Puerto Aventuras Vacation Rental condo

We could not believe our eyes when we arrived at this condo. It was more than we expected, wonderful view, great location and sparkling clean. The condo is huge with bedrooms at each end for great privacy and loads of room in the living room, dining room and kitchen. The patio outside is huge and then having all the nice grass area in front of that made us feel like we were in a home, not a condo. Being so close to hear the waves on the beach was like a dream. Not sure what was closer the beach or the pool, but both steps away!
Kenny (owner) and Andrew the property manager (Sol Maya Properties) were both excellent in providing piece of mind in the whole rental on line thing, always available to answer questions and help with suggestions for food and places to see. It was nice to actually have them call me and have the personal service. It was nice having Andrew there to help us out while actually in Puerto Adventuras, it gave us a good peace of mind.
The location of the condo was also great, 5 minute beautiful walk down the beach to the town centre. Very safe, clean village, wonderful people and felt more like being in Mexico than staying at an all inclusive. (We were at one the second week)
We found lots of places eat, but our favourite was Navido on the Marina, very reasonable and excellent food. Cafe Ole, the Pub, and Gringo Dave's had entertainment at different times, which we also enjoyed. We had no problem getting supplies in the shops, but if you want a big shop go to Playa De Carmen only 15min. away. There are also great beaches near by to visit for different beach bars etc.
We could not have asked for nicer condo or rental company, it made of visit to the Mayan a wonderful experience.
If you have the chance, I suggest you do not miss out on staying at this Condo in is a gem!

We have stayed at many different condos in Puerto Aventuras and Akumal and Kenny's condo in Villas del Mar II has the best location and view of any of the condos we have stayed in. From the large patio you are just a few steps from the beach and the pool and there is a nice grassy area in between the patio and the beach. The views of the ocean and the moon are spectacular and the ocean breeze makes the warm days much more pleasant. The condo is well-equipped and the layout is fantastic for two or three small families as it has two large oceanfront master suites on opposite ends of the condo and a studio suite in the middle. We were two seperate families traveling together and always felt that we had plenty of privacy and space. The children in our party, ages 13, 10 and 7, loved the freedom of running back and forth to the pool or kicking a ball in the grassy area. Each master suite has two queen sized beds and the studio has a queen and a futon. The well-stocked kitchen overlooks the ocean as does the LR/DR area and there are no other condos in direct view of the ocean. The patio is wonderful for coffee in the morning and any of your other meals which you can cook yourself or have prepared for you by a personal chef. You can easily walk to the shops and restaurants around the marina by either walking along the beach or through the neighborhood. Puerto Aventuras is a fantastic destination for families and adults. The entire town is gated and it is one of the very few places that we feel comfortable letting our children, ages 13 and 10 wander around a bit on their own. They can go for an ice cream or run an errand to the little store while we are enjoying ourselves at one of the restaurants or on the condo's patio. The condo also has access to two double kayaks and there is a very calm swimming area a short walk down the beach to the right.

Kenny did everything possible to make our stay pleasant before our arrival and was very interested in our feedback afterwards.

Puerto Aventuras is a fantastic base for day tripping to Tulum, Coba, X-puha, Xel-ha, Xcaret, cenotes, Playa del Carmen, etc... There are far more adventures to be had in the Mayan Riviera than time. You will want to return again and again!

Our family just returned from a trip down to Puerto Aventuras from 2/21-2/28/09. We absolutely loved staying at this condo!! The location, next to the beach/pool and on the ground floor is so convenient. The unit is well cared for and the cleanest we have stayed in. The kitchen is well stocked if you would like to prepare meals, or it is a quick walk into town for meals/shopping. Having satellite television and an internet connection also allows you to stay connected. Our family had such a great time relaxing at the condo, playing on the beach and walking into town. We hope to return to PA and will stay in this condo again in the not too distant future!
