3. Rosewood Mayakoba
Rosewood Mayakoba fully immerses guests in the Riviera Maya’s beauty through its architecture and design. Not only is it flanked by the region’s famed crystalline sands and lush jungle, the resort is also constructed from local materials, such as Yucatan limestone and regional wood. Visitors especially praise the private terrace and heated plunge pool attached to each of the property’s 129 suites. And the welcome tequila, daily restocked fruit bowl and personal butler service exemplify an above-par level of hospitality. The culinary offerings at Rosewood Mayekawa’s seven restaurants and bars are another point of praise among recent guests. And, despite their high price tags, visitors say the unique treatments at Sense, A Rosewood Spa are well worth the indulgence. Once you’re feeling relaxed, perfect your swing at the adjacent El Chameleon golf course or soak up your surroundings with a biking or snorkeling adventure. You’ll find this Rosewood outpost just north of downtown Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in the Mayakoba resort complex.

But Las Ventana’s al Paraíso’s striking scenery is only part of its appeal. Travelers agree this Los Cabos hideaway is guaranteed to inspire romance. In fact, Las Ventana’s al Paraíso has an entire department devoted to amorous guests, with specialists who can arrange anything from private salsa lessons to personalized couples spa treatments. Should you crave more activity, the concierge staff can arrange tee times at four nearby golf courses; recent guests highly recommend taking a swing at Cabo Real Golf Club, a championship Robert Trent Jones II course (located about a mile away from the property). And as far as dining goes, you can head to any of the five on-site eateries and bars.
