Destination information
Perfectly positioned between exclusively bohemian Playa del Carmen to the north and exotic Tulum to the south, Puerto Aventuras is a deluxe resort with a stunning marina on Mexico’s east coast Mayan Riviera.
Puerto, as the locals call it, is just 45 minutes away from Cancun and enjoys the same turquoise-blue Caribbean sea, sugar-white sand and top notch amenities as the popular resort but offers a friendly small-town feeling with an cosmopolitan flavour for a more laid-back vacation vibe. Thanks to Puerto’s in-the-middle-of-it-all position, you’re ideally situated to explore the many marvels of the Yucatan peninsular from the famous Xcaret eco-park to the ancient mayan ruins of Tulum with nothing more than an hour away.
Adventure and sporty excitement are right on the spot with everything from deep-sea fishing, golf and tennis to para-sailing, exploring the jungle or diving in an underground ‘cenote’ (fresh water cave).
Lovers of tropical marine life will be delighted by the on-site maritime museum which offers the opportunity to experience swimming with dolphins and learning more about the wonders of the undersea world.
Eats & drinks
Eats & drinks: The resort is home to an array of international restaurants offering something for all tastes. Fans of fresh seafood should try the local ceviche, a deliciously zingy fish dish that’s ‘cooked’ by citrus juice and served with crunchy corn crackers. Head to one of the bars with a view over the dolphin lagoon to enjoy the sunset...
Getting around
Getting around: The well-maintained HWY 307 which runs from Cancun to Belize goes past the resort and so getting around by car is easy. Taxis are also a cheap option but always agree the price before getting in. The "Servicio Colectivo Foraneo" shuttle bus costs around USD1 per person and runs in a loop from Playa del Carmen to Tulum, picking up at Puerto on the way.
