hello all, my first post on this website and i am in crisis situation! i told my fiancee that we would book Ikal del Mar in Playa del Carmen but it's all booked up. i am responsible for arranging the honeymoon and her only requirement was that one place had to have a private plunge pool. i'm doomed. we will be staying for 10-11 nights in the yucatan peninsula, probably staying for 2-3 nights at several different places. so far i was thinking JW Marriot Cancun 2 nights, Ceiba del Mar 3 nights, Azulik 3 nights, and Ikal del Mar 2 nights. But now after not being able to reserve the Ikal del Mar, i'm a little frantic. i want her to have this one thing. Anyone know of a nice place that offers this?

Also, we are staying in december 2005. i did find that Paraiso de la Bonita has plunge pool, but december rate is a staggering $900/night. Maroma doesn't have the plunge pool,as far as i know, or else this could be an option.
thanks again

The Aquarius Villa at Maroma has a plunge pool ....

I think there are some rooms at Esencia with plunge pools.

Hope this helps....

I found the above article in th NYT informative.

Good luck!

Have you considered private vacation rentals? Most usually only require a min. of 3 nights and most of them seem to have a plunge pool or splash pools (another name) and they are quite comparable price-wise, to hotels, sometimes cheaper and sometimes more luxurious.
