Warum Gäste es lieben

- The first Guerlain Spa in Latin America is a legitimate destination in itself
- Tara Bernerd's 2023 redesign successfully blends chic modernism with authentic Mexican craftsmanship
Kurzfassung: It’s breathtakingly beautiful and ruinously expensive, but if you have to ask about the price of the guacamole, you're at the wrong resort.
Bewertet von @kellicarpenter: I stayed in this suite at Maroma and the welcome amenities blew me away—fresh guacamole and a tequila tasting set right on the table! My favorite ritual was having my morning coffee in the hammock while watching the waves. It felt incredibly private and luxurious.

- You value privacy and silence over swim-up bars and DJ sets
- You are a design nerd who appreciates hand-painted tiles and custom textiles
- You want a concierge who can arrange a private cenote dinner

“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a quiet upper-floor room, ideally in the northern wing away from Freddy's Bar and the main pool foot traffic. An Ocean View Master Suite with a private balcony would be perfect.”
FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, it's one of the best beaches in the Riviera Maya, but check the sargassum forecast if traveling May-August.
Is it all-inclusive?
No. Breakfast is usually included in the rate, but lunch, dinner, and alcohol are à la carte and expensive.

Do not drink the tap water. The hotel provides unlimited glass-bottled purified water for drinking and brushing teeth.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a 24-hour fitness center with Technogym equipment and daily yoga classes.
How far is it from the airport?
About 35-45 minutes south of Cancun International Airport (CUN).
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but it's not 'family-focused'. There is a small game center, but no elaborate kids' club or water park.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Order the 'Mayan Coffee' service for your wake-up call; it comes with local pastries and is magical.
- ✨
The hotel has a resident 'pet concierge' (often a dog) that greets guests.
- ✨
You can borrow bikes to ride around the jungle paths—it's the best way to see the coatis and monkeys.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'free' breakfast bill shock: You still sign a check that suggests a massive tip based on the full menu price.
💡The jungle paths are dark at night; you will need your phone flashlight.
💡The 'pitiful' kids club is basically just a room with some toys, not a supervised camp.
💡You might spot spider monkeys on your balcony—don't feed them.
💡The Melipona bees (stingless) are raised on-site and their honey is used in spa treatments.
