We found this condo on the advice of a friend who has stayed at Plantation House a number of times. The owners, Joe and Francois, are both Canadian and wonderful to work with in booking and during our time there. We arrived to a quaint street in Playa Del Carmen tucked in between Playa Del Carmen Beach and 5th Ave. The architecture of this building is amazing and we were surprised to find out Joe had completed most of the work himself. We rented the Trinidad Suite (three of us) and were pleased with the openness and airy feeling of the condo. It was spacious for three people. The patio outside with a beautiful breeze allowed us to have all of our meals, at home, on the deck. We also had room to practice yoga each morning on the deck. The amenities within the condo were fabulous. Fresh water was supplied which is a big help in Mexico. We also had all the amenities to cook fabulous meals and keep our condo clean. The maid, Virginia was wonderful and came to clean every three days. She also is there on a daily basis to keep the condo complex (six condos) clean. To me cleanliness is a must and this place goes above and beyond. We didn't see any bugs, dirt etc. You also have your own washer to keep your beach towels clean and there is a dryer provided. The courtyard with pool was a lovely place to join newfound friends in the other condos. Plantation House is so relaxing and welcoming we thought we were in the Maritimes. We met so many wonderful renters from both Canada and the US. Joe, who was most helpful, is accessible at all times. He represents all that is good about Canadians and is a real gem as a host. He provides coupons for the restaurant across the street. If you do rent here, be sure to take him up on these coupons. The Breakfast is fabulous and you won't need to eat again until supper. Hakima is a massage therapist who offers massages in your condo. My girlfriend and I had the opportunity to have 90minutes massages. Hakima provides a real experience using many of her teachings from India in using rheki, massage and mindfulness throughout the 90mins. Be good to yourself and be sure to book one. Finally, this condo is close to everything you will need to enjoy Mexico. Joe provides chairs, umbrellas and beach towels to assist you in enjoying the beautiful beaches of Playa Del Carmen. You are one block walk to 5th Ave where you can shop till you drop, or take in some of the finest cuisine of Mexico and close to bars with great music. To say we had a great time was an understatement. We felt relaxed knowing our friends gave such high reviews of the owners and the complex. Having now experienced the Plantation House, we can now share their sediments. Ciao!
