Three floors, a backyard pool, and a rooftop jacuzzi in a gated community near the schools and shops of central Playa del Carmen. That's the day-to-day of this 5-bedroom home in Bosques de Bambú Catario.

The ground floor runs on an open plan. Living, dining, and a fully equipped kitchen with pantry and breakfast bar share one continuous space, with sliding glass doors that open the whole room to the backyard. Mornings start at the bar with the doors already wide, because the backyard faces east and catches the early light. A guest bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and a flexible room (currently set up as an office) round out the level. The 3,444 sq ft of construction leaves room for a large family, or a buyer who needs workspace.

The backyard is sized for actual use. A private swimming pool sits behind a black metal fence, with a small lawn and tropical plants softening the perimeter. Glass railings keep the sightlines open from the kitchen window, so someone at the stove can keep an eye on the pool.

Upstairs splits into two wings. There are two primary bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and closet; one of them has a soaking tub. Two more bedrooms share a full bath, and a den with a door can lock off as a sixth bedroom when guests stay. Both upstairs bedrooms open onto private balconies with glass railings, looking down toward the pool and out toward the tree line.

The rooftop is the level most people remember. A pergola covers part of the terrace; the rest sits open to the sky. The jacuzzi is centered under the pergola, with a half bath tucked into the back of the floor. From up here, the jungle canopy is the view. Sunsets drop directly over it.

Inside details worth noting: AC mini-splits in the main rooms, ceiling fans, hot tub plumbing on the roof, a pantry, and a covered parking bay with space for two cars side by side. Solar panels sit on the roof, paired with a reverse osmosis filtration system and a water softener. The kitchen ships fully equipped. Furniture is not included in the sale.

The community has its own amenities: a pool built around the natural cenote at the edge of the property, a kids' pool, a palapa and sitting areas, a grill, and 24/7 gated security. The setting is quieter than the beach zone, surrounded by mature trees.

Location puts daily errands within a short drive. Centro Maya, supermarkets, and restaurants are minutes away. Britt Academy, Papalote School, Tepeyak, and Ekilibrio are all close enough for school runs. Highway 307 connects north toward Cancun (about 45 minutes to the airport) and south toward Tulum. The beach and Quinta Avenida in central Playa del Carmen are a short drive in the other direction.
