El Dorado Maroma: 4.5-Star Gourmet-Inclusive Resort Set on Exclusive Beach
Playa del Carmen is famous for its seemingly endless string of white-sands beaches, but Maroma Beach manages to stand out from the pack. The Travel Channel calls it "the most exquisite secret in Mexico.” El Dorado Maroma resort is set amid Maroma's more than 500 acres of Caribbean beachfront and sprawling rainforest. The resort has an exotic, luxurious feel, with an infinity pool, seaside massages, and watersports,
Gourmet-inclusive privileges give you free reign to enjoy cocktails and fine cuisine at any of the several on-site restaurants. Sabores features intimate al fresco dining and live opera performances in addition to its rotating menu of authentic Mayan, Caribbean, and Mexican fare. Kiyoko presents a more interactive atmosphere: Guests dine on tapanyaki and sushi, which is prepared tableside at long, candle-lit tables. El Dorado has a weekly fish market with fresh seafood; chefs at Papitos Gourmet Beach Club will grill any seafood from the market for you.
The ocean is right outside, and guests can take advantage of snorkeling gear and kayak rental, both included with this deal. You can use the $200 resort credit towards a portion of services including a beachside Thai or shiatsu massage or a moonlit couples massages, followed by champagne.
Playa del Carmen, Mexico: Trendy Beach Area and Diving Destination
Maroma Beach is an exclusive beach 10 miles north of downtown Playa del Carmen, just across the sea from the island of Cozumel. Playa has been called "the hippest city in all of the Yucatán Peninsula" by Lonely Planet. The laid-back beach bars and cafés have a way of converting vacationers into expats, but Playa's most compelling draw might be its cenotes—cavernous sinkholes filled with turquoise pools. The water in the cenotes is crystal clear, particularly at the lily-pad-dotted Xlacah cenote, where you can snorkel among schools of colorful fish.
To the south, you'll find preserved ruins of pre-Columbian cities. Tulum's crumbling temples are situated above a dramatic ocean bluff, and Coba's enormous pyramid rises between two lagoons. For a fun day trip, hop aboard the ferry to Cozumel, which docks [TK miles from the hotel] at the pier east of Calle 1. There are about a dozen dive shops on Cozumel, and they offer trips offshore to the reefs that Jacques Cousteau declared some of the world's most beautiful.
