| What an AMAZING place to stay on our honeymoon! The home is amazing and clean and beautifully decorated. We have traveled quite a bit, and REALLY enjoyed our trip to Puerto Adventuras. There is so much to do, and such beautiful scenery. We would highly recommend it! The location is perfect! If will be a vacation you will never forget! :) |

| We took our two teenage daughters for some family time away from it all and had a wonderful week together. It was just the right amount of adventure. We took taxis to nearby Xel Ha, Tulum and Play del Carman. We loved walking down the beach into the town plaza and went at least once every day to the internet cafe, for a meal(loved the food) or ice cream (Cafe Ole). The girls swam with the dolphins and we got lots of great pictures. There were lots of baby dolphins and one was born during our stay. Safety was never a concern anywhere but we felt good about staying inside the gated community. Geraldine booked our airport transportation and was always helpful. Loved being so close to the ocean breeze. We prefer a small condo comlex and your lovely unit was perfect in every way, Thank you Barbara, my kids would love to come back! |

A great place for a family to stay. Literally right on the beach. Deck is great for relaxing with a coffee in the morning. Best of all, it is a short walk down the beach to the restaurants and Dolphin Discovery.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us! |

We just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had in Mexico at
your beach-side condo, and to thank you so much for everything you arranged. Your place is beautiful and we all loved it so very much. New year's dinner
was fabulous and both Adriana and Geraldine were wonderfully
accommodating and helpful. Thanks for the suggestion! You've made the condo so comfortable as we all felt very at home and relaxed there. I very much hope we'll be able to go back at some stage.
Thanks again for all your help and advice, you made it so easy and most
enjoyable. |

| We just returned from our second stay in Puerto Aventuras and our second time renting this condo. We absolutely love this condo, why you ask? It is in the perfect location and beach front. With 3 small children (an infant and 5 year old twins)it is the perfect place to stay...what I really appreciated with this condo is that that owners made it easy for us to travel with the infant, they had a pack n play and highchair for us to use, no hauling extra stuff. Plus, the fact that it is spacious, well stocked, steps to the beach and pools, and within short walking distance to restaurants and shopping made this vacation wonderful and EASY. The condo is immaculate (which is always a big concern when booking) and my kids had the best vacation of their lives. We played in the pool/beach all day, then we would walk to lunch in town and then come home and cook a wonderful dinner on the terrace overlooking the beautiful ocean! What more could you ask for? Plus like others have said, it is a short cab ride to Playa del Carmen and Xcaret, two things our family likes to do. We will definitely be coming back for years to come and will request this condo again! |

The villa and its location could not be any better for a relaxing vacation. Located right on the beach with an unobstructed view of the beach and the water, breakfast on the large terrace was a treat every morning! The villa was very well maintained and all the rooms surprisingly spacious. A nearby large shopping center provided all the fresh food we wanted for breakfast or the few times we opted not to take advantage of the restaurants within walking distance or the many dining options in Playa del Carmen (15 minutes drive).
For active people like us, there were many day trip options, including Xcaret, Tulum and Yal Ku to mention just a few, snorkeling in the sonotes was an unbelievable experience that should be on everyone’s itinerary. The dive masters from the he on-site scuba shop were experienced and helpful, making for enjoyable dives with much to see. Our deep sea fishing trip yielded several fish, including two 20lb+ mahi-mahis (other boats all seemed to be similarly successfully) that the local restaurants were very happy to turn into a dinner for us.
This is definitely a place we are adding as an option for future trips.

| This is our second time staying at this great villa! We have decided it must be an annual trip. The villa is beautiful and outfitted with everything you need for a relaxing (or adventurous) vacation. This year we took a couple of excursions, to Xcaret and Play del Carmen. Both are about a 15 minute ($15 american) taxi ride from the villa. Xcaret has lots of exotic animals, a boat tour and you can float down an underground river with life vests. Our kids loved it! Playa del Carmen is great for shopping and dining out. We had such a great time, we wouldn't change a thing and can't wait to go back next year. |

We give this place an A+. It was a terrific and
immaculate ocean front property. Having three
separate bedrooms each with their own private
bathroom made this a perfect condo for our grown
family. Barbara and Ed made sure that we had what
we needed and are terrific to rent from. The condo
is in a safe and marvelous location....there are
restaurants and shops within walking distance and
the town of Playa del Carmen is only 15 minutes
away (by cab or car). The beach is pristine and
private. The diving is marvelous (use Dive
Aventura) and the dive shop is within walking
distance. We would be delighted to answer any
questions (e-mail us). We can even recommend a
driver (reasonable cost) to transport you to and
from the Cancun airport, and to help you with any
of your needs while you are there. This was our
first time renting a condo (instead of staying in
hotels/resort properties) and it was a delightful
experience! Thank you Barbara and Ed. |

...On the fishing--we caught the Barracuda on a boat (Rick's, I think) $90/person for a half day, with a mess of Snapper (which we also ate). Dwayne is a chef, so he was already planning the meals before the boat was docked. He did an incredible job, as usual, and the Barracuda was definitely our favorite. (Hard to beat fresh Snapper, but he did it!) Delicious, would eat it again for sure.
We also brought our fly-fishing rods and caught quite a few out in front of the condo--Bonefish and some others-smaller so just put them back. I hear people can fly-fish for the Barracuda, so that would be info to put on your site. (Need a steel leader for that).
Cheers, Charles

| This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The place is immaculate. Overlooking the ocean, simply beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Puerto Adventurous has tons of things to do. Tours are available, I love this place. |

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! and can't wait to get back there. This Villa has everything you could ever need. The owners keep it so nice and clean with beautiful furniture and five star luxury. You couldn't ask for anything else. It's extremely roomy with large living areas and also large bedrooms for those needed private times. My husband loves cooking, and he found it very easy and comfortable to cook in the Villa's wonderful kitchen. I'd have to say that my favorite thing was sitting on the terrace enjoying the beautiful view, with the nice cool breeze off the ocean.
Puerto Aventuras is also beautiful and very safe. The beaches are clean and good for swimming, even with small children. It is perfect for the adventurous traveller as well as the family or couple who likes to just relax. The kids loved swimming in the villa's pool and the ocean, digging sand on the beach, and "visiting" the dolphins at the marina.
Thanks for a wonderful time! We will definitly be back. |

We had such a great time staying at this villa! Puerto Aventuras is a great town, really safe, and plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance (even with very small children). But mostly we enjoyed staying in at night. The villa is decorated so nicely and had everything we needed for cooking up great dinners (even a little bar-b-que on the terrace). After that we'd put our kids in front of one of the many flat screen televisions, pop in a dvd, and the adults would enjoy hanging out on the terrace with the gorgeous ocean views!
We spent our days swimming in the villa's pool, playing at the beach which is only steps away, or visiting the dolphins at the nearby marina. The villa had sand toys and plenty of beach towels plus it's own washer/dryer so we didn't have to pack tons of clothes.
We wouldn't change a thing about our vacation and especially this villa! We can't wait to go back next year! |
