The owner of this place is aggressive and not professional. I post  pictures  and videos of the place not  being  safe and he accused me of not  living the place clean and for not understanding  the magnitude of the storm  we had  during my stay, ( I also record  a video of how I left the place clean ) . He needs to be accountable for the dangers  this may lead to the place falling apart. 
When I got there the place is deceiving from the pictures he's advertising, the place is old, rusty, dirty,  and falling apart literally.  this place have more reviews on Google of falling apart before the  storm and hiding camaras.  and is before the storm. My claim was that  I pay almost 2k to stay here since it offer a ocean view and a kitchen because of the storm and the place falling apart  I got transfer to another  dirty old unit and smaller  without  a ocean view  and a kitchen.  I ask for some partial  refund and he refused  and accused me of living the place dirty  and mention my Google review. Is obvious he got upset for my honest  opinion  but I understand not everyone knows how to run  a business  and most important  how to take care of people. 



DANGEROUS!

This pair of buildings is definitely showing it’s age. It’s functional, our studio with a balcony was comfortable for four nights, and the price was reasonable. The view from the balcony made it all worth it! If you’re not into night life, you might look to places further from the clubs as we could hear Coco Bongo and Kane. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rock is a fun place to catch sunrise.

All about this beach view!

There is essentially no better location in all of cancun. The building and rooms itself are very average, but it's offset by the view and distance to everything. It's also not wallet breaking. Overall, would recommend. 

Average leaning towards nice 

Stayed in an Airbnb here in the Carisa building.  The complex looks like it hasn’t been taken care of.  The front desk is something out of a “no-tell motel.”

The unit we had was not dirty, it’s just seen better days.  Again, it’s a condo so the issues we had there are an Airbnb issue.

The pool was extremely dirty our first day there and the beach offers some broken, ancient and heavy plastic chairs. 

The beach front itself is literally the only place in the hotel zone that has waves breaking in four different directions at the same time due to shoals, so swimming is in no way enjoyable there.  

The only advantage of this place is it’s right next to the nightlife of Cancun.  So, basically, if you can’t find a better place for Spring Break, this is your spot. 

Dilapidated buildings sitting on the only bad stretch of beach in Cancún

This place looks like it's condemned from the outside, and the entire building could use a complete overhaul!  The building is clean and secure and required a badge to go up on the elevator which is VERY small by the way.  Our first night there the building ran out of water so we were not able to shower after traveling until the next day. The apartments had old drapes at the window and were stained by the leaky air conditioning unit that we had to keep a bucket under to catch the condensation.  Our patio window had a very large crack in it from a previous guest that the owner Alex hasn't bothered to fix.  There was some type of electrical short in the light switch over the bathroom sink so randomly Alex or his "cousin" David had to come to beat on in order for the light to work.  The bathroom was so small you could barely close the door while sitting on the stool. The tennis court was a joke with alga all over and torn nets. 
The two positives about this condo would be the location in the hotel zone just a half block walk to the party scene and the location on the beach. Unless you plan your trip last minute like we did pick a better location to lay your head.  BTW each unit is individually owned so your experience may be different. Condo 402 was a bust but our trip was truly priceless!!! We have no pictures of the building because we were too embarrassed by it!

Condemned Condominios Unit 402

The place is close to the main street, where you can easily find places to eat and drink, and stores where buy souvenirs. I loved the position, in front of the beach. We were at the third floor, with an amazing view of the sea. The room was pretty small but nice. Some problem with the lights (some not working), and no space to eat if we cooked in the room. The kitchen is really tiny but suitable to cook easy plates. Check in and check out easy and pretty fast. I was pretty satisfied.

Departmento C. 601.2

Great value for the price paid, all photos on the Airbnb site are very accurate and the unit was very clean with all appliances being in good working order, very strong A/C which was of course a necessity with the summer heat and humidity. Check in was a breeze, the actual host was Valdemar but Antonio was our on site contact and was available for any questions or issues that may arise but everything was self explanatory so we really had no reason to contact him during our stay, other than a few general questions prior to our arrival about the area, transportation from the airport, etc. we had little contact with Valdemar but he was very quick to respond (within minuets) to the few questions that I did have, great private beach with umbrellas available for a small fee.

 A few things worth mentioning : It's important to know going in that the unit has a 5 star view, and a 5 star location, but it is NOT located in a 5 star facility with 5 star amenities. Each unit is individualy owned which clearly makes a difference our unit (503 - C) was clean, modern, and very well maintained which didn't look to be the case with a few of the others. The outside of the facility looks rather old, drab, and weather beaten. The facility is however gated and very safe, The pool is fine, water is clean and well maintained but the lounge chairs provided at both the pool and beach are of terrible quality, they are made of heavy hard plastic, very old, very beat up, non adjustable, and about as comfortable as sitting on concrete, we are sun worshipers and spend a great deal of time sun tanning each day and found it necessary to purchace some cheap lounge chairs at the local super market, then gave them away at the end of our stay.

 The unit has cable TV but there are no English stations, fortunately the unit has strong WIFI so we were able to stream morning and evening news etc. on our tablets. There are countless restaurants, shops, and clubs in the area, be prepared to pay tourist prices for everything, stay away from taxi's as they are ridiculously expensive and prices can change hour to hour depending on traffic conditions or simply by the whim of the driver, corruption at it's finest!!  For this reason, be sure to have your airport transportation both ways pre arranged and prepaid online before arrival as it will save you a lot of money. There are local bus stops in both directions that show up every few minuets right out front that can get you virtually anywhere you want to go in the area for 12 Pecos one way PP.

 Souvenir shops are everywhere, stay away from the flea market directly across the street, they are very aggressive, very dishonest, and will attempt to cheat you at every turn, much better deals to be had downtown. There is a 7/11 right next door for beer, booze, ice, snacks, etc. Two great restaurants in the area we highly recommend, Nutura's is to the left next to the XXOO store within easy walking distance, and Lorenzillo's also to the left 1.5 miles away.  - Cheers!

Airbnb unit 503.C, Great value for the price paid.

The view and the sounds of the ocean was the high point of this unit. it was not all bad had great WiFi, always had hot water. we cooked breakfast every day and all the appliances worked  the unit was in pretty good shape but the surrounding building is in need of lots of work. we rented chairs and umbrella down the beach on the days we were there

Stayed  14 days on the 4th floor it was an Airbnb

Stayed in Condo 401.3, oceanview in great location close to Cancun nightlife, bars, restaurants, shopping and grocery all in walking distance, excursions and taxi booth right at entrance. The highlight is the amazing view of the sea and Cancun hotel strip from balcony, especially when sliding doors are open. A/C worked well. Always hot water in shower. Very clean condo with very confortable beds. Kitchen is lacking a few basic necessities such as wine bottle opener, can opener, pasta strainer, dish towel, wine glasses, eating space for only 2 people. Condo is for 4 people but only plates, coffee cups, glasses, utensils for 3. Overall building is in bad shape, broken doors, missing lights around property, no door stoppers in hallways (doors slamming shut all night long due to wind), walls and doors not sound insulated (can hear everyone talking in halways and other rooms, woke us up at night several times). Property poorly maintained, lots of debris and trash laying around, did not see any property staff around the copmplex all week. Beach is OK, erosion from the sea created a 6 foot wall you have to climb down every time you go in the water. Only 3 Palapas on the beach that are decomposing, almost no shade areas, must wear footwear on the beach due to glass, bottle caps, cigarette butts and trash in the sand. There is a Tennis court but unusable due to poor condition, net hanging down to the ground and playing surface full of debris and flaking up. Pool is in the parking lot side of the complex with no view of the beach or sea, we did not use pool. Condo itself is OK but the rest of the experience was below expectations. Would not recommend and will not return.
