The facility is quiet, a little far from the hustle and bustle of Cancun, but well worth the trip. Surrounded by a vacation village, the hotel is the heart of the planned community of Puerto Aventuras. The village includes restaurants, shops, condominiums for vacationers and retirees, and the famous dolphin enclosure. The hotel itself is small and quaint. The rooms are spacious and our room had a wonderful balcony with a hammock and a jetted tub. The pool is wonderful, complete with kids pool and swim up bar. The beach is adjacent and protected by a jetty and reef from the main ocean. It is very picturesque. The community has limited recreational opportunities beyond shopping, eating, sunbathing, and the dolphins. And the balance of Maya Riviera is a taxi or car ride away. Many families from around Mexico enjoy Puerto Aventuras because it is quiet, family friendly, and well maintained. The hotel was not full but the pool and restaurant also provide capacity for area residents who come with a day or season pass to use the facilities. Finally, the hotel restaurant was very good and the facility has a spa, fitness center, and scuba shop.
