outdoor art museum—to incredible rooms like the Presidential Villa, offering three bedrooms, a rooftop plunge pool, two floors and bathroom windows with views of the ocean. Book this for clients looking for the best of the best, but other rooms such as our Villas Selva, or “jungle,” will not disappoint. We stayed in No. 347, which offers an outdoor pool set in the heart of the property’s jungle landscape. The room also comes with a king bed, a bathroom with a Jacuzzi and a separate closet area. Our favorite subtle feature was the sliding door from the bedroom to the bathroom, which was actually a mirror on the other side, making you feel completely isolated in your bed. Another neat touch is that all remote controls in every room glow, so you won’t have problems channel surfing in the dark. Note: A variety of special services and amenities are available as part of the hotel’s personalized pet program. The property AZUL FIVES SPA provides a warm and welcoming environment. welcomes dogs up to 30 pounds in all room and suite categories; however, to ensure the safety and comfort of all hotel guests, the property does ask that your VIPs refrain from taking their pets to the pool and beach area, as well as the restaurants, bars and spa. Luxury travel advisors should contact Oscar Molina (omolina@ mohg.com; 011-52-984-8773251), senior sales manager, with any questions. Send your VIPs traveling with families to Fairmont Mayakoba (www.fairmont. com/mayakoba). This 401-room resort in Playa del Carmen felt a lot smaller than it actually was because it utilizes every inch of its space. This is the perfect spot for big groups or families, but don’t discourage your honeymooners or married couples from staying here. The family areas are completely separate from the adults’ area, so you can hear children splashing in the pool in one spot, and hear absolutely nothing in another. The best rooms here are the two Presidential Villas, both of which can be made into threebedroom villas. They have an ocean view, as well as views of the 15th hole of the property’s golf course. Luxury travel advisors should contact Reservations Manager Erandy Martinez (erandy.marti nez@fairmont.com; 011-52-984206-3040) with questions about accommodations or making a tee time at El Camaleón. FAIRMONT MAYAKOBA Presidential Villas offer views of the ocean and of the golf course’s 15th hole. 16 LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR | February 2009 http://www.fairmont.com/mayakoba http://www.fairmont.com/mayakoba
