INSPECTION REPORT -- RIVERA MAYA
The growth of the 81-mile Riviera Maya south of Cancun has been phenomenal. Easily reached by car from the Cancun airport, you'll find a blend of Mayan history and culture with Caribbean chic. There are a variety of resorts to suit every taste and budget. Travel Crafter's Becky Craft visited a handful of properties and has this report:
Zoetry Wellness Resort & Spa (formerly Paraiso de la Bonita) Recognized as Conde Nast Travelers' "One of the 50 Hot Hotels in the World" and "One of the Coolest Places to Stay" plus "Best Spa of the Year" by Islands Magazine. Zoetry has its own water cellar with 15 brands of water plus a wine cellar with 5,000 bottles of wine. The focus here is all about wellness. Fitness classes, trainers, customized menus, unique spa treatments, and nutrition and self-improvement programs give guests the opportunity for rejuvenation. Special touches in the rooms include espresso machines, international cell phones with unlimited worldwide calls and a bottle of champagne and fruit replenished daily.
Fairmont Mayakoba There's little not to like at this 240-acre resort only 10 minutes from Play del Carmen. A perfect choice for families, active adults or meetings and conventions. Guests move easily around the resort via boats in a network of canals or by golf cart or bicycle. Room types vary from the traditional hotel-type room to suites and 2-story casitas with their own rooftop plunge pools. Twenty percent of the rooms are on the beach, the remainder are nestled among the lush mangroves and have beach or canal views. A 17,000 square foot 2-story spa features a wide variety of treatment options, fitness classes, the latest exercise equipment, saunas and steam rooms. Six pools, three restaurants and bars, daily activities, nature tours and organized children's programs keep everyone happy. Golfers will love the 18-hole, 72-par course - the first in Mexico designed by Greg Norman.
Rosewood Mayakoba Also in the Mayakoba area (halfway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen ) is this option from luxury group, Rosewood. Like the Fairmont Mayakoba, a series of canals weave through the resort but here each villa has its own dock where guests are transported to the beach, spa, main lobby, or restaurant. The 128 suites are contemporary in design and have private plunge pools and nice patio areas. Choose villas numbered in the 300's to be closer to the beach. I also liked the location of lagoon suites 414, 421-424. Beachside suites are perfect for people who insist on an oceanside location. Guests at Rosewood also have full access to the Greg Norman golf course (mentioned above). Pet lovers will be pleased to know that small pets (25 lbs. and under) are welcomed at this resort. A spa, multiple pools, fitness center, restaurants, cafes and bars complete this escape.
The Tides Located just north of Playa del Carmen, I had my doubts about this resort as I bumped along an unpaved road, past multiple construction sites and dust swirling in the air. Rest assured, once you turn down the drive and arrive at the resort you'll find an atmosphere of peaceful serenity. The property has a more rustic feel to it than the others mentioned here. Meandering paths lead you through a jungle-like lush growth of tropical plants and trees to the individual villas with private plunge pools. Villas feature an outdoor terrace with lounge beds, dining table, hammock, and even a "moon" shower. Inside, canopy beds, free WiFi, minibar, DVD and CD player complete the amenities. The Tides also features a spa complete with a traditional Mayan Temazcal sweat lodge used as a therapeutic and purifying ritual -- hmmmm, try it and let me know what you think.
Royal Hideaway Playacar This all-inclusive resort is more upscale than many of its Cancun counterparts, but I was not as excited about this resort as with some of the others mentioned here -- don't get me wrong, the Royal Hideaway gets great reviews so this is a personal preference. The resort attracts a lot of groups, weddings and honeymoons and couples. For families, it is important to note that children must be at least 13 years-old. The Royal Hideaway features a wide variety of room types and each building is staffed with its own concierge to assist guests in making reservations for the six restaurants, spa or other activities. Dinner shows are offered in their theater on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
Dreams Tulum Less than five miles from the Mayan archeological ruins, this would be a good base for exploring Tulum or the nearby nature preserve. This is an all-inclusive that doesn't feel like one. No wristbands or towel cards and only one of the seven restaurants has a buffet. Lots of daily activities, a spa, and organized children's programs. Good choice for families or family reunions.
Esencia 46-miles from the Cancun airport, this 29-room property is off the main road and somewhat isolated so it is great for an escapist retreat. The spa is fabulous. Wonderful spicy aromas, peaceful sounds of birds, running water and soothing music. A herb garden on the property provides the ingredients for your treatments. All buildings have smooth white stone (reminiscent of Greek villas). Rooms have fully loaded iPods, journals, essential oils, and candles. A tray of coffee, tea or hot chocolate is placed outside your door each morning. The hotel offers daily yoga or Tai chi classes. A "nanny on call" gives parents a chance to go to the spa or have dinner and enjoy some quiet time. This would also be a good choice for a mother-daughter or girlfriend spa getaway.
Maroma Only 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen, this 65-room Orient Express resort is also tucked off the road and access via a gated entrance. Easy to see why stars like Tom Cruise, Sean Penn or Robert Plant have enjoyed the privacy at this seaside resort. Sugar white beaches, rooms with cool tile floors, no televisions, programs such as nutritional counseling, weight loss de-tox, tequila tasting, three swimming pools, a full spa, plus three restaurants including alfresco dining on the beachside terraces. Snorkeling, round trip airport transfers from Cancun and breakfast daily can be included in the price. A very unique retreat, perfect for a special anniversary.
