Amenity highlights: The resort has three large pools terraced down to the beach. Upper and middle pools include infinity edges and the lower pool offers tile backrests in shallow water. The pools are heated to different temperatures. Spa del Mar consists of 15,000-square-feet of European-style, all-marble elegance. Separate men's and women's sections include deep hot tubs and adjacent cold-water plunge pools, inhalation rooms, steam rooms, and saunas. There are 14 rooms for massage, body and facial treatments, hydrotherapy, and jet showers. Insider tip: Evenings, a Cuban cigar-maker plies his craft in the lobby. A crowd gathers to watch, and guests buy aromatic gifts. |
| Consisting of a 213-room, eight-story tower with Mayan symbols, the textured, pale-gray exterior is accented by green windows, wrought-iron balcony railings, and roof tiles. The pool deck is white, creating a beautiful contrast to the Caribbean's intense turquoise water. A marble-columned arcade contains a full-service business center and shops. On the lower pool deck, the Penguin Club for children consists of a shallow pool, a clubhouse with video games, a sand area, and a playground. Children's programs are offered year-round. Like all major Cancún hotels, Le Meridien has a water-purification system. |
