Top Hotels Near Kantenah Lagoon in Puerto Aventuras from AU$90

""The resort in Playa del Carmen had so many wonderful aspects—beautiful grounds, fantastic food, and most of the staff were exceptional. However, I had a deeply upsetting experience. After being seated in a restaurant, my girlfriend was asked to leave due to a dress code, which was incredibly embarrassing, especially since we were already seated. The assistant concierge manager’s response was frightening—he spoke in a threatening, almost thuggish way, and it left us uneasy, especially as tourists in a foreign country. I also made a mistake by reacting in anger and disrespecting her on the way out, and I deeply regret that. My reaction was a response to feeling powerless, but I take full responsibility. Despite this, I hope the resort addresses this behavior, because it otherwise has great potential. I give the resort 3 stars—the staff and setting were fantastic, but this incident left a serious mark on our experience.""

"Overall a pleasant stay - room was clean, beach was ideal for young kids since the report is essentially in a lagoon, staff was very friendly, food was delicious, grounds were beautiful and well maintained. One down side was the fact that you don’t make reservations for the restaurants for dinner - it’s all on first come first serve basis. We would wait up to 2 hours for a table and missed all the nightly entertainment. "

"The resort appears to be older but my room had signs of being renovated to be modern with an updated bathroom. The resort is clean with staff sweeping, collecting used drink cups, etc. Housekeeping did a great job keeping my room cleaned daily. The staff at the restaurants and pool were friendly. I booked my reservation at the resort using Expedia in order to join friends who were also staying at the resort. At the time of my booking, I was not made aware of the different tier reservations (VIP, etc.). My friends checked in two days before me and had the upgraded VIP booking. When I checked in, I was unaware of the tier bookings and requested to have the same tier booking as my friends so that I can access the VIP pool, restaurants, etc. but was denied the request by the front desk as there was no room available to match my friends booking tiers. This impacted my time spent with friends at the resort considering I could not join them in the areas they were allowed to be in. I would suggest including the tier information at the time of booking to avoid confusion when traveling with large groups who have separate bookings. Additionally, most of the reservation required restaurants were booked for 3 days after my arrival which left me with limited dinner options during my 4 night stay. Overall, the rate that I paid for my stay was comparable to my experience."

"We had an amazing stay. The condo was just what we were looking for - two thumbs up all around and highly recommend! "

"The buffets were great, rooms were large and clean. The resort was clean with plenty of activities to do for the whole family. The adults only section was amazing we will be back. Did not enjoy the pressure of signing up for a legendary package. Wasted 3hrs because we were told we had to sit there to receive our 200 per day credit "

"Staff was great an angel from entertainment was amazing as well "

"The house and area were absolutely top notch. House was clean and so accommodating for our family"

"Jean Louis is a great host. The condo is exactly as described. We liked having access to the lagoon and kayaks and having bikes was wonderful! Walking distance to beach and beach chairs, umbrella and cooler made it easy for us to spend time at the beach."

"Beautiful condo with great amenities! Unit was very well stocked and comfortable for 2 couples. We had both forgotten our hats and welcomed the variety to choose from at the condo! Owner was helpful and responsive. Other condo owners that were there were very welcoming when we were on the beach. Would stay again and recommend it."
