Take a deep breath: you are finally in Mexico! And the Rosewood Mayakoba is ready to make your experience at the Playa del Carmen an unforgettable one. Not only do you get to indulge in a 1,600-acre resort on the Caribbean with all the gorgeous landscapes and fruity drinks your heart desires, but you’ve picked a location certified by the Rainforest Alliance. This Mayan-inspired destination is the best of both worlds, allowing you to indulge in your dream getaway as well as satisfying your inner-explorer with all that the Riviera Maya has to offer.
Known for the tranquility of its surroundings, the Rosewood Mayakoba suites accommodates you with rooftop sundecks, plunge pools, expansive terraces, and even boat docks. These private suites boasts the height of luxury, with your pick on the level of seclusion you desire and a large choice of different services.
The most expansive suite available is the Casa Laguna, with three bedrooms, a private pool, a private dock, five staff members, and bicycles for each guest being just some of the services offered.
The Rosewood Mayakoba also offers many activities on-site, such as kayaking, beach volleyball, beach soccer, and snorkeling. Horseback riding on the beach is wildly popular (especially for a romantic outing) and there are special services for the resort’s youngest guests, including fun activities during the day and evenings depending on the season.
Fine dining in the Riviera Maya is unlike anywhere else; the options provided by the Rosewood Mayakoba allow you to choose between the gorgeous views accompanied by Mayan specialties at Punta Bonita, contemporary Italian at Casa Del Lago, and the delights of Agave Azul Sushi & Tequila Bar. Gastronomy is at the heart of any exotic voyage, so the Rosewood Mayakoba invites its guests to different culinary adventures: Epicurean Encounters with a Mayan Bees Farm Tour encourages sustainable practices by preserving their bee cultures, an ancient tradition. Tequila tastings and local food showcases are available, all to ensure a truly robust Mexican experience.
The Rosewood relaxation facilities offer such pleasing amenities that the real world wonder is that anyone leaves the spa at all. A heated pool, saunas and steam rooms, Jacuzzi, a refreshing plunge pool, a fully equipped gym and yoga and meditation classes guarantee that you will leave with a body feeling rejuvenated. Sense, A Rosewood Spa®, is actually secluded away from the rest of the resort on an island. Using treatments inspired by Mayan techniques, a truly sumptuous session is sure to leave all guests feeling the therapeutic benefits that will linger long after they have left.
Surrounded by lush jungle, guests are inspired by the best of the tropics while being close to the second largest coral reef in the world. The Playa del Carmen village is a mere half hour away. However, the rich Mayan history of Mexico is the real draw. The archaeological Mayan Ruins of Tulum tower towards the rising sun on a cliff, offering a phenomenal view. Visitors can explore Sian Ka’an, a coveted and protected site, swim in beautiful underground caves with their glorious formations, and snorkel in the clear waters. Xcaret Eco Theme Park, only 15 minutes away, offers tours of the barrier reef and evening performances depicting the rituals of the past.
At the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Chichen Itza’s pyramid stands tall as the 1,500-year-old star of Mayan legends. View this old-world giant on foot for a close-up look, or see it from a bird’s eye by aircraft. Visitors are also tempted by the natural wonder of Cenote Ikil, a sinkhole, or the charming town of Valladolid. Lastly, one shouldn’t miss Coba, a Mayan ceremonial center in the rain forest with temples lurking beneath the cover of green where you can uncover stories surrounding the belief that centuries ago, the world was due to meet its end.
For those looking to explore modern wonders as well, Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen offers plenty of shopping and an excellent atmosphere for an evening promenade. If you venture to Cancun, La Isla Shopping Village shelters over 150 shops underneath its canopy. For luxury boutiques and high-end shopping, consider Kukulcan Plaza & Luxury Avenue. A more commercial experience can be found at Market 28, an enourmous flea market in Cancun where local treasures, art, and handmade crafts are sold by Mexican vendors. Anyone who is serious about art simply cannot miss out on the renowned Casa de Cultura.
Naturally, this inspiring environment is prime for events of any occasion, be it for business, a themed party, or a wedding. The Rosewood Mayakoba lagoon is the epitome of a dream wedding location, and the resort is honored to make accommodations for any ceremony. Meetings can be organized both indoors and outdoors for up to 100 people or up to 140 guests for events. Themed parties such as Mayan, Caribbean, or White can be requested for a magical evening on the Mexican Riviera.
The Rosewood Mayakoba remains the ideal spot in this vibrant area. Your experience is sure to be enriched with rooms and facilities that are above and beyond, a dedicated staff, and the beach all within arm’s reach of a cultural hotspot.

September 16, 2016 at 9:54 pmIt’s probably one of my favorite places to stay in Mexico by far. The bathroom was probably my favorite place to be. It was like showering outdoors.

September 16, 2016 at 7:12 pmI love the indoor tree, I wish I could have that in my place!
Carmen Edelson
September 16, 2016 at 9:55 pmI loved that they built the resort around the tree and kept it in place. It certainly adds more character to the lobby area.

September 16, 2016 at 9:58 pmThe best way to see a place in through pictures I believe. The Rosewood Mayakoba is such a beautiful resort that it would be hard to take a bad photo.

September 17, 2016 at 10:39 amThey really outdid themselves with the design of the lagoon suites. You feel like you’re in a dream and this is what paradise should look like.

September 17, 2016 at 7:04 amThe resort looks fantastic! It looks like my kind of place. Love the rooms and all those pools look so inviting! I’m definitely going to bookmark this one for when I’m next in the region. Was it expensive?
Carmen Edelson
September 17, 2016 at 10:44 amIt’s not cheap. The lagoon suite rooms go for around $575/night.

September 17, 2016 at 9:51 amLooks absolutely stunning Carmen – we’ve just been through Cancun, so when we head back to Mexico it’s going to be Playa del Carmen. Will definitely bookmark so we can remember to book a stay 🙂
Carmen Edelson
September 17, 2016 at 10:45 amI like staying in Playa del Carmen each time we go. It’s still a taxi ride away from Cancun and away from some of the tourist crowds.

September 17, 2016 at 1:30 pmCarmen, this place looks amazing, I have never been in the region and now I really want to go and visit, great post!
Carmen Edelson
September 17, 2016 at 5:31 pmI really like this part of Mexico. It’s an easy flight to Cancun and a 30 minute taxi ride to the hotel. Once you’re at the hotel you won’t want to leave. 🙂

Janna
September 18, 2016 at 8:44 pmOh my what a beautiful place to stay in! That Deluxe Lagoon Suite Terrace stood out the most to me. It reminds me of the Hilton I stayed at in Hawaii.
Carmen Edelson
September 18, 2016 at 9:04 pmThe hotel is one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. It has all the amenities and it’s in a great location.

September 19, 2016 at 12:39 amWow, I could stay there for over a week. I’d love to give the spa a try! The wedding area looks gorgeous too.
Carmen Edelson
September 19, 2016 at 9:00 pmI could of easily spend a few more days at the Rosewood. The spa treatments were one of the best I ever had.

September 19, 2016 at 2:20 amBeautiful post! I would love to visit Mexico and the Mayan ruins! Tha hotel looks fantastic. Its setting can give you some stunning views. i was sold when I read about the rooftop sunbeds and the boats decks.
Carmen Edelson
September 19, 2016 at 9:02 pmI’ve been to Tulum and some of the other ruins, it’s definitely worth the trip to see them. Although, it’s hard to leave the hotel, which has so many fun things to keep you busy.

September 19, 2016 at 11:34 pmOMG!!! so wanting to go… it’s so beautiful!!! one of these days.
Carmen Edelson
September 20, 2016 at 12:17 pmYes, you must go one day soon. You will absolutely love it!

March 4, 2017 at 11:40 amCarmen, my husband and I will be staying at the Rosewood in a couple of weeks. Do you recommend the Deluxe over water lagoon suite or beach front suite?
Thanks!
Carmen Edelson
March 4, 2017 at 6:52 pmThat’s exciting! I would recommend the Beachfront Studio Suite. You are steps away from the ocean with beautiful views of the sunsets in the evenings.
