Paraíso de la Bonita Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resort Opening Riviera Maya
"A beachfront, adults-only, all-inclusive resort located about 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport on the Riviera Maya, set between a mangrove reserve and white-sand Caribbean beaches. The property opened on January 30 and has 100 oceanfront suites—all with terraces or balconies and many featuring soaking tubs—whose accommodations start at 1,130 square feet and are decked in handcrafted furnishings, soothing neutral shades, and artwork inspired by traditional Mexican artistry. The resort offers multiple dining and drinking venues (four restaurants and three bars, seven outlets total), three outdoor pools including a saltwater pool and an infinity pool, and a 22,000-square-foot spa center. It is a collaboration between Playa Hotels & Resorts and Marriott International and is the third all-inclusive hotel in Marriott's Luxury Collection portfolio, joining Sanctuary Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic and Almare on Isla Mujeres. Preserving the developer’s voice, Fernando Mulet, executive vice president and chief investment officer of Playa Hotels & Resorts, told Travel + Leisure: “Playa is thrilled to partner once again with Marriott, as The Luxury Collection brand seamlessly aligns with the unique character and ambiance of this exceptional property. This collaboration strengthens our leadership in the all-inclusive segment, allowing us to introduce an innovative concept in a market where we already have a strong presence.” On-site amenities and programming include a 5,000-bottle wine cellar, included activities such as wine tastings, cooking classes, tennis, yoga, and snorkeling (with some excursions—private yacht outings and scuba diving—available for an additional fee), and easy access for day trips to Sian Ka’an Biosphere, local cenotes, and Chichén Itzá. Nightly rates start from $757 and reservations are available at paraisodelabonita.mx." - Regan Stephens Regan Stephens Regan Stephens is an award-winning freelance writer living in Philadelphia.
