Luxury Lifestyle and Investment in a Playa del Carmen Condo – A Visit to The Fives Resort

Reviewing Playa del Carmen condo sales, I’ve noticed two important trends.  One is towards low-priced properties trading off services for price, while still maintaining quality; the other is towards luxury at its best, offering a complete services for an ideal beachfront lifestyle and high-return potential.

The Fives is one of the best examples of luxury investment in Playa del Carmen real estate.  Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting, and experiencing, this spectacular new condo-hotel resort.

From the point of view of a vacationer, and tried out, the following features of the resort:

4 High-quality Restaurants, including Japonese, Mediterranean, pizza and pasta, and a breakfast buffet.  Besides excellent, there was also a very well-designed atmosphere.

Very elegant condo units, which can be rented out as one large unit, or each room is also fully equipped to be separate hotel room.  These are among the best I’ve seen in Mexico condos.

3 very large pools, each with a swim-up bar.  One was directly at the patio door of the condo I stayed in.  Another is an infinity pool at the beach.

Kid’s club – Well, OK, it was really my kids who tried it.  But I did have a car race against my son on the video games.  There are play areas, learning centers, planned activities, an outdoor playground, and a staff of about 5 to 7 very professional young ladies who were excellent with the kids.  At one point, I started to suspect that the kids preferred to be with them.  While they were having a blast there, I relaxed on the beach, and enjoyed a romantic sushi dinner with my wife.

Excellent hotel services including valet parking, front door pick-up and drop-off, luggage handling (I never touched my bags, other than packing them, until I got back home,) and much more.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Lots of green space, with natural vegetation areas and plenty of trees for shade.  The walk to the beach, (which was short, but also had golf-cart service) was defined by a beautifully landscaped green area with a tennis court, a ping-pong table and a giant chess board.

All of these items are included in the all-inclusive package.  In addition, there is a very well designed beach club.  The club itself was not up-and-running yet, but was open and ready to go; since the resort is still new, I am sure this will be a very happening club very shortly.

As they noted in one of their promotional magazines I was browsing through, the luxury of this resort is above and beyond what vacationers expect from an all-inclusive.

For investors this is a really good thing; besides providing a very high quality of services, the hotelier which operates the vacation services, Karisma, has a strong international presence for promotion.

I do not believe that either vacationers or investors will be disappointed by what they find here.
