Omni Puerto Aventuras Beach Resort

We were at the Omni for five days and it was perfect for us. Nice and peaceful. It's not the place to go for nightlife like clubs and such, but not to far from Playa if you're into that. The Omni is in a great location near Xel-Ha, Xar-et, Explor, and the various Mayan ruins. We did it all. Staff at this hotel was friendly and helpful, food was great. Had breakfast every morning watching the waves. hammock and private jacuzzi on the patio. Loved this place.

This is a lovely little boutique hotel providing a near full array of amenities in an intimate, serene, off-the-beaten-path little package. Beach is narrow but truly beautiful with powder-soft white sand and clear turquoise waters. Pool is very inviting. We never had any difficulty finding a palapa, shaded area or beach chairs - even after "sleeping in". Staff is courteous, friendly and happy to assist in any way possible. Rooms are contemporary, well appointed, comfortable with 2-person jacuzzi tubs and hammocks on every balcony. Balconies on the lagoon side are a bit less than completely private and somewhat noisy at night, but this usually abated by 10 or 11 pm. Continental breakfasts were included and voluminous with fresh fruit and pastries. Also some of the best habanero hot sauce i have ever experienced! Overall, this 30-room hotel feels like a secluded, undiscovered paradise - the perfect venue for a quick romantic getaway.

Overall, great experience! Good: - Nice to have hotel services (included breakfast, room service, etc.), which are not provided if renting one of the surrounding condos. - Friendly and courteous staff, some of the best I've ever experienced. - Clean room with nice views (we were marina side, could see everything what was happening on main street and in dolphin pen). - Great location (beach on one side, marina w/restaurants and shops on other). - Breakfast delivered to room, or credit given for attached El Xenote restaurant (both of which were excellent). - Prices for goods out of room mini-fridge were a little high, but not unreasonable. - Friendly people an great service in surrounding restaurants as well. - Very quiet area - no wait a restaurants, only a few dozen people on the entire beach. Bad: - "Domestic dispute" in room next to us (which I guess is handled a little differently in Mexico...) on first day. They were removed before early evening, though. Probably not common. - Mini-fridge in room is pre-stocked, and you are charged for anything you take out. There is only enough room to put in a couple of your own canned drinks. - Low-flow shower head (of course, every hotel has these, anyways). Tips: - Check exchange rates: changed USD to Pesos in Puerto for 1:12.50, changed back in Atlanta for 1:11.50. Score! - Get a margarita from the lobby bar at the Omni. - Red bull is only available in the small grocery store on the opposite side of the marina, not the larger one next to Cafe Ole. - Bring Neosporin from home. $180 Pesos (~$15 USD) for tube from pharmacy in Puerto, $3-$4 USD at home. You will probably get a few cuts from coral. - You can haggle in stores. (Girlfriend wanted a cheap pair of sunglasses to take to the beach. Girl in store offered $200, then $180 Pesos. Girlfriend said she wanted something for a max of $10 US to take to beach/get scratched. Girl sold her glasses for $100 Pesos.) But be reasonable, these are not rich people.

The Omni is a quiet little hotel in a great location directly in the marina town. Shops and restaurants are just steps away. We had a marina view room with a large balcony and a clear view of the dolphin shows - that was a treat! The beach was a disappointment - very small and not much room to spead out from other people. I imagine the beach was much better before the hurricane a few years ago. Not much the hotel can do about that. The room was not huge, but large enough for two people. It was spotlessly clean with a Sony plasma TV. We had a large shower with a sliding door directly to the balcony. The king size bed was not very comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.

were there for a wedding at a nother resort. Stay at the Ohmni was just to relax and enjoy ourselves

It is a good small hotel with a very good location if you are visiting other areas within the riviera maya (Tulum, Xelha, Xcaret, Playa del Carmen, etc). The experience was overall good except for the staff in the pool bar. They were terribly rude and unfriendly.
