Ventaclub Maroma/Hotel Maroma
Went to Hotel Maroma last week for a spa treatment and lunch. Highly recommend a spa treatment (but not the facials - they'll do them in the "beauty salon"). I had a hot stone massage in one of the fabulous bedrooms. There were bamboo blinds over the open windows and all I could hear was the rustling of palm trees in the breeze. The room was huge with stairs leading from the living room area into the bedroom area, also a colourful tiled bathtub the size of a small swimming pool. The meal there was the best we had in Mexico. I would definitely go back even though a little pricey.
We mistakenly entered at the Ventaclub Maroma first, but there was no way those security guys would let anyone who doesn't belong there onto the grounds. Security was equally as tight as Hotel Maroma. Even though we had prearranged everything well in advance, it still took 10 mins of negotiations with the guys at the front gate before we were allowed in. They get a lot of high profile guests there (recently, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife) so I guess it's understandable.
The Ventaclub and the Hotel Maroma share an absolutely stunning and virtually empty beach. As you look north and south of the two resorts along the beach, you can't see anything but jungle. There are no other signs of "civilization" in sight. Hotel Maroma is quite small (less than 30 rooms) so we only saw about 10 people on the beach there at any given time. I assume Ventaclub is much larger, but still the beach was quiet & secluded compared to what you find at PDC and Playacar.
Unfortunately, that's all the info I can give you since I didn't actually see the Ventaclub grounds.
