The hype
Great staff, clean pools, and a fantastic safe location, but the property feels a bit dated despite recent renovations.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Located in a safe, gated marina village you can explore by golf cart
- Excellent family amenities including a kids' water park and Explorer's Club
- Friendly, hardworking staff and a lifesaver 24/7 coffee shop
Snel Overzicht: It's a solid value for families, but the 'beach' is a man-made lagoon that sometimes smells of seaweed, and the food is decidedly mediocre.
Beoordeeld door @audreytravelnow: I was so worried about seaweed before my trip, but this resort was a lifesaver. The beach is protected by a rock wall, so the sand was spotless and the water was incredibly calm. Waking up to that balcony view of the cove was the absolute best.

Reality check
The dining options are hit-or-miss, with limited menus and several restaurants closed during off-peak times.

Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough with fun towel art, but inconsistent timing—some rooms aren't cleaned until 4:30 PM.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but older rooms suffer from leaking sinks, slow drains, and occasional black mold in the grout.
- Maintenance: Hit or miss. The property shows its age with reports of peeling paint, broken sliding doors, and damaged TV screens.
- Linens & towels: Clean and fresh, but pool towels frequently run out during peak hours.
- Odors & scents: High humidity means many rooms (especially on the ground floor) have a noticeable musty or mildew smell.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the beach good for swimming?
It's a man-made saltwater lagoon protected by a seawall. It's very calm and great for kids, but it's not a traditional open-ocean beach and sometimes smells of seaweed.
Is the Preferred Club worth the upgrade?
Yes, if you value a quieter adults-only pool, premium liquors, and access to the Oceana restaurant for a much better breakfast experience.
How far is the resort from the airport?
It's about a 60 to 90-minute drive from Cancun International Airport, depending on traffic.
Are there any hidden fees?
There is a $65 per night fee if you bring a pet, and early check-in or late check-out will cost you extra. Otherwise, parking and standard amenities are included.
Is the food actually good?
Reviews are very mixed. The 24/7 coffee shop and Oceana get praise, but the main buffet and several a la carte restaurants are often described as mediocre or cold.
Can you walk around outside the resort?
Absolutely. The resort is located inside the gated Puerto Aventuras marina community, which is very safe, highly walkable, and features local shops and a dolphinarium.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Rent a golf cart for about $100/day from the concierge to explore the Puerto Aventuras gated community.
- ✨
Grab fresh towels at the end of the day for the next morning to avoid the early rush.
- ✨
The 24/7 coffee shop is a lifesaver, but go mid-day to stock your room to avoid the massive morning lines.
