Why stay in a hotel when you can have a beautifully furnished condo for the same price or less. The Capri Condominiums were finished in March 2005 and bring a fresh, contemporary Italian architecture to the North end of Playa del Carmen. This small, quiet building is located just two minutes from the beach on 1st Avenue and 32nd Street, and only one block from the famous mile long 5th Avenue walkway.
This Capri condo provides you 1,200 square feet of ample living space, including a large living & dining area, two large bedrooms with ample closet space, two full-sized baths, a garage, and a wrap-around balcony that overlooks the natural beauty of Playa del Carmen.
About Playa del Carmen:
Only 35 Miles South of Cancun International Airport on Highway 307 lies the quaint and traditional town of Playa Del Carmen. Endless white sand beaches and dazzling aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea combine here with the charm of a traditional Mexican village to make Playa the perfect spot for sun seekers looking for Cancun's beauty without the hustle and bustle. The heart of Playa del Carmen is the bustling 5th Avenue (Avenida Quinta), a pedestrian walkway over a mile long. It is filled with shops of every description, restaurants of every nationality, hotels in every price range, and authentic Mexican hospitality. The south end of 5th Avenue leads to the ferry dock to Cozumel Island with ferries arriving and departing every 30 minutes for the 20 minute trip to the island. The north end of 5th Avenue brings more of an international flavor to Playa del Carmen as many European restaurants and hotels have opened in the past two years and the architecture has moved from traditional Mexican to a modern cosmopolitan atmosphere. Endless hours can be spent here lingering over a great meal, listening to the upbeat music, or just stopping by for a quiet drink. Only a block from the beach, 5th Avenue is in itself a destination point for many.
Playa means Beach, that's what Playa del Carmen is all about. The endless beaches in Playa del Carmen are a good place to meet people, especially around the Blue Parrot Hotel or Captain Tutix nightclub or on the North end along Mamita Beach. Most of the chairs are rental only, and many of the women are topless. Almost everyone has an Indonesian sarong which doubles as a beach towel. The beach bars with their swinging chairs and the Blue Parrot Fire Dancers attract a wide variety of beach lovers.
There are many side trips only 20 minutes to 2 hours away from Playa del Carmen that can satisfy the adventurous spirit. For example there are jungle tours, fishing trips, and many more adventures. Tje water spirits will like the dive centers of Tank-Ha and Sealife Divers, as well as deep-sea fishing, windsurfing and kite boarding. The historical and fascinating Mayan ruins at Tulum. are only an hour away. Xcaret and Xelha are great water parks for the whole family. You'll wish you had another week to see and do everything. |
