Overview:

Puerto Aventuras was the first resort town built south of Cancun. Today is it a very discreet, exclusive and beautiful tourist development and a favourite of people who want to relax in comfort and tranquily. The centre of town is a marina, a lovely inlet full of boats surrounded by restaurants, coffe shops, handicraft stores, bakeries and a small bookstore. An island in front of the marina completes this stunning landscape.

Puerto Aventuras has both a well planned residential área and elegant hotels along the beach. Despite the refined surrounding, the town has the informal atmosphere of a small community, with friendly and warm people.

The cuisine in Puerto Aventuras is reknowned throughout the Riviera Maya. Like Playa, there are many different dining options to choose from.

One of the most famous activities in Puerto Aventuras is the fishing tournament which takes place in May. The recently inaugurated Cultural and Poly-religious Centre, the only one of its kind in the Riviera Maya, is another interesting feature of this tourist destination.

Locality:

Puerto Aventuras is on the Caribbean coast of Yucatan Peninsula. (20 mls S of Playa del Carmen; 60 mls SW of Cancun, which has the nearest international airport). This is an area of long stretches of white sand backed by relatively flat terrain covered with dry scrub and dense native forest that reaches the sea in places.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Within Puerto Aventuras, activities centre around the picturesque commercial centre on the marina.  Here you will find numerous boutiques, 12 restaurants, 4 bars, a money exchange, 2 pharmacies, a post office, 2 internet cafes, 3 convenience stores, bank machine, travel agency, 2 tour operators,  car rental agency, 2 dive shops, bicycle tours, maritime museum,  gym, spa, fishing charters, catamaran day trips, and the Dolphin Discovery where you can swim with dolphins. 

From this hub you can move out within walking distance to find 2 powdery white sand beaches with bountiful reefs just off shore, kayak & snorkel rentals, picturesque deepwater marina, challenging 9 hole golf course (a hidden gem), tennis courts, and an open air palapa roofed church.

The gin clear, turquoise blue water in front of the Omni beach is shallow and well protected by the outer reef.  It is a great place to swim, snorkel or build a sandcastle.  A beach side palapa bar is ready to serve up a cold refreshment or snack right to your lounge chair. 

The Belle Mar Spa & Gym, located in the hotel complex, is surrounded by sand, water and sun.  The Omni is one of the few 'non' all inclusive hotels outside of Playa del Carmen.  This charming 30 room resort welcomes the public to use their restaurants, bars, pools and access the beach through their lobby.  Help keep this access open by having a drink or snack while enjoying the fabulous beach.

Puerto Aventuras' deepwater marina has capacity for over 250 boats and attracts everything from small pleasure craft right through to 150 plus ft. luxury yachts.  While there are always fish to catch, mid March through mid May is the bill fish season. It is during this time that you will find the marina full of super sleek sport fishing boats from all over the Eastern seaboard.  If you want to try your hand at game fishing, there are numerous charter boats available.  Although they catch and release the bill fish, the Mahi Mahi (Dorada), Wahoo, Tuna, and other fine eating fish are kept. If you aren't lucky enough to land your own meal, head down to the docks around 1:00 or 5:30 PM when the boats are coming in and you can likely purchase some fabulous fish to take home for the bar-b-que at Brisa Caribe. Wander along the marina walkways and feel free to check out the boats and chat with the crews as you explore this wonderful community.  Fishing boat crews can be real characters with many interesting stories to tell.
