When booking this stay I did not know it was an apartment and asked for a refund because l was traveling solo and did not want to book an air bnb. The owner denied me of my refund stating it says it in the booking, but it did not state this info. Also they did not provide any face towels. I was told they lived next door. For sanitary reasons and since they live close I did not think getting a face towel would be an issue and was told they aren't a hotel (which I thought l had booked). They advertise the pool in the photos, but you do not have access to it staying in room number one. The walls are very thin and l could hear all the noise from the neighbors and could not sleep. I left after the first night because of the noise. I went on vacation for peace and quiet, but this was not the right place for that. The place was clean. The location is good. From past reviews the owners will have a rebuttal, but this is my honest opinion. This was not the stay I was looking for.

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.

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

Mostly Good Review

Villas Picalu B&B is a nice place with clean, spacious bedrooms and large balconies. The English speaking staff is informed and cheerful. The grounds are well kept. There are numerous restaurants nearby. This is a gated community so do not expect it to feel "Mexican". It is a gringo enclave with gringo prices. Breakfasts were the weak link in this otherwise good value. They were composed of bread, butter, jam, bland scrambled eggs (no seasoning), very weak coffee and watered down juice. Unless they improve, you may want to eat out for breakfast. Alberto, our host, was very helpful and provided accurate information.

The accomodaions were not what one would find in the Omni, but my bedroom was clean, air-conditioned and had a shared bath. the hosts were very willing to help with any informaton about the area and/or arrange things, like taxis, or other transportation to other parts of the area. My only regret was that the pool did not appear, to me, like something I wanted to chance going into....but the couple/owmers looked as if they were trying to fix that. Enjoyed my stay.....

relaxing

Excellent hosts. excellent location for morning and evening walks to see the community and attractions just 2 minutes from the front door. The breakfast is great with local ingredients and a view of the widlife through the dining room door over looking the backyard and golfcourse adding for a relaxing yet entertaining experience. The cenote room which i stayed in was exceptionally clean. Only issue if i can call it one is that for room comfort,...i found the bed a little firmer than i'm use to. Again it's my opinion/prefference. The rate I paid for the room($65 per night) is extremely affordable given the local competition(Omni, Dreams, Cantalonia) in the gated area of Puerto Aventuras. I would happily use Villa picalu without a doubt for future stays in the Riviera Maya.
