No internet access in the rooms. This is an abomination. I'm a physician. How is it possible in this day of communication that I have to carry my laptop or some other internet ready device to communicate with my staff. As a traveling businessman, I am absolutely besides myself to believe that in 2009 I can't access my bank accounts, interoffice email, friends an..."

Holiday Review

Went in a group of twenty-two 18 year olds and 12 moms. Had a wonderful time. Resort treated us wonderful. The only problem I had was minor, we were on the 3rd floor and it was not as cool as the bottom rooms and they checked our air conditioning and they went ahead and moved us to a room on the 1st floor. The beds were not the greatest. When we went into tow..."

The good part... the great weather. The bad... The service was awful from reception desk to waitstaff. The drinks were horrible and watered down and didn't seem to have any alcohol in them. Drank a lot and NEVER got even a buzz and I'm not a big drinker! We requested a room with two queen beds and ended up with one king and on a waiting list--never to be cont..."

Holiday Review

I've just got back from a week at this hotel with my daughter. We had a thoroughly good time apart from her having a jet ski accident which was the fault of a nutty Scot. Go on one of the pirate ships - it's quite expensive, but good fun and good food with plenty to drink.

The rooms was very nice with extremely comfortable, clean beds. The b..."

It's looking a little tired now - certainly needs a refurb I would say. As always in Mexico in our experience, the staff were fabulous. The problem came from the other punters. Mainly very, very rowdy Americans and Canadians, wh..."

The resort is really good if you want to just relax by the pool or on the beach, or if you want to go on trips. There's lots to do for kids with the excellent entertainment staff. The rooms are spacious, very clean and have a fridge which is filled up every other..."

Milla Mills wrote, "I would like to write about my experience in Puerto Aventuras.. Let me just say.. This is a one of the nicest places I have stayed on the Mayan Riviera..I stayed at the Spa Aventuras palace for 1 week then we moved over to the Barcelo Resort for a week..Now both of these places say they are in Puerto Aventuras but actually these resorts are located a 1/2 mile north(Spa) and a 1/2 south(Barcelo)..Not to fret though..There is a shuttle provided by Gringo Daves( restaurant/Patio bar/Adventure and shuttle service)..Before I get ahead of myself..Lets start with The Spa Aventuras Palace..I check in on March 10..I was looking for a relaxing time before the spring breakers showed up..Well I got what I was looking for..The resort is set on a beautiful beach so white and the water so clear..You would swear you were in a post card..The room it self was nicely decorated with the nice comfy beds..The bars and restaurants are pretty good for a all-inclusive resort..There are several to choose from..Of course a mexican, then there is a Japanese, Brazilian, and a few bars with bar food..The buffet they offer is descent but of course you wouldn't want to eat it everyday..As I mentioned before the best food I found was at this place called Gringo Daves(located in the marina)..There is a free shuttle that will pick you up and transport you to the Marina.I am not sure but I think the ladies name was Anna for the shuttle(9841391607)..I think that is it?Also Gringo will give the whole party a free Maragarita..The Mahi Mahi I had was fixed in a tequila..With steamed veges and rice..The fish came out with a uniquely delicious texture and flavor that I have never tasted before..They also have the Swim with Dolphin experience and lots of little shops in the marina..Anyway back to my final opinion..The quiet I was looking for was there..Then the one day I didn't feel like relaxing I went to Gringo daves and was very impressed with the entertainment and service they gave us..The swimming with the dolphins was also one of the most magnificent things you can experience in your life.I will do a separate blog for the Barcelo Resort"
