Light-filled villa with marble floors and counters is just as spectacular inside as the view of the turquoise Caribbean and palm trees is through walls of glass.
All bedrooms have ocean view with blackout drapes for late risers. Mattresses and furnishings are top of the line with comfort and luxury in mind.
Separate controls for air-conditioning and ceiling fans in each room. Window and door screens if you prefer the Caribbean breezes.
TV in each bedroom as well as 42" in living room, with 3 DVD players and small library of DVD's and books for children and adults, for your enjoyment.
Use your private stairway from the terrace to the beach. Stroll along the sand to the Omni Hotel. Eat lunch at their spectacular ocean-front restaurant or beach bar. Rent snorkel equipment or take dive lessons and arrange scuba trips at Dive Aventuras which is located at the end of the hotel's swimming pool. Enter the lobby to visit the Paradise Tour desk and sign up for group or private tours to Xcaret, Xel Ha, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Coba or any other Maya Riviera site.
Cross the street from the Omni to the town center with public marina, restaurants, souvenir shops, dolphin swim, internet cafes, and mini-marts. Feed the Manatees and Seals. Swim with the Dolphins and purchase professional photos of the experience. Charter a sportsfishing trip at Capt.Rick's Sportsfishing Center. Taxis are located nearby for quick trips to Playa del Carmen and the ferry to Cozumel.
Be sure to shop La Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) for Mexican souvenirs and great open-air dining in Playa del Carmen. Enjoy the strolling Mariachis or other live music while having a cold drink. A very relaxing way to spend at least one evening during your visit.
A short walk along surface streets, past the new private marina where you can arrange a catamaran excursion, takes you back to enjoy the rest of your day at VDM II #201. Margarita, anyone?

The nicest villa we've rented! It was absolutely perfect! I loved the fact that it had 3 separate bedrooms each with their own bathroom...that way each family had their own private area! It was very clean and comfortable. Plus it was stocked with all the necessities needed for a perfect vacation. It was steps away from the beach which was a highlight for my children. My family felt very safe and secure and we loved the little town of Puerto Aventuras which was in walking distance to all shops and restaurants from this villa. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who wants their vacation to be fun, easy, and relaxing! My family had a wonderful stay here! We will definitely be going back in the future.

This is our third time staying at this condo and each time has been a wonderful experience. It is a place where you can take small children and feel very safe. The condo is clean and very spacious. It is so nice that each bedroom has its own bathroom, making it very easy for six adults to have a comfortable stay. We love that the beach is literally just steps away. We also love that it is so close to the marina, shopping and the golf course. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a safe and relaxing vacation. We will definitely be back again:) The Smith Family from Alberta, Canada
Owner response:Thank you, Marlene. It is very gratifying to have return vacationers like your family who come back to enjoy our beachfront property each year. We all look forward to your next stay. Saludos, Barbara

We have rented and owned properties all over the world and this condominium in the magnificent Puerto Aventuras complex is the best located, most beautifully decorated and furnished in which we have ever spent a vacation. It has the best ocean frontage in the building with a wide dining balcony that does full justice to the magnificent view. It is the only unit in Building One which has a private staircase down to the lawn, pool and beach area. The bedrooms are large with terrific storage and very comfortable beds. The bathrooms are elegant and everything works all the time--not all that common everywhere in Mexico. We particularly appreciated the fact that each bedroom had its own air conditioning controls. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and we all enjoyed the many flat screen TVs. The beach is raked each morning and it's just a short stroll along it to a fine hotel and a charming village with many restaurants--even a dolphin pool. This is a fine home and bears no resemblance whatsoever to the typical rental property in Mexico or anywhere else. We can't recommend it highly enough.

My Family LOVES this place. It is so beautiful and relaxing. The condo has everything. A beautiful terrace to sit out on and watch the ocean, a fun beach for kids to play at, and a great pool too. This unit at Villa Del Mar 2 is fabulous. The bedrooms are extra large, there are DVD players and tv's in every room. The towels and linens are like brand new. The kitchen is stocked with all appliances and cooking equipment with an extra large dining table to fit all. The daily maid service is a big luxury. We love it here. There are kayaks, boogie boards, and sand toys for the kids. This year our family went on an ATV tour thru the jungle and beach which was very fast and enjoyable. It's only 10 minutes away. Would definitly recommend the tour. We explored in caves, swam in the cenote and the beach. The guide was very funny and informative. If you love a beautiful view, and absolute luxury, this is the condo for you!

I love this condo in Puerto Aventuras! It is such an easy and relaxing trip for my family...(we have 3 small children)...this is our 2nd time renting this condo and it was perfect in every way! It is clean, nicely decorated, spacious, and has all the amenities and an easy walk to shopping, restaurants and the dolphin center (which my kids LOVE!)....we also loved using the kayaks this year...my husband took all the kids out in the calm water right in front of the condo! You won't be disappointed, and the owners are a delight to work with...we'll be booking this condo again in the near future!

We have just returned from our fourth stay at this condo. We come back every year because it is so nice and our children love it! We swim in the pool, play at the beach which is only steps away, and love walking down to the Marina to eat at the great local restaurants and visit the dolphins. We also love to take excursions to Xcaret to float down the river inside the caves and see all the animals. And we always spend one day shopping and having refreshments in Playa del Carmen which is only 15 minutes away by taxi. This condo has everything we need, plenty of TVs to entertain the kids at night, beach towels, kayaks and even a washer dryer so we don't have to pack a ton of clothes! The full kitchen is great too, so we can cook many of meals in the condo. We can't wait to return next year!

We have stayed in Puerto Aventuras many times and this is the best villa we have rented. Everything about the property is top of the line. The beachfront location is perfect and the private stairs to the pool and beach are an added bonus. We really enjoyed the kayaks. The owners are great to deal with, even sending updates on the weather before we arrived. I highly recommend this property.

This is a great condo - wonderfully furnished and maintained, maid service daily is outstanding, location is super. We went with our 2 adult children. Each bedroom has an exterior entrance so the condo also offers exceptional privacy. When I return to the Yucatan, I will be looking to return here.

We really felt as home and we had an excellent time in Villa del Mar II. The place is really better than the photos. We enjoyed the jacuzzi very much. And the owner was really a good person. I strongly recommend this property to my friends and relatives and hope to be back soon.

We have spent extraordinary holiday in this Condo. The department is first class, with great rooms, living extraordinary, cuisine is extremely comprehensive, and well decorated. All rooms with the best imaginable ocean view. The balcony with the hot tub is too much! The service is first class, both the manager and cleaning. Really is much more than what is shown in the description. Highly recommended
