful and responsive👍. Beautiful & peaceful property, right on the beach, 2nd floor. Looks like they did a fresh remodel w new furniture in living and dining room. Pool was clean, and staff was friendly and helpful. There was sargassum on all Playa beaches, but once you swam past 15 yards, the water cleared, and if you swim to the sandbar...the turquoise and clarity were amazing to play in! Condo was clean, and everything was as expected. The property also had unexpected free social events over Spring Break...live music, exercise/yoga, salsa lessons, cooking class; none of which were advanced, just an easy mixer to meet other guests.

Nice condo. Perfect for family, friends or an extended stay. Great communication from the property owner which made the check-in process easy. Owner offered great suggestions about restaurants and activities in the area. If you don’t feel like cooking, you can purchase an all-inclusive package from the resort.
