Unique Sleeps: Amazing hotels hand picked by Expedia Experts.\u00a0The Beloved Hotel Playa Mujeres All Inclusive, Mexico<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

For as long as I can remember, I\u2019ve always associated Cancun with college kids partying it up on Spring Break. That\u2019s why I went on a quest to see if the northeast of Mexico could actually be done in a totally different way \u2013 with relaxation, escapism and indulgence in mind.<\/p>\n

My search took me to The Beloved Hotel, Playa Mujeres, located roughly thirty minutes from Cancun Airport. This boutique luxury resort is an all inclusive hotel, and showed me a side of the region that was very different to the party town atmosphere Cancun is known for. With an open mind and an eagerness to soak in the Caribbean summer, I checked into an ocean view villa.<\/p>\n

The Suites<\/h2>\n

The rooms are welcomingly large, with a beachside influence that\u2019s fresh and warm, with plenty of space for visitors to relax in their own suites. They\u2019re designed to be lived in, rather than a typical hotel room designed just for sleeping. Each room is equipped with one of the most well-stocked mini bars I\u2019ve ever seen \u2013 full, unopened bottles and plenty of snacks are at your disposal, along with 24 hour room service from a menu that rivals most hotel restaurants.<\/p>\n

All suites come with standard televisions, appliances and work stations, but one major difference are the incredible bathrooms. The two person showers feature rainforest shower heads, with additional jets lining the walls in a space that begs for a long session at the end of a day of paddleboarding and swimming in the ocean. Guests are also treated to a selection of Bvlgari bathroom products.<\/p>\n

Along with an extremely comfortable indoor Jacuzzi (with ocean view), some villas boast an outdoor plunge pool or private tub. Combine that with a cocktail and chips and guacamole, you can\u2019t go wrong.
\n<\/p>\n

The Spa<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re able to pull yourself away from your suite, I\u2019d really recommend checking out The Beloved Hotel\u2019s day spa. Try the \u201cSacred Earth Massage\u201d \u2013 a massage that aims to refresh the body and soul and re-stabilise the vibrations and harmonies in our lives. The treatment also includes use of the hydrotherapy centre, which, in itself is a luxuriously relaxing experience. Guests are guided through a series of treatments in a wonderfully large and tranquil pool, with the aim of a full body and mind preparation for their massage or treatment. The service by the staff is second to none and the facility itself is one of the most incredibly beautiful settings I\u2019ve ever seen for a day spa.<\/p>\n

The Restaurants<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve always had reservations about all inclusive hotel restaurants, with the assumption that the quality of food and drink wouldn\u2019t be high. I have to come out from the start and state that The Beloved Hotel\u2019s food was some of the best hotel cuisine I\u2019ve ever experienced. From fresh local seafood (lobster tails to scallops), vegetarian options, authentic Mexican foods and some of the most decadent desserts you could dream of, there\u2019s something for everyone. The resort has four restaurants to choose from, along with additional bars and lounges, a sushi and ceviche bar, and beachside food options. Each venue has particular dining specialties \u2013 from the traditional Mexican cuisine of Lupita Restaurant (the Mexican coffee and desserts alone make it worth a visit!), to the stunning ocean views of the beachfront El Mar Restaurant.
\n<\/p>\n

The Experience<\/h2>\n

The Beloved Hotel is a perfect Caribbean escape for couples looking for a romantic and relaxing retreat. The all-inclusive nature is incredible value for money, and it\u2019s a brilliant experience for both the foodies looking to try quality Mexican cuisine, and those who\u2019d rather just sit by the bar for the hotel\u2019s tequila tasting sessions. The staff are exceptional and will go out of their way to accommodate any extra needs, from room service, to special anniversary and honeymoon requests. There\u2019s always something to do, be it going for a dip in the crystal clear waters of the hotel front ocean, keeping fit on the beach or in the state of the art fitness centre, or getting pampered in their magnificent day spa \u2013 but there\u2019s always the option of just doing nothing at all. And, at this particular place, when you\u2019re surrounded by such a breathtaking landscape with the beautiful warm waters of the ocean on your doorstep, that option is a perfectly acceptable one.<\/p>\n
