What our guests say

“Wonderful stay. Great location out of the mix but an easy enough walk/taxi into town. The bed is wonderful, hot shower, and equipped kitchen. The team is wonderfully accommodating and I would definitely stay here again.”

Maegan · Airbnb

“Great location outside the touristy areas of Playa del Carmen, close to a beautiful beach and easy to walk or bike into the busier areas. Had a great stay.”

Nina · Airbnb

“Very cozy and super clean apartment! The hosts were incredibly kind and attentive. There was already internet, but when I mentioned I needed a stronger connection for work, they installed an extra modem the same day.”

Arina · Airbnb

“This place is truly amazing. From the moment I arrived, the hosts went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and stress-free.”

About us

Muy tranquilo

There is a word that keeps coming up across Mexico. You hear it in the market, on the beach, in the conversations of locals who have found something most travellers spend their whole trip searching for. Muy tranquilo — very calm, peaceful, quiet, relaxed. I hand-picked the properties and locations in Playa del Carmen that I believe best connect you with local culture and experience. Mexico is beautiful. Her people and her culture even more so.

Al pastor, birria, the stand with no sign and a line out front. We'll point you there — some come with a guest discount.

Explorer couple riding a scooter past a Playa del Carmen road sign

Scooter or bike, guest rate

The reef, without the upsell

Mesoamerican Barrier Reef dives and Cozumel crossings at discounted guest rates — no timeshare pitch attached.

Xcaret & Xel-Há, guest pricing

Cenote rivers, jungle trails, the parks everyone asks about — booked at exclusive rates through us, not the resort desk.

Frequently asked questions

Are there vacation rentals available in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico?

Yes — Tranquilo Vacation Rentals manages 22 properties across three Playa del Carmen neighbourhoods: Uva De Mar in Centro, Mayalun in Zazil-Ha, and Casitas in Colosio. Every stay books direct, no OTA fees.

Are there vacation rentals available in Riviera Maya, Mexico?

Yes — all of our properties sit in Playa del Carmen, the heart of the Riviera Maya, within 15 minutes of 5th Avenue and the Caribbean Sea.

Is Tranquilo Vacation Rentals a property management company?

No — and that's the actual difference. A management company works for absentee owners it may never meet. Tranquilo owns and manages its own 22 properties: Rudy has stood in every kitchen and knows every cleaner by name. We don't manage listings for anyone else.
