This was an amazing location. The two restaurants had excellent food and I am a dietitian. I would recommend checking out bikes and riding around town-so much fun and we really got to see alot. My only complaint was our room was to close to the lobby and was very loud and hard to sleep. Ask for a room far away from the lobby. Also, if you don't have kids there is an adult resort next store, owned by the same resort. Beautiful place! You might want to stay there. More quiet than Cancun and great restaurants and shopping within walking distance from hotel. I felt very safe.
Great family vacation

Thought the hotel was great. It gives you so many options - with food, you have a good choice of restaurants and the kids can help themselves to a wide selection at the buffet. With the location - you can choose a day relaxing by the pool, just walk 5 mins to the lively 5th Ave or have an trip out to wonderful Mayan sites. Didn't need to rent a car.
Room was clean, well maintained and comfortable. Staff went out of their way to be helpful. There was no pressure to tip but I was happy to do so. Mexican min. wage is approx. $5 per day so a small tip can make a big difference.
Great palce, and location

We had a short stay at the Gran Porto Real, but the service, and comfort in those couple of days were great. Due to a delay in our flight, we weren't able to make it on our schedule date. We were not charged for the night eventhough it was part of our contract. 5th street is 2 minutes from the hotel, there you can find multiple shops, restaurants, and bars. Overall our experience was great.
wonderful vacation

The hotel was very beautiful and clean. The food in the buffet, Italian, and Mexican restaurants was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was in a great location within walking distance to the 5th Ave. and Cozumel ferry. The VIP room was nice to have after the bars closed. We would definitely stay there again.
Wheres the beach?

Nice hotel in the middle of Playa Del Carmen. Roooms were very nice but the rest of the hotel was not so nice. No A/C anywhere except rooms, there is no beach that is good enough to swim in, service was slow, loud hallways at night, sushi bar was not open and the bar was always running out of bananas. Many activities for the kids and a OK show at night for everyone. Stay at this hotel if you like shopping on 5th street, but don't like swimming in the surf.
