![]() The top choice is 2,900 square feet on two levels with ocean views.Īlthough the plethora of in–room amenities may not give much reason to spend time outside the walls of your sumptuous abode, garner the motivation to explore the grounds. None skimp on space, but 17 of the 41 villas have at least 1.400 square feet, making them more like temporary homes than hotel rooms. The larger villas have more space and more furniture, plus additional amenties like esresso makers and a complimentary beach hat and bag. Wi-Fi is complimentary and all have an indoor-outdoor shower. The standards here are not so standard, with 500 thread-count sheets, DVD/CD players for the large flat-screen TVs, minibars, and a selection of plush pillows. While the views from the oceanfront and ocean view accommodations are stunning, the jungle locations offer the most privacy, despite maybe a few more encounters with harmless jungle critters (the hotel is wise to plant mosquito repellent for guests on the patio). The airy bungalows-situated oceanfront, ocean view or nestled in the jungle-feature small private plunge pools and a patio with elegant chaise lounge chairs and handmade crochet hammocks ideal for curling up with a book. Ideal for honeymooners, the enormous bathrooms with fine touches of locally made soap cut on the premesis are complete with indoor and outdoor showers and his–and–hers sinks and closets. Outfitted with soft lighting and sleek furniture, the high–ceiling, thatched–roofed accommodations evoke the feel of a romantic jungle retreat adorned in native textiles and warm woods. Pass hidden bungalows and seating areas buried in the trees before arriving at the mahogany front door of your villa, one of just 41 on the property. Once clear from the fragrant smolder, follow the lead of your guide on a meandering path through ferns, palms and guava trees, keeping a lookout for the family of spider monkeys that are claimed to reside on the property (take note of the journey through the greenery to prevent going astray later sans guide). A smiling face welcomes you with a refreshing welcome drink and your visit officially begins with a Mayan blessing performed by the staff shaman that incorporates the smoke of the aromatic copal, a tree resin burned as incense. Upon arrival to the breezy thatched roof lobby with stamped concrete floors, you immediately forget about the less–than–picturesque road you took to arrive at the Viceroy's front door. The refreshed aesthetics of the resort are impressive and the service delivered by the Viceroy's staff further enhances the classy ambiance. ![]() The revamps also included a facelift to all the existing villas and then contiual additions of more amenities. Tucked away in Playa Xcalacoco, three miles from Playa del Carmen, the six-acre resort, once known as Tides Riviera Maya, prides itself on exclusivity and personalized service-everyone knows your name and uses it often.Īfter a extensive renovations over the years, the property now has a variety of luxury villas, two restaurants with ocean views, a fitness center, and wine cellar. Reached via an unmarked road off a main highway, the Viceroy Riviera Maya is a small and quiet sanctuary unlike many of the lively mega–resorts dotting the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Sitting between the Caribbean waters and a tropical rainforest, the ever-improving Viceroy Riviera Maya is a calming haven boasting abundant in-room amenities and gracious style for a barefoot luxury vacation.
