“This beachfront resort captures a serene village vibe amid Playa del Carmen's bustle, with its Mayan-inspired design creating a distinct sense of place. I appreciate the multiple pools and varied dining, though the spa's Mayan therapies stand out for a truly immersive experience. Its balanced setting-secluded yet close to the action-makes it a compelling choice.”
