This place has a lot of potential. It was satisfactory but could be so much more with not a lot of work. The kitchen equipment/tools/utensils need updating. also needs a phone. Also need instructions on how to use the gas oven and the remote controls. Also some area information would be very helpful.

My first complain is that I e-mailed a check for the safety deposit that was supposed to be held only and not cashed but a few days later after I mailed the check it was cashed. I was fortunate that I had enough money in my account and I did not get an overdraft charge from my bank.
The location of the villa, pool and the access to the beach is the best but the the overall condition of the villa, specifically the kitchen and bathrooms is poor. Definitively a renovation is way overdue.
The property manager, which lives next door, did not bother to provide any recommendations upon our arrival. I am familiar with the area so I did not need her advice but for someone new to the area it will be helpful that somebody spend the time explaining you the basic recommendations to make your stay pleasant.

Dear Adrian in response of your review, I think you are confused since the security deposit is a refundable payment, we need to asure the owners that eny damage will be paid, so we never told you we would hold the check. Nothwithstanding you had the option to buy the Accidental Rental Damage Insurance, but you preferred the security deposit. Your Deposit was fully refunded since there was not any damage. We hope to assist you in the future.

We had a fantastic vacation and this house was amazing! The owner and the grounds keeper were charming and kind. You can't get any closer to the beach than this house. We opted to have dinner cooked for us on four nights. What a treat!!! The food was fresher than any restaurant. It had local flair while meeting our American taste buds. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Beaches are like magnets to me.
Up till now I´ve had the opportunity to bathe (and Sun Bathe as well) in the Mexican beaches of Acapulco, Manzanillo, Zihuatanejo, Puerto Escondido, Veracruz, Hol-Box, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel.
Also in Saint Tropez and Saint Maxime at the French Riviera, Naxos in the Greek Islands, Eilat in Israel, Punta del Este in Uruguay, Punta Arenas in Costa Rica, the Coronado shores and San Diego in California, San Pedro in Belize, Peñiscola in Spain, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas.
Puerto Aventuras ranks Number One.

Reviewer Comments:
The location right on the beach was beautiful, and very quiet. It was very safe and the kids loved adventuring through the garden to look at the crabs and geckos. The weather and outside areas were terrific. The property location with the pool and many palm trees right on the beach was spectacular. Unfortunately the interior was a major disappointment. The house required many updates and was in need of a good cleaning (mainly kitchen and bathrooms). Most of the screens were torn or disconnected at seems, so many mosquitos were in the home and we had to keep the place closed up at night. We also saw 3 cockroaches and the kitchen had hundreds of tiny ants on the counters, floors and walls, so we could not have any food out at all (everything was in the fridge). The owner tried to manage the bug problem with insecticide rather than through cleaning and fixing problems. There were also many ants in the bedroom (at top of the bed), which led to stressful sleep as I have a terrible phobia to bugs - I would not go into the bathroom at night at all. The baby crib that they promised was broken and collapsed if anything was placed in it, so my baby had to sleep in the bed with cushions piled up around the bed.
Overall, the ocean and trees and the bridge entrance to the house were wonderful, but I personally wouldn't return unless something was done about the screens, cleaning and insect infestation. The price of the villa was that of a luxury rental and the house did not justify the cost. I see so much potential based on the location and it's a shame that the owner does not put more pride or effort into her investment especially considering that she lives next door. If you do consider renting in Puerto Aventuras, I recommend renting a golf cart for a day or two, we did and our kids thought that was the best!

For the price the property it is very shabby and in need of updating in every way. Although we lit candles, sprayed Raid, shut all windows in the late afternoon, we still had a problem with mosquitoes. In fact it was better outside!

We had a wonderful, relaxing, "little slice of Heaven" stay at Las Palmas. We loved having our own private beach access. Travel arrangements from the airport to Las Palmas were flawless -- our driver was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived, and picked us up exactly on time to return. The groundskeeper, Teo, walked with us to central Puerto Aventuras and pointed out various places of interest. He even prepared carved coconut drinks for us every morning. He's also quite an artist, creating cute table decorations and was there to answer any questions or assist in any way. The weather was perfect!
