Paraiso de la Bonita

wenkebach · 02-10-2008

Greetings from Louisiana.

It's that time of year, and my wife and I are having "Playa Withdrawals"

So far we have been to:
Secrets Capri - loved it
Xpu Ha x 2 - very good, but kids put a damper.
Royal Playa del Carmen - Nice, but not as good as SC
Adventura Spa Palace - Way too big.

In general, we like smaller, Adults-only upscale resorts with great beaches. Our favorite so far has been Secrets Capri, but we want to try something different.

I found Paraiso de la Bonita - any comments on this resort would be most appreciated.

Well, it's a very nice, romantic hotel but it's not an all inclusive resort. Here's a bit more info:

Tucked into a protected private beach, Paraiso de la Bonita, is an intimate resort of only 90 suites that captures all the extraordinary beauty of the Yucatan. Some of the highest expectations of International travelers are met with impeccable service, wonderful amenities, outstanding facilities and memorable aesthetics and design. The suites feature a living room, adjoining bedroom and full baths with deep marble tubs, separate showers and handcrafted sinks. Each accommodation has its own private terrace facing the ocean offering magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea. The 22,000 square foot Spa at Paraiso de la Bonita sets a new standard in treatments for mind and body. The resort is the first spa in North America and only the second in Latin America to offer Thalassotherapy - a system using fresh heated seawater that induces an exchange of minerals and toxins between the blood and the water. Massages, beauty and hydrotherapy treatments are also offered. Paraiso de la Bonita is one of the only resorts on the Riviera Maya to offer its guests some of the most wonderful amenities: a 48-foot catamaran anchored just off the resort dock. Appropriately christened La Bonita, the boat features 3 air-conditioned cabins and a private crew. La Bonita is available to all guests for private excursions and for exploring the Caribbean waters day or night. Located on the pristine Mayan Riviera, just 20 minutes from the Cancun International airport, Paraiso de la Bonita is a convenient Cancun escape that seems a world away.

ONE BEDROOM SUITE, Guests that choose to stay in the Oceanview Suite enjoy an outdoor terrace featuring a magnificent view of the Caribbean - one of the perfect spots for watching that tropical sunrise.

ONE BEDROOM SUITE WITH PLUNGE POOL, The oceanview suite with plunge pool is perfect for those who want to experience the sensation of soaking under the stars. The ocean views, seen from both the living room and bedroom, along with the plunge pool, all provide the perfect excuse to spend more time in the suite.

DINING
THE KAAX, Offers daily breakfast and lunch on the outdoor terrace. In the evening it features Mexican Specialties in an open casual atmosphere.

LA CANOA, Gourmet dining, features "Cuisine de los Soles", a dramatic fusion of styles based upon the spices and chilies used in the cuisine of warm weather countries.

EL CHIRINGUITO, This casual open air oceanside grill offers a variety of seafood, chicken, and meats grilled to perfection on a wood fire using the native hardwood, "zapote".

BARS and LOUNGES

HIPPO'S POOL BAR, Covered by a large Mayan "Palapa" which provides a cool shelter from the sun and overlooking the pool and the ocean is Hippos Bar - the heart of Paraiso de la Bonita during the day.

BONUS FEATURES

• Daily breakfast
• Private check-in in the Suite
• A bottle of tequila to enjoy during the stay or to keep as a present
• A handmade beach bag
• Local telephone calls and Internet access in the library
• Daily newspaper in the language of the guests

• Complimentary use of the Gym and Thalasso Center facilities, sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi
• Complimentary daytime tennis court
