I'm considering the "Porto Real" Resort in Playa del Carmen for Feb. of 2000. Hotel must be clean, friendly and the snorkelling "superb". I've been to PDC (day trip from Coz') so the info I request is more specifically about the resort and the overall "atmosphere". Also considering Oasis Puerto Aventura and Club Oasis Akumel. Any and all info to help in the decision process GREATLY appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Hi John! <BR>Akumal is the best of the Maya Riviera! We just bought a place down there. If I can help you with any info, just email me..g

Hello- I've stayed at the Porto Real- I think you'd be pleased. The only downer is the beach area- kinda rocky etc. The pool area is great, lounging along the beach good. Walk to the public beach is short if ocean swimming is your cup of tea. Snorkel boats offered Are fine.

I am going to the Oasis Puerto Aventuras in 3 weeks, will let you know, of e-mail me after the 1st and ask me, incase I forget. there are 12 of us going, I am a TA, well traveled, should be able to give you an honest opinion, got this at a great price and figured we would give it a shot, out third trip there this year...LOVE PCD..don't know about5 Puerto Real, but know I have had happy clients at the Club Viva Maya, Reef Club Playacar, Iberostar, Riu Yucatan, Royal Hideaway, and some others....will let you know!

Sorry about all the typos in the responnse above, I am very tired tonight, but thought I would repond...should not have, looks like I cannot type, but it is not the fingers, but the brain that is suffering tonight, just a really long and busy day...not the easiest clients today, think I have checked prices on every London Hotel for this one corporate client today...
