Aventura Cove Palace All Inclusive Playa Del Carmen

Hotel beautiful. Regular staff very friendly and helpful. Food good. 1500 credit a crock not at all what it's cracked up to be - very limited on what excursions you can use it for! Beware of the sale sharks trying to rope you into a membership! they sucker you into what was to be a 90 minute speech by promising you a free gift and saying it's ok if you say no. Well in the beginning they are all nice and smiles but boy when you say no - ATTITUDE city!! They kept sending different sales people to try and persuade you and before you knew it 1/2 day gone - then they blame you for it taking so long but what part of NO (multiple no's) don't they understand!! They continue to hound you up to the day before you departed, leaving messages on your phone to come back to talk more. Spoke to a black band presidential member who said don't do it, not worth it and wished he had never joined himself. He approached us not knowing we were just pecked almost to death by these people - warning us these people would try their hardest to rope us into buying a membership (very costly). This hounding really put a damper on my vacation - don't think i will ever go back! What a shame! Also beware of the piranhas at the airport offering deals on excursions RUN FAST past them don't stop and talk or you will be sorry! If they want people to return they should leave them alone and let them enjoy their vacation. If you rent a car beware at the gas stations - they will rip you off - make sure you watch the gas dial when they are pumping the gas. Playa del Carmen not worth the time - set up like a flea market but they keep yelling at you to come to them to buy - you can't even enjoy looking. Tulum, Akumal, Xcart and renting a car on Cozumel a must!! What was to be a relaxing and fun vacation turned out to be a so so one because of the sales stuff at the resort and airport. I would highly suggest refusing any so called free gifts and if possible book your excursions online before going so you can avoid any dealings with the sale staff at the resort or the airport. Hope this saves you aggravation so you can enjoy your vacation.
