Villas del Mar # E207
Condo - Buena Vida
Puerto Aventuras Riviera Maya - Mayan Riviera
2 bedroom condo rental in Puerto Aventuras Mexico
maximum occupancy of 6 people

Buena Vida or 'The Good Life' is exactly what this gorgeous, 1850 square foot, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, ocean-view condo offers.  Conveniently located in the very desirable Villas del Mar condo complex of Puerto Aventuras within walking distance to numerous restaurants, services and activities you could not be better situated. 

Buena Vida is spacious, with an open design, commanding views, and offers all of the amenities one would expect in an upscale condo rental. 

Buena Vida is part of Puerto's premier condo complex 'Villas del Mar.'  This upscale development has five buildings clustered in a wide horseshoe arrangement around a large lawn/garden/pool area.  The pool and grounds alone would be enough to satisfy most anyone, however it doesn't end there.  Villas del Mar fronts one of the most gorgeous powdery white sand beaches you can imagine.  It truly is an inviting and idyllic spot.  You will most certainly know you are on a luxurious Riviera Maya vacation when you experience it all. 

Adding to the appeal of this location is your proximity to the many services and attractions Puerto Aventuras has to offer.  In less than 5 minutes you can be teeing up to play golf, climbing into a dive boat, headed off to catch a sailfish, dining in a tranquil outdoor restaurant, swimming with dolphins or shopping for a special gift.  Of course, that is only if you can drag yourself away from the terrace with its' wonderful view, then past that great swimming pool and beyond the gin clear Caribbean waters.

Buena Vida is on the first floor of the new 'E' building with an elevator for access for those who don't want to walk the short flight of stairs.  This is the last building in the complex and serves to close the horseshoe arrangement.  The complex is gated with private security.  There are private tennis courts and plenty of parking for those who choose to rent a car. 

Upon entering Buena Vida you can't help but be taken by the spaciousness and quality finishing of the condo.  You will immediately be drawn to the sliding glass doors that cover the entire frontage of the living/dining room.  As soon as you open them up to step out on that inviting terrace, you will learn that the sliding doors all slide back into hidden pockets in the wall to bring the outdoors right inside.  The effect is quite stunning.

In addition to the fabulous view of the grounds, pool and ocean, the terrace has a dining table for enjoying your meals al-fresco, and a cozy corner bench to curl up with a book.  This terrace extends all the way to the master bedroom where 2 wicker chairs offer a tranquil spot to enjoy the sunrise over a morning coffee.

The living/dining room is spacious, open, comfortable and provides a wonderful view.  A wrap around couch offers a relaxing place for everyone to gather for conversation or to watch a movie on the DVD equipped cable TV system with some English programming.

The dining table is perfect for 4 but can handle 6.  A large pass through counter to the kitchen provides a great bar or buffet table.  The layout and amenities of this fully equipped kitchen ensures that should you decide to eat in, you will find everything you need and the cook will never feel like they are tucked away in a corner somewhere.  The kitchen counters are done is stylish local marble and accented by the native custom built kitchen cabinetry.  This condo even boasts a dishwasher which is something that is only found in a handful of condos in the area.  

A half bath at the entrance and a utility room with washer and dryer are provided for your added convenience.

The master suite is at the far end of the condo and is quite large.  A slider opens up to access the terrace where you will find a couple of wicker chairs to enjoy your morning coffee while you watch the sun rise over the ocean.  A comfortable window bench is bright and inviting should you wish to loose yourself in a book or your thoughts away from the group.  The King size bed mattress, linens and towels are all of high quality and most comfortable.  

The master suite has an attached bathroom with glass block shower and double sinks gives you plenty of space to prepare yourselves for a special night out at one of the romantic restaurants on the marina.  There is a vanity between the bathroom and bedroom adding to the spaciousness of the room.

The guest bedroom is also bright, well appointed and quite spacious.  A King bed with quality mattress and linens ensures a comfortable night of rest and inspires pleasant dreams of warm Caribbean days spent frolicking on the beach.  A futon couch/sofa bed folds out to create a double bed if required.  Cable TV is located in the room.  The attached full bath has quality towels and a hairdryer for your convenience.

Here are some of our GUESTS COMMENTS:

Dear #3 at Arnies....  Although the palm trees are a little thinner on the top (thanks to Wilma &Emily) Puerto is still our favorite place.  We enjoy the sunrise on Arnie's deck (yes we get up that early) and a nice glass of wine in the evening to the cool caribbean breeze.  The new restaurant in town called Trebol (clover) Irish sports bar, good food and the best bano.  We are retuning for 3 weeks next year.  Wendy & Keith, March 2006

Arnie & future guests,  We enthusiastically agree with all the previous entries that extol the virtues of this setting, this beautiful condo and how well equipped it is.  The pool & tranquil beach are perfect for our two children, ages 7 & 4.  We visited Xcaret on a Monday and found the place remarkable and surprisingly uncrowded.  We had good times at Buena Vida (restaurant - bar in Akumal), Casa Cenote (Tankha), La Caprichoa (Playa del Carmen) and Leo's Pizza (Chemuyil)  Also the quality of restaurants in Puerto Aventuras has improved over previous experience.   At the end of the day, the sight and sound of the nearby sea gives a sense of serenity that even the best restaurants don't approach.  We love it here and hope to return.  Our only disappointment is the apparent lack of recycling in an area that prides itself in eco-parks, the environment and ecology.  Mack, Gwen, Jill & Matthew F,  NJ

This is our second time here.  The place is still as beautiful as ever.  The pool, the beach and the ocean were very relaxing.  Two weeks without any rain, although the ocean was very rough for a few days.  We didn't get as much snorkeling or scuba as we would liked but 'hey' it beats shoveling snow.  Wendy & Keith Osborne.  Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada.

Paradise !  we have found it here.  Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo - we can't wait to return.  This is truly paradise - Mimis food is awesome -from the deserts to the sandwiches we loved it all.  Mango daquiris in the blender will never taste the same in Seattle.  Steve, Linda, Diane & Jeff

Arnie, What a beautiful place you have allowed us to stay in for our time here.  This is exactly what we've been looking for!!!  A beautiful beach, nice pool and great snorkeling!!  It was a nice break from the snow and cold in Minnesota.  Everyone was nice and helpful.  you home was equipped beyond belief - it made cooking and doing our own things much easier.  Thank you again for allowing us to stay here.  We are already planning our return visit next year.  Renie S, Stephanie N, Nicole N, Eagan.  Feb. 12-19,2005

Dear Arnie & Future Guests:  There is a joke in our family about how we like to sleep under the stars - 4 or 5 of them!!  At Buena Vida we found just that!  Arnie your villa exceeded our expectations and we loved the view.  Thanks for choosing the wall of glass with such a gread view of the grounds and ocean.  Thanks also for providing such a well equipped home.  We've rented before and have never experienced such generosity - right down to coffee in the cupboard & go-cups too!!.......... Thanks again Arnie for opening your private paradise to guests.  We'll definitely be spreading the word to all of our snowbird friends in Canada.  Reg, Barb, Gillian & Greg Giesbrecht.  Winnipeg

WOW! That was our first impression of this gorgeous villa.  The Villas del Mar complex is absolutely beautiful and so well cared for.  We enjoyed the solitude of the complex as this was the 'off-season'.  We usually had the entire pool to ourselves.  We only had to share the beach with a handful of people.  It was nice to the beach bartender from Omni come down to our complex to offer drinks. We went to Cozumel for a day.  not sure if we'd do that again.  Playa del Carmen and Cozumel are very busy.  A lot of people and a lot of venders yelling for your attention.  Snorkeled in Cozumel, but to tell the truth, we saw just as many beautiful fish snorkeling right here at our beach.  If you like action you will love Cozumel and Playa del Carmen...... Our favorite time spent was right at the complex.  We loved the relaxing pace and the natural beauty.  Thank you for sharing your villa with us.  Tricia & Marc Connolly.  Buffalo NY

You are right!  This is the 'Good Life' !  We had a wonderful stay here in your beautiful condo.  So much nicer than we ever imagined.  We were all blown away by the incredible snorkeling right off the gorgeous beach.  The food in the village was great - we were never disappointed.  Banana pancakes at Cafe Ole and we enjoyed their music on Wednesday night.  What fun.  Several guidar players, singer a guy playing the stel drums and Lenny on the harmonica.  Very enjoyable.  The fajitas at Dos Chiles were very good for lunch...... Everything was special! Thank you so much.  We will be back. Debbie, Don, Brad, Jessica.  Louisville KY.

We had an awesome time on our trip - The village of Puerto Aventuras is the greatest place, and Villas Del Mar was soooo beautiful. We will most likely be contacting you next year so that we can visit again - I don't think we would ever go anywhere but Puerto now!!!!  Even just being able to watch the dolphins every day would bring us back.  Doug, thank you so much for letting us know about this condo and setting everything up for us - this really was the best trip we have ever had to Mexico.  Freezing in Winnipeg, Shannon, Jason, Delaney, Nevin, Brenda

Buena Vida was so much more than what we expected and we got really spoiled while we were there.  The condo has all of the comforts of home and then some.  The kitchen was so well stocked and clean, clean, clean.  We really hated to leave to  continue our adventure in Cozumel.  We would definitely recommend to our friends and may end up coming back again next year. It sure beats staying a tiny cramped hotel room, and actually more cost effective!  Julie Boyer, 

We had a wonderful time and the condo was even nicer than we expected...such attention to detail.  The pool and beach were wonderful and I think we ate at almost every restaurant in the village...but not all.   We will definitely be back...more to see and do and of course a wonderful place to relax.  Thanks so much,   Debbie Fontaine April 04.

Hey Doug & Twyla and an early Happy New Year to you!!   We arrived safely and wanted to let you know that Buena Vida is everything you described AND MORE!  Gotta love that wall of glass that opens to a totally panoramic view!!  We'll leave a more detailed referral message once we get back home to the snow.  Meantime, thank you for helping us to this spot.  It is fabulous and such a wonderful respite from what we've already discovered in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.  from the comfort & friendliness of Cafe-Cafe Barb & Reg Giesbriecht and family Dec. 28/04

Mona -- we received the check today.  Thanks for sending it so quickly.   We had a wonderful stay in Puerto Aventuras -- the condo is beautiful, and it was nice to know that Judy and Gerry were available if we needed anything.  We've rented many condos, and this was by far the best-equipped.  We really appreciated the attention to detail (and the mid-week cleaning service!).   Our two little girls had so much fun on the beach and in the pool.  Our 3-year-old still talks about it every day.  We will definitely be back!    Thanks again to you, Doug and Twyla, and Gerry and Judy for a great vacation --   Lisa, Jeff, Isabelle and Alexandra, May 2005
