Aldea Thai Playa del Carmen(Aldea Thai by OceanFront)

We rented a condo from Playa Moments. The Check in was easy and communication was timely. Condo was clean, it needed some tlc but wasn't my job to fix it, so it was easy to overlook and enjoy my time. Aldea Thai is a great complex, Common areas are well kept and clean. Location is good, 1/2 block from Aldea Thai's entrance is Playa Mamitas beach. And on either side are two of the best beach clubs. Mamitas beach club and Coralina's Daylight club. On the same block you have a 7-11, Oxxo, El Patio restaurant, Freshy Fish, Subway, and 2 massage places. Two blocks away is Quinta Avenida(5th Ave). with all of it's dining and shopping options. The swim up bar is run by El Patio restaurant across the street, serving great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Pizza, Milanesa(chicken or beef),and the must try Empanadas ( Criolla, Chipotle Chicken, and Northern meats) We had all of these options and everything was delicious. At the swim up bar you will find Pablo. Who takes your food order runs around the pool down the front stairs and across the street to El Patio and back with a smile on his face and a "no problem it's my job attitude". While still being our go to Guy for Info on PDC, my very patient spanish tutor, who even let our 18yo niece be DJ for a couple of hours much to the displeasure of some of the other guests I'm sure, lol. I can't express how much Pablo added to our enjoyment of this complex.

Booked via *********** but our review is not published for some reason. upon arrival Gerard told us that there needs to be talked about payment since they do not accept creditcards. The information on *********** is wrong and we were forced to pay in a different way. We rented the penthouse with private pool but the place is in so many ways broken and not looked after. Broken fridge/microwave/hairdryer/door/.... There is mould in 1 of the bathrooms. The airco is so loud it is impossible to sleep, ..... My photos won't upload so I can't show you in what bad shape the place is for the price you are paying. But I would not recommend this place. If you want to book anyways, I do hope you have better experience than we had.
