Aventura Spa Palace was beautiful - the spa, lobby, pool etc where gorgeous. The grounds and landscaping were impeccable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. (I wasn't crazy about the time share people, even though we knew about them before we went, it still isn't completely clear when you arrive who works for the hotel and who works for the time share.)
The amenities were endless.... yoga, gym, snorkeling, tennis, basketball, bicycling, kyaking, I can't even think of everything. The lagoon was good too. At times we missed not having a beach (we knew there was no beach before we went), but then the lagoon was great. It was fun for snorkeling.
The things that I didn't think were that great - the food and the room. Both were very unimpressive for a 5 star hotel and for the price they charge. I expected a better room with a more comfortable bed. As far as the food, we didn't have a single meal that was impressive. The desserts were downright awful.
We did enjoy our stay, Aventura is a beautiful place and there were so many things that we did enjoy. I just don't think it deserves 5 stars.
I'll write a full report as soon as I get my pictures uploaded.
