WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING
“This stay was the best Airbnb booking I've ever had! Rudy prepared the check-in so thoroughly and took videos to ensure nothing could go wrong. Rolando arranged an earlier check-in for me, and both were immediately available with all the necessary feedback. Rudy also made a video to describe the area and help find all the places. I've never encountered such an organized approach anywhere. I was so happy; it was almost like a treasure hunt following Rudy's video to explore the area. You did such a fantastic job and impressed me beyond words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will recommend you everywhere and, of course, book with you again next time! Keep up the good work; you're setting such a good example for everyone! SUPER MEGA HOST!!!!” (Nicole, Fellbach, Germany)

From the host
Two Blue Flag beaches sit under 15 minutes on foot — Punta Esmeralda and Playa 88. Blue Flag is the international standard for water quality and safety; fewer than 1% of the world's beaches hold it. Punta Esmeralda alone is CIFPlayas' #1-ranked beach in Mexico, 3rd best urban beach in Latin America — free to enter, calm water, a cenote on-site, 8 minutes on foot.
The minibus stop is 10 minutes from your door — from there, dozens of freshwater cenotes across the Yucatan corridor, no tour operator taking a cut. The ADO terminal is 30 minutes on foot: Tulum in 1 hour, Cancun and Cozumel airports from there. You will not need a car.
The street runs on local reputation. The market 8 minutes away opens at 7am — fresh produce, prices that make no concession to tourism. La Quinta is 20 minutes on foot: restaurants, bars, the full Playa del Carmen evening. The noise stays there, not here.

Meet your host
Where I went to school: University of Toronto
My work: Founder Entrepreneur
IN A DIFFERENT LIFE
I found myself chained to a desk as a salaryman. In this life, I have travelled, immersed and experienced over 20 countries. Over 20 cultures. Over 20 different beautiful cultures. And yet the more I see, the more I realize that we are all the same.
FROM MY EXPERIENCE
one must filter the noise and distractions to fully capture the essence of the land and her people. To get quiet. In Latin America and very much so in Mexico, I find the locals who seek this essence, express the same sentiment when they find it.
"MUY TRANQUILO"
translates to very calm. Peaceful. Quiet. Relaxed. Tranquilo is I want you to experience in your stay. I pride myself on providing tremendous value to your 5-star experience.
2 TYPES OF TRAVELERS
where one type is those who want to stay in hotels or resorts. The other type is those who like to feel at home in a new place. Being an avid traveller in over 20 countries, I personally understand and appreciate what one would and should want when arriving at a new destination. To feel at home in Playa Del Carmen. Do you like to feel at home during your visit? I hope that you choose me to prove this to you and provide everything you want for your 5-star tranquil home in Playa Del Carmen.
Please feel free to contact me if I have missed anything.
