Comprising just 40 luxury villas and one presidential villa, this beautiful property has a lovely location with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea from the pool and restaurant area.
It is an adults only hotel creating a wonderful calm, peaceful and relaxing environment. The beach is a lovely stretch of white sand and although there are rocks in the sea out front which means swimming directly from the beach is not really possible, they have a private pier and dock from which you can take a dip in the warm waters of the Caribbean and the pool at the hotel is wonderful.
There is a casual beachfront restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel also has the excellent 'La Marea' fine dining restaurant which is open for dinner and serves a variety of innovative local and international dishes with a well-stocked wine cellar. They often have barbecue nights or chef's table theme nights in the restaurant too. A $20 taxi ride will take you to Playa del Carmen 15 minutes away if you would prefer a night out.
Despite the cost of onsite services, this is a luxurious and peaceful beachfront hideaway offering excellent service, beautifully appointed rooms, and a full range of amenities and services.

Rooms
The luxurious villas are located throughout well-manicured tropical gardens and all, except the ocean-view villas (which are nearer the pool and more open to view), are well hidden from each other and accessed by winding paths through the property providing maximum privacy. They are all spacious and contemporary in decor combining a secluded outdoor living space with beautiful and well-appointed rooms. Villas feature a private terrace, outside shower and heated plunge pool as well as a king-sized bed or two double beds, hand stitched bed linens and state of the art media centers.
The more executive villas offer large freestanding deep-soak bathtubs, sweeping views of the jungle, beach or ocean and exclusive in room butler service.
For a really special stay we can recommend the two-story Ocean View villa, which has double doors in the bedroom that fold out to award guests with exceptional views over the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. The separate living area provides space for relaxation with views overlooking the private garden and plunge pool leaving guests feeling like they are in their own paradise.
