Wonderful place, but sadly you can't invite a friend so make sure this is only for you and your not planning to have a pool and dinner with a long time friend in Mexico. Marco and Angie are wonderful and they will make sure you have anything you need.
The apartment complex is organised as "deeded fractional ownership " with most guests staying one month which gives a community feel to the property rather than a standard hotel. The Puerto Aventurus Marina area can only be accessed through a security gate, so felt very safe. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. Although they have a rather dated air conditioning system which, although ours was switched off a noisy compressor (I think) resulted in us having to wear earplugs.
All of Puerto Aventurus Marina area is one huge gated community. Beach 5 mins walk away. Lovely pool area where we watched the catamarans leave and return.
We had a 3-bedroom flat, and it was perfect for our needs. Since there are 3 bathrooms with toilet and shower split across 2 levels, everyone had privacy.
The pools are a really great addition, as the beach is a few minutes away on foot. Beach towels are provided, which was a good plus to avoid carrying wet things with us.
What a great stay we had at the Porto Bello. We really loved our room and the complex is great. We stayed in a 3-bedroom Villa and it was huge and very clean. We really appreciated how Villa had all the basics that we needed and more. The check-in was simple and the communication and staff were very good. For large families or groups, I recommend the Porto Bello. The only negative remarks that I have (which were really not that bad) is that the master bed squeaked like crazy every time you moved (very annoying), the WIFI did not work in most of the bedrooms and we would have liked if all bathroom came equipped with hair dryers. The public beach access is about a 10-minute walk away and easy to get to. It would have been a big plus if they had parasols that guests could borrow for the beach. Complimentary breakfast was delivered each morning to the room and was very convenient. It was not the best breakfast, but was definitely a plus. We will definitely be back! Thank you Porto Bello!
