7. Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancún
Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancún invites you to “Be Yourself” at its adults-only, all-inclusive resort situated in the middle of Cancun, Mexico’s Hotel Zone. And it certainly does not lack personalized touches. For sensitive swimmers, Live Aqua’s seven pools, including infinity and lap pools, come in varying temperatures, so one of them is sure to be just right. You’ll also have access to the beach, where you can post up in a private cabana. And as far as dining goes, you’ll have your pick of two bars, a coffee shop and eight restaurants, which serve everything from Mediterranean fare to traditional Mexican cuisine. When you’re ready to turn in for the evening, you’ll find a minibar, a flat-screen TV and a spacious bathtub and shower in your room or suite. Another bonus: Previous guests said the vistas overlooking the Caribbean Sea from the ocean-facing rooms are impressive. Past visitors also praised the gracious resort staff, who they said went above and beyond to cater to guests’ needs.
8. Jashita Hotel
Former guests frequently used words like “peaceful,” “heaven” and “beautiful” to describe Jashita Hotel, a boutique property in Soliman Bay. Situated about 10 miles north of Tulum, Mexico, the hotel earned kudos from past lodgers for its manicured grounds, beachfront seat and tranquil atmosphere. Make the most of the hotel’s location by kayaking, snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding or simply lounging by the property’s two pools. When you’re not taking in the bay views from the adults-only infinity pool, admire them from your digs, which feature free wireless internet access, a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates, Italian bed linens, a safe and a minibar, among other amenities. Or, if you really want to up the relaxation, indulge in a treatment at the spa. Aside from the location and the views, the restaurant was another highlight for past lodgers thanks to its delicious seafood dishes.
