I suggest you go to tripadvisor.com and search for the Puerto Aventuras forum. It is a pretty active forum and I am sure you will get accurate information.

This is a very family oriented resort. I was there last month and spent some time on the beach and public areas. Maybe one or two topless sunbathers in the crowd, but not an obvious 'trend'. Lots of families, kid's activities etc.

is this a good resort or would you recommend another one....was it nice....how were the waves

I didn't stay there. I was in a private condo nearby, and walked over to the Sunscape a few times to check out the scene. So I can't speak to the quality of the resort. The beach is fairly protected, (kind of has a man-made feel to it) , with gentle waves. There is good snorkeling just off the beach- but it is a small area. I think you'll have a good time, but would recommend that you take a taxi down to X-pu Ha beach for a more "real" beach experience, and also up to Playa Del Carmen if you're looking for a party scene. Puerto Aventuras is pretty mellow at night.

There's definitely no nudity allowed, and even topless is somewhat frowned upon at the main pool are beach area (I believe there is even a sign that says "no topless, can't remember). I have seen someone told to put their top on, yet another day someone else who was topless was not told to cover up. There is an adult pool on the other side of the main building, perhaps topless is more accepted there - can't say as I didn't use that pool. This resort is run by an American company, it attracts a lot of American families and as such, I believe it's more "prudish" with it's rules.

The beach is small and manmade, hard packed with not too much sand on top. The snorkeling isn't that good in front, the reef is mostly dead. You'd be better off with a trip south to Akumal if you want to do some decent snorkeling.

There are no clubs in the area and the resort is pretty quiet at night, you have to go into Playa for nightlife. If that's what you're looking for, you're better off staying closer to town, perhaps in the Playacar area.
