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.

Handy stuff
Very Important Information.
Mexico Entry Requirement - travelling with children.
It's been brought to our attention that the Mexican Migration Act stipulates that to enter and exit the country children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by either of the parents or those with parental responsibility/guardianship over them.
There's no requirement for authorisation from the absent parent, for example in the case of single parents or those divorced/separated unless you appear not to be the child's parent - e.g. if you have a different surname to your child.
You'll be asked to provide notarized written authorisation signed by the parent who is not travelling with the child or by both parents where neither is travelling with the child.
If you're not able to provide this you'll need to be able to show evidence of your relationship to the child and/or the reason why they are travelling with you e.g. a birth or adoption certificate, divorce or marriage certificates or Parental Responsibility Order. This will minimise the risk of problems when entering or leaving Mexico.
Children under 18 years old travelling alone or accompanied by an adult who is not the parent or a legal guardian must present to the immigration officer in Mexico a valid passport and notarized written authorisation from the parent(s) granting their permission for the child to enter/exit the country. This must also be translated into Spanish.
