Next up on my recent tour of Riviera Maya is the incredible Maroma, a Belmond Hotel, which recently reopened after an extensive renovation.

Maroma is beautifully situated between the lush jungle of Riviera Maya and the tranquil Caribbean sea. The beachfront location of Maroma is unique to the area as most properties are set back from the beach. It truly feels like a Caribbean escape in the heart of Riviera Maya.

The resort boasts light, airy, art-filled rooms decorated in an indigenous style. Maroma is a secluded hideaway where guests can enjoy beachfront restaurants, artisanal mezcals (my new favorite cocktail), rare wines, fresh cuisine, and rejuvenation at the Guerlain spa.

During my time Maroma I loved experiencing the beachfront accommodations (complete with a pillow menu for optimal sleep), drinks at Freddy’s Bar, and memorable dining experiences at Casa Mayor and Woodend (a restaurant by renowned chef Curtis Stone).

Attention to detail is strong Maroma, especially following the partnership of Belmond and luxury powerhouse LVMH.

Who is Maroma good for? I think Maroma is great for anyone looking for an authentic, luxury getaway in Riviera Maya. I truly felt like I was in Riviera Maya, as Maroma features a strong sense of place, which is very well done.

If you’d like to experience Maroma yourself, don’t hesitate to reach out to start planning your getaway! I loved this special place in the Yucatán and can’t wait for clients to experience the magic of the area.

I’m just back from a trip to Riviera Maya, where I was able to visit two incredible properties before traveling to Cancun for a travel industry conference where I met with over 400 colleagues and partners.

My first stop was Rosewood Mayakoba, which is located just 45 minutes from the Cancun airport, making it an easy spot for a sunny vacation.

Rosewood Mayakoba is situated among protected mangroves and features direct beach access, multiple pools, an adults only beach club, creative dining outlets, an expansive kids club, and extremely attentive and kind staff.

With all suite style rooms, the accommodations are spacious and feature plunge pools for a quick dip after the pool or beach. The property is expansive, so it’s important to know where you’d like to be within the property for your stay. I loved being close to the main dining and pool, but some guests may want to be closer to the beach.

During my stay I loved lounging by the pool, grabbing a Mezcal cocktail at Zapote Bar before dinner, and enjoying dinner at Rosé one evening, a special Italian dining experience at Casa del Lago during the month of October. Prior to visiting Rosewood Mayakoba I didn’t understand the hype around Mezcal, but now I do!

Who is Rosewood Mayakoba good for? Whether you’re looking for the perfect spot for a family getaway or a quick vacation as a couple, it’s a beautiful destination to spend time connecting with family and friends.
