Communication was excellent and friendly. Great location! Easy walk to tennis and restaurants. Very spacious apartment in a lovely villa. A/C worked great. I wish the pool was not murky and the towels were not synthetic. Again the location, the apartment, the staff were wonderful and I really liked the vibrant floral pattern of the sheets.

Excellent location. Facility was clean and well maintained. The amenities in the room were a disappointment. 3 hangers 2 small towels the kitchen chair literally fell apart. The outside chairs on the patio were extremely uncomfortable the bedsheets did not fit. They were very quick to fix chair and tend to the AC.

Our stay at Picalu Villas was alright. The location was convenient, with a short walk to the bus station, a large grocery store, and the beach. The pool appeared clean, though we didn't use it and the room had nearly all the amenities needed for a long stay, though it lacked beach towels and some salt and pepper.

However, a significant drawback was the construction noise from the house next door. The noise began promptly at 8 AM each day, with drilling and jackhammering that was quite disruptive. On the day of our checkout, I informed the host via WhatsApp about the construction and mentioned that it would have been helpful to know about this before our arrival so we could have made alternative arrangements or come prepared with earplugs as I didn’t see any reviews talking about the construction next door when we booked. The host’s response was dismissive, stating it was not their issue. I replied saying that I know there is not anything they can do I just wished they informed us before we got there, which he replied a thumbs-up emoji. This lack of professionalism and concern was disappointing and influenced our decision not to return.

If you don’t like construction just outside your window and a host that responds with emojis you might want to consider other accommodations.

Une grande chambre avec cuisinette très pratique pour ceux qui préfèrent manger à la maison. Pas de hotte donc prévoir ouvrir les fenêtres pour faire circuler les odeurs de cuisson. Climatisation seulement dans les chambres. L’eau chaude prend un certain temps à s’écouler et la pression est peu importante. Sinon, c’est un endroit modeste, sympathique, très propre et très tranquille pour ceux qui aiment se reposer loin des foules des grands hôtels tout compris. Le site dont l’accès est restreint par une guérite de sécurité est sécuritaire même le soir. On trouve au centre-ville tout ce dont on a besoin et plus. Marina, services et loisirs sont disponibles. La plage est dans une petite baie sans vague et l’eau y est cristalline et du plus beau vert aqua. Un grand bonheur pour moi qui voyageait seule. Je vous le recommande vivement.

Good experience

This was a very nice place to stay during my vacation to Mexico. Within close walking distance to both the main drag of Puerto Adventuras and the checkpoint entrance where you could easily catch a taxi or meet a tour bus.

I never met Sofia but she was wonderful to deal with and responded promptly to all of my inquiries and requests.

The only criticism I have is that the ceiling fan in my bedroom did not work. No one came to fix it. But overall, a positive experience. I would recommend it to a person or couple traveling to that part of Mexico

Spotless, with great access to sites of interest

The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable to use as a base for excursions in the Riviera Maya area. My preference would not be to stay in Puerto Aventuras because it is an enclosed gated community, but I needed to be nearby another hotel where a work conference was held. Villas Picalu is well located inside PA, as it is an easy walk to the main gate, outside which you can catch colectivos easily. And the location was still much preferable to an isolated all-inclusive resort, as PA has many nice cafes and restaurants surrounding a marina. As for Villas Picalu, the owners were incredibly acoomodating and helpful, and communication was very easy. They helped answer all my questions, and also helped arranged trips. Thank you for an incredibly positive experience! :)
