Anyone keen to see more of the surrounding region can also grab a cab to super-trendy Tulum - the non-ruin version - for a spot of shopping and people watching.If you go, be sure to pack/wear a bathing suit as the gorgeous beach is accessible from the ruins. A group tour of the ruins is included in the price, but it’s also easy (and faster) to educate yourself. I booked through AMSTAR, located in the lobby, but found it to be a bit of a cash-grab at $65 USD. Guests can hoof it to the must-see Tulum ruins, the sole Mayan city built on a coast, by getting a cab.I also encountered a barracuda, which had me swiftly paddling back to land.

Sadly the turtles are endangered, so be cautious to avoid disrupting any turtles or the sea floor. The region is known for its sea turtle population, including the Loggerhead and the Green Sea turtles, and you’re bound to come across a couple after a brief swim out. One of my personal favourites was a wine tasting, which had us sniffing wee bottles of scent from Le Nez Du Vin in order to hone our sense of smell and identify different aromas in Mexico’s Casa Madero wines.īe sure to take advantage of the snorkel equipment, which you can sign out for half an hour at a time. The Swedish massage was particularly enjoyable (you will have to pay some extra dollars) and don’t miss out on the hydrotherapy pool, complimentary for all hotel guests.

Guests are free to use the fitness room as well as the palatial spa, which seems to go on forever. Beach volleyball and pool aerobics in the pool are some of the many other options.

Pack your day full with everything from sunrise yoga through to Spanish lessons and The Beatles show come sundown. Amenities:ĭays can easily be filled with a clutch of activities, keeping guests from ever feeling bored. Oh and there’s a privacy boîte in the closet, which means that your room service guy can just leave your grub in there while you continue to percolate in the hot tub. Need proof of that adult only policy? The titillating Playboy channel is one of the few English-language options on the TV.

In-room amenities include a never-empty mini fridge (they’ll refill anything you sip on) and coffee maker, alarm clock with iPod dock, high speed Internet and flat screen TV. Touches such as embroidered pillows help inject a Mexican design sensibility into the space. (A two-headed shower was ideal for quick rinses.) My room - part of the Preferred Club offerings - included a king bed, inside and outside lounging areas and a wonderfully large hot tub, transforming bathing into an indulgent treat. The expansive resort has a grand tally of 434 suites, with the majority affording views out to the ocean. Lest we forget, a tropical tipple can be ordered up whenever your heart desires, be it a piña colada, a strawberry daiquiri or just a classic Corona.
