One of the best cancun beach hotels, a  handful of styled resorts have popped up in Cancun suites, following Hurricane Wilma in late 2005.  The reopening of Aqua cancun inn with its 371 rooms, beat everybody expectation.  Aqua hotel cancun is all about relaxation, from the moment you walk in, you experience the tranquil aromatherapy and music that captures you.  Guests are able to select from among pillow types as well as aromatherapy oils and candles or you can play in cancun golf.

The location is great, excellent for walking to two shopping centers and restaurants nearby. The rooms have quality amenities and are highly maintained. The pools are well designed in cancun inclusive.

But what really sets this resort apart is its food. Mexico’s premier chef and well known cookbook author Martha Ortiz, elevates tacos to high art at Siete, decorated with mosaics of pop icons like Frida Kahlo.  At MB, Michelle Bernstein a Miami top rated chef offers healthy and tasty dishes with Latin and Asian influences, try the filet and macaroni, it was to die for.

Aqua’s signature spa offers a wide variety of therapeutic treatments. The spa will also have a steam room modeled after the ancient Aztec temazcal.  Outdoor pilates, and each morning yoga at the beach are some of the activities in cancun family vacations.

The club lounge level, is a good option, great for breath fast and for, midday snacks and evening food services with a good variety.

The Luna y Sol Suites face the sea on one side and the lagoon on the other.  If you can, we definitely recommend you to book on of these Suites or look for cancun rentals.

w hotelw hotel

Located in the trendy Polanco neighborhood has modern dress up but maybe not for everyone taste.   Stunning guest rooms and with seductive spaces will make your stay very comfortable.  w hotel terraceHave lunch at the terrace and enjoy the nice and large outdoor area with overlooking parts of Polanco. The restaurant is o.k is not one of the best in Polanco but neither the worst, we recommend you to try the tortilla soup.If you do arrive late to the hotel, while you walk through the sex from Sex and the City,  doing the checking you might find the lobby a little noisy, since the lobby bar sometimes gets crowded.

If you are going to Mexico City as a short stop or as a typical business trip, we definitely recommend you to considered W Hotel as an option.

We wanted to visit la Casa que Canta for a while, and last week we had the opportunity to visit and experience it. 

This small luxury hotel in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo-Mexico, stands ingeniously sculpted on a cliff with magnificent panoramic views.  Built from native materials and decorates with fine hand-crafted Mexican furniture.

La Casa que Canta, “The house that sings” name given for the sound that the sea waves creates with the cliff that surrounds the hotel area.  We were greeted with a wonderful floral arrangement on our bed as well as a couple of shots of tequila.  In its 25 deluxe suites the magnificent la-casa-rep2.jpgview can be appreciated, the suites are very spacious and all decorated with a nice Mexican charm, 11 of which have private pools, definitely the private-pool was the best part of the room.  The wonderful sunset can be enjoyed from the infinity pool which you may recognize from the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman”. The resort has its own sea-water pool and two luxurious residences by the beach – El Murmullo and El Ensueño.The restaurant with its Mexican will surprised you with the great flavors and color of each dish.  We recommend you to try the succulent ceviche (fish or shellfish marinated in lemon or orange juice, onion and Mexican pepper) also try the fresh fruit desserts.
