We are very new to the B&B experience and had not realized that we were not booking in a small motel when we made the reservation. Right from the start, we found our hosts to be very welcoming and made us feel at home and relaxed.

Very Nice Staff and very peaceful place.
Tbe best value for money to meet de Riviera Maya and not be tied to an all inclusive . It is best to rent a car to have the freedom to know every corner of tbe Riviera Maya . The "XPUHA" Beach is very close to Puerto Aventuras , for me the best in tbe zone.. Sonia and Alberto , the owners from Italy , are very helpful and give you all the Information to know the área.

Nice b&b run by lovely couple
Nice, homey alternative to the big resorts. Very good location and very close to the restaurants in the area. Breakfast was simple toast and eggs. We didn't read our booking closely enough and didn't realize there was a shared bathroom, but we are not picky and it was fine and quite clean. Only very minor complaint would be there were only 1 pair of towels provided (and no hand towels) and no bath mat to dry off your feet outside the shower.

Pleasant and peaceful B&B
Jolee and I stayed here 6 nights for an amazing great price. I will be coming back and with friends next time. You are walking distance from all the restaurants, beaches, and dolphins. If you purchase any of the Xcarat (i would also highly recommend) packages, you will have to walk to the dreams resort which is about a 5 minute walk. The owners of this B&B are great individuals and very helpful and knowledgable about the area. We were having issues getting our taxi on the way back to the airport and Sonia spent her time talking with the taxi staff. Thanks again.

6/10 Good

We enjoyed the location. The B&B was a little disappointing. The outside areas were not maintained. The pool was cloudy and appeared dirty. The lounge chairs were dirty cracked and unusable. There was no grass in the backyard around the pool, as it appeared in the picture, just dirt and brown grass. screens were in need of repair. Not a good value, since now they are renting the room for half of what we paid.

Comfortable room in a nice house
This is a small B&B in the gated community of Puerto Aventuras. It is a very quiet and safe tourist area with many upscale restaurants and amenities. Our room was spacious and clean with a huge bed (we stayed in the standard cenote king). The shared bathroom was never a problem with our neighbors. The decor is modern and comfortable. Breakfast is very simple: toast/croissants, eggs, juice, coffee. The location was quite difficult for our taxi driver to find, because it looks like a normal house from the outside and the street numbers and signs are small. It would be helpful to have a photo of the exterior prior to arrival. It is worth it to arrange the airport transport for $65, especially if you have more than one traveler in your party.

Great place, great people in Central Location
I stayed there for 6 days in January 2015. Wonderful place in a very central Area south of Playa del Carmen. Alberto and Sonia are very friendly and helped me unravel the collectivo system and book a trip. They are a wealth of information. The room is kept very clean and it has all the things you would need. It is a great place to explore the Mayan Riviera from. The shared bathroom was never a problem and the bed was comfortable. Puerto Aventuras was different than I expected. It is sort of a gated enclave for Hotels, time shares and private Homes for Westerners. Their are restaurants, Marinas a golf course, dolphin swim place and an OXO convenience store all within walking distance.

Safe and friendly and quiet
Antonio made us feel at home. This is their first bed-and-breakfast experience. The location is across from the marina and a two minute walk to practically anything in this community. Breakfast included toast, croissants, cake cereal and Fridays if you wish. The coffee was horrible but I am fussy. Lol. The pillows definitely upgrading. It was rather hard, but I find that a lot in Mexico. We had a private deck which was fairly large, Located on the second floor. Catalonia hotel resort down the way let us go to their own inclusive from 11 AM to 6 PM for $45 per person which we thought was pretty good. Taxis are quite expensive $30 into Playa del Carmen each way. You can walk outside the gate and catch a bus into town for two dollars US which we didn't know about at first so I don't know the stops. The taxi from Cancun was $82 US

Picalu Perfecto
Beautiful house very homely! Gorgeous room, lots of storage and comfy bed. Couldn't wait to explore the resort where Picalu was based. Only 5 minutes walk to the beach which was absolutely stunning. At lunch we used the convenience store oxox and at night time we tasted lovely food served in the restaurants. At Piculu our room and shared bathroom was cleaned every day. Breakfast was served every day and we enjoyed that it wasn't a fixed time although we never had it later than 930! We enjoyed sitting down to breakfast with other guests around the dining table. Alberto was very attentive and was able to provide us with any information if we required it. We also booked a tour to Chitchen Itza which was reasonably priced! Picalu really was the perfect base to explore Mexico, we had the option of staying inside the complex or exploring other parts of Mexico using Public Transport ( the bus and collectivo stop was directly outside the complex)

Great Location
Spent 2 nights at this lovely B&B managed by Alberto & Sonia. Location is fantastic. Owners very friendly and careful to details. Puerto Aventuras is a great spot for visiting the surroundings (Tulum, Coba', Riviera Maya, Cenotes ect..). I definitely reccomend it!

Cosy central Bed and Breakfast
Super location, ideal for taking in the harbour athmosphere for our family of three over 5 nights stay. An Italian couple is running the place with Alberto taking care of us, willingly sharing local knowledge and giving advice. He can book all sorts of activities or arrange car hires. For self made trips it is a good idea to simply walk up the 20 min to main roads and take the many affordable collectivos running up and down the cost. Akumal, Tullum and perhaps Coba is a must. Nice garden with small pool to coole down. Beaches 10 min by foot. Restaurants around the harbour a bit pricy, try Lattitude 20, to the left when you exit the B and B, very nice and good value.

Nice B & B great location
The location and price was perfect for me. The room was large clean and private. I have not shared a bathroom since Europe but it was very clean with no problems. The owner was friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. The breakfast was the best I had all week in Mexico. If you do not mind not being on the beach this room is for you. Everything is in walking distance.
