“Great low-key, if you like quiet. Noise not tolerated.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011

people found this review helpful

Beautiful grounds, close to the ocean, but unfortunately, you can't enter the water without walking down the beach. This wasn't a problem for us 50-somethings, but I wouldn't be inclined to bring my toddler-aged grandchildren here with all the gear we would have to lug around for them! We rented for 3 weeks and found other long term (some as long as two months!) renters and resident owners delightful, ready to share info on restaurants and shopping, and even offering rides.. Since we basically read, relax and enjoy the ocean, we appreciated the efforts of residents to maintain the tranquility of this lovely place. Folks were not shy about telling rude or inconsiderate weekers to tone it down, control their children, follow the posted rules...They really shut down some heavy drinkers who were paying no attention to young children running wild. We would definitely come again, and encourage other snowbirds to do the same. Do keep in mind that each condo is independently owned. Ours was ok, but basic -- we looked at 3 others which were decorated MUCH more nicely and will go with one of them once we decide on our dates.

Room Tip: Look closely at pictures and ask questions.

“Great place if you like it quiet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

person found this review helpful

This is a great place if you like it quiet and have a family that is not noisy. There is an obvious friction between the owners who really lay down the rules on you and those who like to drink, talk at night and let our kids do their thing. A really nice pool in the middle of the complex, the center of activity, but the noise really carries. If you're a long-term renter, go for this place. If you want to let loose for a short-time, it's a lousy choice. With Cancun and Playa del Carmen right down the road, why bother with this small rather lifeless place. Watch the sun rise, sure, drink margaritias, OK if you don't talk too loud. That's it in a nutshell folks. FYI, the restaurants are not that great.

“Villas del Mar II- perfect for family trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2010

We booked condo # 301 for family group of seven. My wife & I brought our mothers, 2 sister in laws and my sister. Only guy in our party of seven, as I mnetioned earlier, I took one for the team. Flew into Cancun and had a mini van from Executive. They had a counter outside Terminal 3- and we were driven to their office outside Terminal 2. Drove to Pto. Aventuras in about 1 hour 15 minutes as the traffic around Playa was busy due to construction. Condo 301 has a super view looking SE toward the south boat entrance into the marina. Easy walk into Puerto- we walked thru the Omni lobby to get to the shops and restaurants. We really liked Cafe Ole for dinner & music- but it's not cheap. Got to know the staff well- "Philly" the waiter was a lot of fun. For breakfast The Pub was more affordable- we went there 3 times. Our other meals we had in the condo- having made two trips to Playa and bought groceries at the Chedraui. The beach at Puerto is not the huge expanse of white sand thet we like, but was OK, with a nice stretch near the south boat entrance to the marina. Even though there is a sign that say's not to swim near that channel, the snorkling was awesome on the south rocky shoreline of the channel it self. Just watch out for boats and you'll be fine. We also took day trips to Tulum, Akumal, and the Cenote Azul. My wife and I usually like more remote areas of the Riveria Maya, but for this family trip Pto. Aventuras worked out great.

“What a view !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2010

We have stayed at these condos before , but not with this view. The condo is decorated so nicely and the beds are fantastic. We really enjoy the community of Puerto, but love this condo. The condo is fully stocked for any meal you may dream of , not that we cooked....There is a washer and dryer. I would highly recommend this condo and will be back !!!

“Best trip ever”

We stayed at Villas Del Mar 301 and our balcony was practically right on the ocean. Every room in the 3 bedroom condo had an ocean view and it was heaven to fall asleep at night on the exquisite beds listening to the waves. The villa was amazingly kept and cleaned by the cleaning staff. Beach in front was rocky, but walking down to the Omni hotel beach and it was great. We snorkeled a bit and saw little fish. Traveled with 13 yr old son, who loved the town of Puerto Aventure - an easy walk- and each morning and evening we ate outside and watched the dolphins swim. Took day trips to Tulum and Cozumel. Great vacation - quiet - not a big night life but wonderful. Loved it.
