Puerto Aventuras is a gated marina community between Playa del Carmen and Akumal, built around a yacht harbor with restaurants, a dolphin center and a golf course. Stays range from the Catalonia resorts and condo hotels on the marina to the big Hard Rock resort just north of town; the area suits families and boaters who want a quiet base about an hour from Cancun Airport.
