We just got back from a week vacation at the Aventura Mexicana. My wife & I have stayed in small and medium sized hotels all over the world and we rate this as one of the best.
The staff at the main desk were fantastic. Antonio, Gimena & Jose were always willing to assist, and always with a sincere and friendly smile. After a few days we came to know them personally and looked forward to seeing them. Jose, thanks for the Spanish language lessons!

The room, courtyard, pool, and restaurants were always spotless, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, and the entire staff were polite and friendly. We looked forward to seeing Gloria's new towel sculpture each day. What a really nice added touch!

We will certainly be back, and will most definitely recommend to our friends.

This was a great hotel. Staff were very friendly, rooms were a good size and very clean. One of the rooms had a fridge which was a great treat. Small pool, continental breakfast, towels for the beach, free internet at any time rounded out a great stay. It's fairly conveniently located, meaning steps from 5th avenue yet far enough away from the action that you could easily get some sleep in the evenings. You couldn't beat the price either.

We stayed at Aventura Mexicana for a week at the end of May, beginning of June. It is a very cute little hotel, very well maintained in a great location. In general we prefer smaller places that aren't isolated so this fit the bill nicely. We booked after reading great reviews, originally we had booked on the adult side but my step daughter was able to join us so we had to move to the family side to fit 3. Both sides are very pretty and well maintained, I didn't see any of the adult rooms but I think we would have preferred that side as it seems the rooms we a little more private. The room we did have was right beside the pool off the sidewalk, the 'patio' basically part of the sidewalk. There were few kids so noise wasn't a factor we just felt a little exposed, we could have complained and moved but honestly it was such a minor complaint. The staff was very friendly and accomodating so I doubt it would have been an issue if we had.
The breakfast was good, continental is what it is, toast and some good pastries if you are there early but for $35 pesos they make and excellent Mayan omelet, well worth it. Beside the Mayan Bistro there is also a little sushi bar attached to the hotel, excellent sushi and a very pleasant surprise!
The location was great, in the midst of the action but apart enough not to be annoyed by it. The Kool beach club seemed a bit expensive even with the coupon, we went to Mamitas another day and got front row loungers, though not padded for $3/day which was way better. Of course that day was not the best weather, I would bet prices change depending on the weather.
5th Ave is right there offering great restaurants and tons of shopping, bars, people watching etc in each direction, fun just to stroll. The Mega is a huge grocery store a couple blocks away on Constituyentes, it has everything you would need and excellent prepared items (six station ceviche bar for example), if it had just been my husband and I we would have taken out food from here for most meals.
The only complaints I would have, though minor, are that the lighting in the room wasn't great, especially over the sink, seemed like 20w max, hard to see shaving, makeup etc. and the lack of towel racks or robe hooks. The towels come as cute little sculptures on the bed everyday but after use there is no where to put them, especially with 3 adults in one room.
I would definitely recommend this hotel. Especially to those who prefer the smaller setting close to everything but not in the middle of it all and enjoy the local feel when visiting other countries.

Great Location in the middle of everything in Playa yet completly private. A short pleasent stroll to beautiful beaches and world class quisine. The property itself is a romantic hide- a- way. Sipping the best mojoitos in Mexico poolside in a perfectly manicured tropical setting was a highlight of our stay at Hotel Aventura Mexicana. The two restaurants are excellent and very affordable with excellent service. The room was immaculate with all the necessary amenities. Front desk service was outstanding. We will definitely return to this property!
