Fodor's Expert Review Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa

Connecting jungle and beach, a labyrinth of paths threads through the grounds at this elegant, renovated-in-2023, Maya-themed hotel, where butterflies and parrots fly, and the scent of flowers fills the air. Rooms, which have private terraces, are exquisitely decorated with indigenous art and handcrafted furnishings; king-size beds are draped in mosquito netting, and there's nightly turndown service with aromatherapy. Luxurious beachfront suites have their own fitness rooms, plunge pools, and indoor–outdoor showers. Daily à la carte breakfast is included, and there are plenty of activities and unique experiences like cooking classes, tequila tastings, bee therapy, and under-the-sea meditation.
