Seaside sanctuary on a 200-acre jungle estate fronting a long white-sand beach, 45 minutes south of Cancún. The Maya-Moorish compound contains 65 guest quarters enhanced by handcarved furnishings and private verandas; request an Ocean View unit such as #2, #4, #9 or #12. Two fine seaside dining venues, including signature restaurant (El Sol) offering an innovative menu of Mexican/Mediterranean dishes. Three outdoor pools and calm, clear-water ocean swimming, plus reef snorkeling excursions and deep-sea fishing charters; also fitness center, first-class spa with open-air massage palapas, and day excursions to renowned Mayan sites. This is a romantic and restful Yucatán getaway, though the once-unspoiled coastline is beginning to sprout other hotels and developments.
Ocean View Junior Suite, from $1,065; Ocean View Master Suite, from $1,370.
Rates include daily full breakfast served at the restaurant or in room, a welcome margarita per person, Wi-Fi and use of fitness center.

Room are just ok, but the property is wonderfully romantic: candlelit walkways, breakfast on private patio, beautiful beach and extraordinarily romantic dinners overlooking the beach!
