“This beachfront resort captures the essence of Playa del Carmen, placing you steps away from the vibrant Fifth Avenue while maintaining a sense of serene escape. The Mayan-inspired architecture and lush gardens create a unique ambiance, and the multiple pools offer ample space to unwind. I especially appreciate the focus on wellness, with a spa that incorporates authentic Mayan therapies.”
