Great Value!
The hotel is top notch and well worth the money spent. The location is right off of 5th Avenue and very conveniently located. The beach is a short distance away from the hotel (about 5 minutes). The hotel is immaculate...well maintained and very clean. I would stay here again, for sure.

Great Off-Beach Hotel
Aventura Mexicana turned out to be better than expected for the price. While it wasn't on the beach, it was just around the corner from 5th street and a nice walk to Kool Beach, which we used every time at the beach. The hotel was spotless, the staff very friendly and helpful. Although I had read that the beds were hard, my husband and I slept fine, although I can't say the same for our daughters. Besides that, everything was fine.

Convenient location and family friendly
The Adventura Mexicana was very conveniently located, close to the beach access and to shopping on the famous 5th Ave. We got adjoining rooms for our big family which worked out great. We loved the hotel, it was clean and kid friendly, our kids felt safe. We enjoyed the balcony view off of our room to the pool so we could sit out on it and see the kids at the pool. We loved the showers, they were huge. Overall we were very pleased with the price and convenience.

Shop 5th Ave in the evenings and into the night for great entertainment and beautiful lights, etc. The beach by KOOLS off of 5th and 28th was a great place to hang out for the day, great service and you get a chair, umbrella, use of pool and shower for a small fee. The hotel gave us a discount coupon for there also.

Lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff
Great hotel with a very friendly and helpful staff. About a 5 minute walk from the beach and on a quiet street, but just around the corner from bustling 5th Avenue. Hotel gives you a beach towels and discount coupons for the beach club at the Mamitas Beach, where you can rent a beach chair and umbrellas (totally worth it). Pool and bar with 2 for one happy hour specials (happy hour = 1 pm till closing!) were a real treat! Hotel room was comfy and spacious. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Great location, great service!!!
Wow, that was my first impression of the hotel. The lobby was very impressive, and then we got our room. It was perfect, very spacious. What I really like was the location to 5th Ave and the beach, but it was very quiet at night. And the hotel staff, especially the guys at the front desk, were very helpful. Try Donna Mare and order the torta mixta and the chicken soup. What a combination. Love it. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cute hotel, excellent staff
My husband and I stayed at the Aventura Mexicana over New Year's. The location is awesome, only half a block from 5th avenue (lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping) and about 2 blocks from the beach. Pool was OK, water was chilly and only a few lounge chairs. It was well-maintained however. The continental breakfast was small (bread and pastries) but included fresh-squeezed OJ. We had a king size bed, very comfortable. The bathroom was just a toilet and shower, comfortable size. Good size closet/dresser. The staff was very helpful with every request we made, so polite and nice. We're already trying to plan a return trip!

Charming botique hotel near everything
Nice little hotel. We were escorted to our room by a friendly staff member who spoke excellent English. You can get lost in the maze, so make sure pay attention to where your room is! The restaurant/bar serves poolside which is really nice, and the location is near many restaurants and shops, not to mention the best part of beach. The hotel offers discount coupons for Kool beach club but they only work for the plastic lounge chairs (that were never available during our stay). I really enjoyed my stay at Aventura Mexicana.

Short walk from hotel
Two of the best places to eat are the Cuevo de Chengo (Cave of the Monkey) on 38th St near the beach and El Fogon across from Mega. Cuevo has great service, food and ambiance with a little stream running through the dining area. El Fogon doesn't look like much but the food is excellent and inexpensive. Well worth the walk from 5th Avenue.

We were looking for a hotel convenient to shopping, the beach and eating and drinking. We found all that and more at the Adventura Mexicana. The service was friendly and understanding when we locked ourselves out of our room within an hour of our arrival. The decor and beds were relaxing and the rooms and grounds were super clean and well maintained. There was no undue noise and the air conditioner worked great. We would stay there again in a second.

Take me back!
I want to go back!
The hotel was clean, friendly, welcoming, and had the perfect location along the main strip in Playa: close enough to be convenient yet far enough away to be quiet. You do have to walk a few blocks to the beach but unless you get one of the few beach-front hotels in Playa you can expect to walk a little ways. And trust me, it is worth it once you get to the white sandy beaches and turquois water. Quinta Avenida is filled with shops, restaraunts, art galleries, and travel kiosks that offer several tours/day trips/excursions. There are so many things to do close to Playa that we can't wait to come back. We spent the last 2 nights of our vacation in Cancun at a big resort and found ourselves wishing we were still at the Aventura Mexicana in our quaint poolside room.
