Suite Ocean-Front accommodations
feature VIP private airport pickup/

treatments, access to private beach coves and
lounge areas, and a complimentary dinner
at the Ha' restaurant for stays of four or more
nights, among other amenities. Premier
services at Casa Fuego also include butler
services and access to a pool concierge

experiences, as well as tours and activities at
Experiencias Xcaret parks. Ooh...and the
salt water isolation cabin at the Muluc Spa
sounds delightful.

Colonial Chic

A colonial chic vibe resides over the Rosewood Puebla.

And set to debut in early 2018 is Zadun, A
Ritz-Carlton Reserve, built into the steppes
of the desert landscape. It's the fourth resort
in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, and the
second in the Caribbean and Mexico region.
When it opens its doors next year, guests will
be welcomed into a retreat encompassing 115
suites and villas, each with a personal butler
and many with private plunge pools. They'll
also have access to two championship golf
courses and a desert botanical park. Now let's
jet across the country to...

...the Riviera Maya
This month, Mexico's Caribbean coastline
will see the debut of a new luxury private
Karisma Villa, the 6-bedroom oceanfront
Villa Casa Del Mar. Honeymooners will
have 35,586 sq. ft. to play around in if they
book this villa stay-the fourth and largest
of the Karisma Villas collection. It comes
with two common living areas, a formal
dining room, a gourmet kitchen, a wine
cellar stocked with vintage selections, and a
wellness gym. Outdoors, they'll have access
to a private pool, a jacuzzi, a dedicated dining
space, lush gardens, a brick pizza oven, and

views over the stunning Caribbean Sea. The
opulence continues with daily restocked
beverage fridge, personalized pre-arrival
service, onsite motorized watersports, daily
activities such as Spanish classes, king-sized
beach day beds, a private chef providing
three meals per day, a lobster candlelight
dinner at the Sky Aqua Pier, and, among
a host of other delights, the option to take
a 5-hour private yacht trip or a deep-sea
fishing excursion. And if honeymooners are
so inclined, they can request a private yoga
class, cooking classes, tequila tastings and
photo shoot sessions. Rates start at $4,337
per night.
The all-inclusive Hotel Xcaret, set
to open its doors this December, will be
hugged by the Riviera Maya jungle and the
Caribbean Sea, and is ideal for eco-conscious
newlyweds. Around every corner, guests will
find nature beckoning, as the resort boasts
coves, rivers, caves and a jungle setting. For
honeymooners, recommend the premier
adults-only Casa Fuego accommodations,
with direct access to semi-private beaches,
private pools, and a rooftop pool/bar area.
Ideal for newlyweds, the Fuego Master

Just last month a new Rosewood property
opened its doors in Puebla. Located near the
city's spectacular main square, the 78-room
and -suite hotel is housed in a collection of
buildings from varying eras, all surrounding
a private courtyard. The boutique retreat is
home to a rooftop bar and swimming pool
that offers views over the neighboring Iglesia
de San Francisco; and Sense, A Rosewood Spa,
where couples can opt for a Talavera Massage,
a treatment inspired by the city's traditional
handmade pottery that incorporates
mineralizing clay and onyx stones.
The Rosewood Suite is an ideal choice for
honeymooners-they can have their morning
coffee on the 1,215-ft. terrace enjoying
the sun rising as it makes its way across
Puebla's skyline. Or for those who want to
celebrate the city's famed Talavera tradition
recommend the Puebla guestroom with
Talavera tile flooring, and beautiful handcrafted Talavera details. And if your clients
are thinking of a colonial chic wedding prior
to the honeymoon, let them know that the
property features a 300-year-old chapel that's
available to guests as a wedding venue.
Puebla, by the way, is home to a
UNESCO-listed downtown area, over 2,600
historic sites and over 365 churches (one for
every day of the year). It's here, too, where
your clients can spoil themselves if they want
to try one of Mexico's national dishes, the
mole poblano; or celebrate Cinco de Mayo in
its birthplace. ■
