Renters beware.
Property Manager non responsive in timely manner. 2am and not at all.
BED BUGS FOUND IN CONDO
No hot water second night
No water at all on the third night
Says has gated security is just a guy that raises and lowers a pole no questions asked.
Sliding door did not lock at all. Easy access for anyone.
Owner initially refused any refund but finally got one nights funds refunded.
Unpleasant experience
Manager response: ( With renter response to each item in parenthesis). Be advised these are the owner responses and not the condo on sight manager.
-At the check in no issue was noticed by you, so the apartment was delivered in perfect conditions. (Very quick walk through with condo manager no time for us to check absolutely everything. Who does).
-There was hot water all the time, the second day the heater was shut down at the check in it was working properly, in 10 seconds it was lighted on by the property manager. ( Was working at check in. Stopped second night. Text and call manager no response until 2am in morning via text. Had to wait till 8am to show up and we wanted a very early start that day).
-There is 24 hours security, it is false it is just one guy opens the door. As you know at the check in that guy was informed that you were renting the apartment, so this is the reason because that guy did not ask any time you came in, as he knew who you were. Nobody from outside can enter in without an identification. ( This is completely false. From first time entered gate was opened with out question to us if staying there or what condo number)
-Bed bugs? As said before you did not notice any bed bugs at the check in. They appear in the second night? Where were they in the first night?. (Kids passed out on couch first night so we did not move them to bed. Second night when covers pulled down is when bugs discovered. Was same night as hot water going out so see above about response time. This was only remedied by changing sheets and we were told was ok now. Bed bugs live in the bed not the sheets thus called bed bugs. Mattress has to be destroyed and new purchased. We did check other beds and thankfully not found. Owner later says we could have asked for different condo of course this was after we arrived back to home in US.
And no response to the zero water we did not have on the third night with now response at all from on sight manager. Ended up having to buy a lot of water at Walmart to warm up and use to get clean as we had a 7am flight the next morning. Could not clean or do any dishes as well.
Also no response to the sliding door that had absolutely no locking mechanism what so every. Very huge security issue.
Over all Playa del Carmen awesome place to visit, but would not recommend this condo. read more
