Maya Sol

Imagine a rooftop pool, warm every month of the year, open-air under the palms, quiet enough at sunrise that all you hear is the breeze off the terrace. Your first swim can happen before the day has started. The pool is a short elevator ride up from your second-floor apartment and shared with the other guests staying in the building. Downstairs, your full induction kitchen is built for real cooking, not reheating — stove, blender, microwave, and a coffee and tea station with complimentary Oaxacan coffee, some of the best in Mexico. Playa's newest and largest Chedraui is a 15-minute walk, so one stock-up covers fresh fish, produce, and a bottle of mezcal for the week. Evenings settle in fast here: fiber-optic WiFi that holds a video call, a 32-inch Smart TV with the Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ apps ready for your login, a queen bed under blackout curtains, full air conditioning. 98% of guests rated their sleep 10 out of 10 — part of 2000+ perfect stays (5 and 10 star reviews) across our online platforms. The 1-Bedroom Premium Apartment sleeps up to 4 across a queen bed and a sofa bed; the sofa bed comfortably sleeps one adult or two kids. The Duplex Apartment is two fully private units, each with its own entrance, queen bed, sofa bed, and full induction kitchen — built for two groups who each want their own space. The minibus stop is 10 minutes on foot, and a 20-minute ride from there puts dozens of freshwater cenotes near Cancun and Tulum within reach at local prices — no rental car, no tour bus. The beach and 5th Avenue are both a 10-to-15-minute walk. A laundromat next door means a long stay never costs you a vacation day. Every stay carries exclusive rates at Xcaret, Xel-Ha, vetted tours, and Martina Beach Club, plus insider guides most visitors spend two days assembling.

You'll be staying in one of Playa del Carmen's quietest residential pockets — calm that puts you in the top 25% of the city. Downtown noise doesn't reach this far. Sleep with the windows open if you want to. This is a real residential street in Zazil-Ha, not a tourist strip, and the beach and 5th Avenue are both a 10-to-15-minute walk when you want them. Playas 38, 72, and 88 — all Blue Flag beaches — sit within that same walk. Playa's newest and largest Chedraui is 15 minutes on foot, home to the best bakery and wine selection in town; the smell of fresh coffee and pan dulce in the morning is worth the trip on its own. The ADO terminal and the Cozumel ferry are both 20 minutes out, so the whole Yucatan opens up without a rental car — Tulum in an hour, Akumal's turtle bay in 30 minutes, Chichen Itza a full day. Your Sunday Bazaar is 3 minutes from the door: grilled tacos, fresh mariscos, produce, the smell of it reaching you before the stalls come into view. Locals shop there every week. Most tourists never find it.
