Our piece of paradise is Villas Sacbe Unit 10, a luxurious 3-story penthouse in an intimate group of 12 condominiums located in the heart of Playa del Carmen, about 25 meters from the most enchanting portion of Fifth Avenue and 50 meters from the beach. That beach is nearly perfect for children and adults alike--gradually sloping white sand with gentle waves in the turquoise water. Our unique architecture includes 2-story windows overlooking the central courtyard and swimming pool, curved walls and open spiral staircases, and a palapa roof over the third bedroom. There are three lower terraces overlooking 1st Avenue, but the best outdoor area is the large private rooftop terrace with a plunge tub, a wet bar and small gas grill, and turquoise views of the Caribbean Sea. We gravitate to the custom kitchen island for food and drink, especially breakfast and lunch. And for happy hour with wine or margaritas, and fresh homemade guacamole and salsa with chips. Our kitchen is well equipped for preparing full dinners as well as lighter meals, with full-size stainless steel gas stove and oven. Chef service is available, too, but we take most meals at restaurants. The living room provides comfortable seating for 8, and is equipped with cable TV, DVD, and stereo. Two bedrooms are located on the lower floor. There is a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, which of course has a private bathroom.
The master bedroom is equipped with cable TV and DVD. The second bedroom has two twin-sized beds that can be made up as a king, and has virtually private use of the hallway bathroom. The third bedroom is a loft above the rooftop terrace that has a double bed and a small balcony with the best view in Villas Sacbe. It uses the bathroom on the main (middle) floor. Finally, the sectional couch in the living room can be used to sleep two, if desired, either in two twin beds or a king. But my favorite sleeping spot is under the sun on the rooftop terrace. If I get hot I step into the plunge tub. Visit our piece of paradise. You may never leave.
