Water Front Penthouse Condo

Wow! When I say paradis, I mean it! What a gorgeous panoramic view from either the condo roof top, balcony, poolside or under the pergola. My sister and I were very comfortable spending five weeks there. If you enjoy walking this is the place to be. My sister and I walked to the market every Wednesday and Saturday, we walked the beaches, we even walked to the Chadraui (the grocery store) across the highway. We did take a taxi going back; too hot! The condo featured two huge bedrooms with king size beds, lovely kitchen/dining/ living room. There’s also a laundry room. Very convenient. We asked Gil & Nancy for new pots and a frying pan for the kitchen. We received them two days later. The sink in the master bedroom needed some work, the shower in the main bathroom needed a good cleaning, especially the floor. All the small kitchen appliances needed a good scrubbing too. The condo itself does need a little bit of TLC. We would have appreciated a phone call from Gil or his manager Nils every once in a while to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. PR goes a long way! No reason to ask for a jug of water every third or fourth day. There are more pros than cons to this place. It’s worth a visit!

The beautiful white sand ocean beach is about a 1 minute walk or a 5 minute kayak ride through the lagoon, and the delicious restaurant and dolphins cove are just 10 minutes walking or a very short car or bike ride. We loved Dos Chiles restaurant, we sat there drinking piñadas eating delicious mexican food while watching the dolphins do tricks and swim with the tourists. Definitely go to Xcaret and Xplor while you're in the area, and don't pass up Tulum, Coba, and Chichen Itzá. Playa del Carmen is just a 20-30 minute drive up the road and has a beautiful boulevard and plenty of great facilities. I got sick from eating some street food and I was able to get a free consult and the prescription i needed at the Walmart in Playa del Carmen and was feeling better in no time. We couldn't be happier than we were with this paradise for our honeymoon and we can't wait to come back, especially for the price!

Good access driving to cenotes, Talum, Acamal, and beaches. Be aware the are NO public beaches within Puerto Adventuras. We were generally able to walk through the resorts to the beach, but my husband was stopped when he tried to. If you have a car, there are plenty of "beach clubs" where you can pay small amount to use beach. Also snorkeling and kyaking right from condo was awesome.

Nearby restaurants and dolphins were fabulous.

In terms of condo, things were somewhat worn. Washer worked with a little love, coffee maker worked if we poured the boiling water through, pans are chipped and few, sheets are yellowed and torn, refrigerator on its way out. Put your beer in the freezer. There is no jacuzzi. Steps to roof top are very steep so a little difficult for people with balance issues. Owners and local management were very responsive, even on Christmas weekend.

Every thing goes really good with this condo and very easy to reserve near the beach like 2:min. Walking,all the condo was nice and the laundry room makes our trip easy all room very clean and beautiful thank you for let us rent your condo

My 87 year old mother had always hoped that one day she could visit Mexico. Well, her dream came true when my husband and I took her to Puerta Adventuras for a week, and we stayed in Gil and Nancy's beautiful condo. The condo has a gorgeous view over the lagoon , and we frequently enjoyed watching the kayaks go by as we drank coffee on the deck. The condo itself is spacious and clean and the air conditioning cools the place very quickly when needed. We enjoyed a morning swim in the pool each day and a few barbeques in the communal barbeque area. You can walk to the beach which is just over the road or use the kayak and paddle out to the ocean which my mom really enjoyed. I felt Nancy and Gil went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our stay helping us pick up groceries on the first day to allowing us to use their golf cart, so my mom would not have to walk to the village in the heat. Thanks Nancy and Gil for such a memorable holiday!
