Best Location! Beautiful, spacious, and private penthouse 1 block to Mamitas!

Spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse condo one block from Mamitas open for reservations!

This spacious penthouse condominium is truly the most beautiful in Magic Paradise. With its lofted ceilings and sculptured staircase, you will enjoy the feeling of home without the worries of a larger residence. Just 100 steps from Mamitas, considered by many to be one of the best Caribbean beaches, and one block from the upscale part of the Quinta Avenida, there is something here for everyone.

The location of this condominium truly could not be better. Although right in the heart of the best part of Playa, you will find that this quiet, immaculate, and safe home provides a sense of seclusion. Located on the top floor of the newest building in the complex, this penthouse condominium has a spacious rooftop patio, private entrance, with no one walking by to interrupt your privacy.

The large, brightly lit, spacious living room is connected to a well stocked, complete kitchen with everything you will need if you wish to cook. If not, you are steps away from some of the best international and haute Mexican cuisine in the complex itself and a block away at the world renowned Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue).

This three bedroom, three bathroom condo is truly divine. The upstairs master bedroom has one king-size bed, the large downstairs bedroom has two double beds, and the guest room has a queen bed with a private balcony. All bedrooms have comfortable beds, hotel quality bedding, and full private bathrooms. Both full and single-sized futons are available for extra guests.

After a day visiting the pyramids, shopping, or enjoying the incomparable healing turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean, settle in for a soak in the private jacuzzi on the large roof top solarium. The solarium, which is divided into three large private areas, also features a gas-grill barbeque, a shaded area with hammocks and plants for relaxing and reading, and an area with a beautiful large round stone round table for dining or just stargazing and at the wonders of playa living.

We are now managed by Globalia. This condominium is family owned and cared for and you will feel right at home. If there is anything you need, just call our English-speaking representatives Rodrigo and Carlos, who will make sure that your time in Playa meets your every expectation. Magic Paradise has a 24 hour security guard and handy man. Let go, relax and come to Paradise-It's Magic!

A piece of Paradise

This place has it all, from everything you need for a meal at home or beach chairs and accessories to spend the day with your toes in the sand. Centrally located near Mamitas Beach and 5ta Avenida, this spot is ideal to check out the beaches or cruise the shops and restaurants. You'll love your stay here as my family did.

Spacious and great location

This was my first time visiting playa del carmen and I am glad I found this place. The condo was clean, spacious and the location is great. We were close to the beach, shopping and much more, all within walking distance. I also like the fact that the condo is completely gated that made me feel safe.

Vacation stay

Property location is perfect. Close to the beach and close to town. Never met the manager of the property, but he was really good in communicating through whatsup. No car needed if you stay in town. 5th street can be pricey, but there are side streets with good food and not as expensive. Condo is equipped with beach chairs easy to carry and other things that we did not have to use. AC is working well, and there was extra big jags of water left for us in the condo.

The location is AMAZING. Great proximity to the beach, shops & restaurants. The unit has a vey musty odor that is not recitifiable with Lysol, candles ...or anything. The roof deck, jacuzzi & outdoor areas are not usuable. The linens are stained, old and quite frankly sketch. I really love this place but buyer beware the pictures abosultlety do not depict what you are getting into.

Wonderful Stay

We had a great stay at Britt's condo. We had 6 people and a baby with plenty of room to spare. It is walking distance to all the shopping, eating and drinking that you could imagine. But I would also recommend renting a van or car like we did, so that you can drive yourself to Tulum or some of the other sights because there is lots to do in the area. The condo has gated parking and the streets and freeways are very well maintained and safe. . . but watch out for the giant speed bumps. Overall was a very memorable vacation with family and friends. Thanks again Britt!

Great host

Absolutely everything about this apartment was great. The location is very good, a 2 minute walk to a good beach, a 1 minute walk to the main street, a 5 minute walk to a big shop, a small shop in front of the house. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. Great kitchen with cooking utensils, there were even surfboards and beach toys for the kids. Great small pool in the garden. The communication with the host was excellent, the property manager Carlos was very helpful, we ordered the transfer and excursions through him, everything went exactly as we agreed. If we were to travel to the same city again, we would definitely stay at the same accommodation.

Excellent Location - Beautiful, Spacious Apartment

We travel regularly to Playa and have stayed in a variety of hotels and apartments/houses over the years. This location was second to none, and it will be top of my list for future visits. The apartment itself was very quiet with plenty of space (the photos represent the rooms exactly) and for a larger group the different indoor/outdoor seating areas would be perfect. During the day it was just a few steps to the two fabulous beach clubs at Mamitas and Kool (we preferred the latter), it was easy for shopping, and at night close to some of the best restaurants and bars. This trip we discovered John Grey's Place and had some of the best food ever! I would certainly recommend this apartment if you want to be in the centre of things, but like the option to come home to a quiet and comfortable sanctuary.

A great value with excellent location

This is a great place to rent for a group of people to be centrally located. So very convenient to 5th Avenue and the beach. Would easily stay here again or recommend. However - it’s a tad outdated (but who stays in the condo when you are a block from the beach. It would have been nice to know which a few of the accessories we’ve grown accustomed to having were not there (soap, shampoo, first day snacks/coffee)… but there is a 7 eleven right across the street. And to be honest the value was so good, really can’t expect to have everything! It was also a little confusing to initially find the place. The address is kind of hidden. But once you find it, it’s great!!!!

We stayed here for six weeks, it is wonderful! If you are worried about renting in Mexico and not having anyone to call in case you need them, worry no more. The Rios family and friends will make sure you are well taken care of and the owners are avaliable all the time. We had guests from ages 1 year(our daughter) to my mother 70! And many ages in between and everyone was happy here. And everyone could walk to where they were happy. The beach is so close and stores and wonderful restaurants are also a few steps away. The condo is so spacious, at one point there was seven of us and between the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large rooftop areas there was plenty of space for everyone. Playa del Carmen is a wonderful place for everyone of all ages. VIVA MEXCIO GRACIAS RIOS FAMILY!!!

Great get away!

Casa Rios is a fabulous place for a get away! It is exactly how it’s described! We had Carlos arrange our ride from the airport and he had someone there holding a sign with my name on it by the Margaritaville bar right outside and down to the right. When we arrived at the condo the gal opened the security gate and escorted us to the condo. She does not speak English, she just leaves. We contacted Carlos and he came and showed us how to turn lights on and gave us the gate and door codes. This is a very secure building. You get a parking space in the locked lot right there. The rooftop patio is a great place to hang! The spa works now, we bought a new plug so it holds water, not heated though. The beach and 5th Ave. are one block away! Definitely go on the sailing trip to Isla Mujeres, so much fun! Thank you Britt and Carlos!

Location was convenient to the beach and fifth Street for restaurants in choices to eat

The plus of this unit was having three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The phone contact I had with Britt was very helpful and understanding where the location was and suggested restaurants The property managers were friendly greeting us. The negatives about this unit. The elevator did not work, and from what I was told from other people, it hasn’t worked for quite some time and it doesn’t look like it will be fixed anytime soon. It’s quite a few steps to get up to the unit. The rooftop area has nothing to look at -multiple buildings, no view of the ocean at all. Many places inside the unit has tripping hazards. Small rises in floor areas, somewhat dangerous, especially near some of the bathrooms.

Perfect location in Playa del Carmen

We stayed as 5 adults and 4 teens in this wonderful penthouse. Lots of room & bathrooms for everyone. We had two adults in the upstairs bedroom with full bath, 2 in main floor bedroom with ensuite, 4 teens in the two double bed rooms with full bathroom down the hall. The nice thing is there's a heavy wood door that closes off the hall to the teens room/bathroom so it keeps their noise down :) Very cool top floor patio for mornings and evenings. The best thing is the location, close to the beach, 5th Ave, 7-eleven across the street for snacks, ice etc. Close to many great restaurants and far enough away from the noise of 5th. We had a bit of a struggle finding it as I had forgot my paper with the codes to get in, but after calling Carlos he was there in 5 min. to get us in and settled. One helpful suggestion would be to send a Google pin for the location, and maybe setup a WhatsApp connection the day before arrival. There is a gate at the entrance of the parking with a code to get in. The parking is in the courtyard near the pool. We felt very safe and secure the whole time, and would let the younger teens stay by themselves if we went out providing they stayed within the gate. We had one hiccup with the water boiler going out but Carlos had that fixed right away. He was very responsive to any needs we had, like more water, toilet paper etc. Excellent service. All in all, it's a great find and we will be looking at renting it again in the future.

It's all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Three of us, all in our 60's, stayed at Casa Rios the first week of July, 2014. What a wonderful experience we had! It is located within short walking distance of all of the wonderful shops and dining along Quinta Avenida. The condo is on the interior of the complex so it is very quite even when the bar scene is going strong on the streets below. We were there when the World Cup semi-finals were going on and the entire place was rocking, but we were secluded from that. The furnishings in the condo were very comfortable, clean, and appropriate. Not too fancy where you felt like you couldn't relax, but just nice enough for you to feel on "vacation" in a special place. The kitchen and dining areas are smaller than most villas we have stayed in but we did not have any issues since there were just three of us. Plus, with all of the great restaurants within walking distance, we ate out a lot! We found that the beds were very comfortable. We did have some issue with water pressure in one of the bathrooms on the lower level but nothing we could not deal with as there were other showers available that we could use. Upon our arrival, the air conditioners were not working properly but the property manager quickly got someone over that evening to take care of it and within a few hours everything was working fine. The solarium upstairs with the jacuzzi and the rooftop area was a nice retreat area after a day of scuba or snorkling. The pool at Magic Paradise is very small (it is called a plunge pool) so if you are one to sit around the pool all day this is not what you want. The pool was pristine and cool, so it served its purpose for our group. Marmitas Beach is right down the road from the condo if you want to enjoy the beach and ocean. We rented a car at the airport, and found the 40 minute drive from Cancun to Playa to be easier than we expected. We were glad that we had a car, but really even if you don't you will still have a great time on Quinta Avenue and the immediate surrounding area. There is a Mega Store and a Walmart close by for your shopping needs. The owner of the property, Britt, was super nice to work with and communicated in a very timely manner when I had any question at all. And again, the on-site property manager was very efficient with handling problems but for the most part left us alone to enjoy our time in Playa. I would HIGHLY recommend the Casa Rios property if you are looking for a comfortable home in a great location.

Nice place with plenty of room

We enjoyed our stay. The house is not quite as polished as it looks in the picture, but it was still nice and had all of the things pictured. The elevator did work when we were there (previous reviews said it was broken, but not any more). There is a lot of space, & the common room is spacious & open. There are two balconies on the 1st floor that look out at the parking & pool, one in a bedroom, one out of the living room. We loved the 3 levels of patios up top. You can technically see the sea from the top patio, but it's a sliver. Even so, I really enjoyed sitting up there- being on a roof top patio, looking out at the tops of buildings. There was plenty of parking, & a person sits inside the gate at night keeping an eye out. The house if very quite. Even though there are two area hotels that have music going most the day from their rooftop pool/bar areas (they got quieter around 10 and turned off by 11 or 12), we couldn't hear it at all from inside. There was a lot of items for use in the kitchen, though the pans had seen some better days. There was a jug of water and a dispenser for clean water and ice trays in the freezer. There is a box with all kinds of beach items, & the beach is super close. The super close beach is busy! But, we found that there are a handful of publicly accessed beaches right in town, and then everything else is only accessed via private areas (either hotels or fancy communities) so it makes sense that it's busy. The kids used the pool. It's on the small side, and doesn't get very deep, but is well maintained and wasn't busy. There are AC units in each bedroom and in the living room so the house temperature was good. They do ask that you turn them off when you leave, which I was worried would mean it would take a long time to cool back down, but they work fast and it wasn't a problem. There are stairs leading to the front door (after getting to the upper floor where the door is), stairs to the bedroom with the bedroom with a king bed, and to get to the patios (two flights if you want to be at the top patio) so if stairs are an issue for you this might not be the place for you. I rated the check in at a 4 because it's not self-check in, but we knew that going in. We arrived late and the property manager couldn't meet us, so the security guard helped us get in. It meant we didn't get the full tour and low down on how everything worked, but the property manager was responsive to all of our questions.

My experience at casa rios

La casa está muy bonita y muy bien ubicada cerca de la playa, la cocina tiene todo lo necesario para cocinar, pero cuando entramos, no habían hecho la limpieza y todo estaba sucio, hablamos con el property manager y fueron a limpiarlo, el aire de una recamara no servía, y lo tuvieron que cambiar por uno nuevo, pero estubimos 2 noches sin aire. El aire de la sala estaba tirando agua y por la mañana había un gran charco y tuvieron que arreglarlo, una tarde se fue la luz y le hablamos al property manager y rápido lo solucionaron pero vino el agua y se fue la luz! Que también arreglaron rápidamente. Era para dar risa, ya me daba pena con el property manager, tuvimos muy mala suerte esos 9 dias que estubimos ahí, aún así le doy 4 estrellas de 5
