Hip Getaways
"
There are two Occidental properties that the
hip set will love-the Occidental at Xcaret
Destination and the Occidental Cozumel, both
featuring Royal Level Luxury Rooms that are the
top pick for clients who yearn for nothing but the
best. At the Xcaret property, these "royal" rooms
come with private swimming pools, wraparound
balconies and views of the tropical gardens, as
well as access to the Royal Level Balinese beds
located right off the sea, with personalized drink
service. To get a taste of the local culture, opt for
the Unlimited Xcaret Experience package, which
includes a bottle of tequila and grants access
to the Xcaret Park, where visitors can explore
the remains of a Mayan village, snorkel through
ancient caves or observe native animals in their
natural habitat. The hacienda-style Cozumel
property-located a 45-minute ferry ride from
Playa del Carmen-is made for fitness enthusiasts
with two tennis courts, and an onsite watersports
facility with kayaking, windsurfing, sailing and
snorkeling. And it's here where guests will want
to dive in for a nighttime diving experience-the
resort is located near Palacar Reef, one of the best
scuba diving destinations in the world and home
to a bioluminescent marine life that can't be seen
during the day. barcelo.com/en-us

A VIP Tower
The Krystal Grand Punta Cancun recently debuted its VIP Altitude Tower, a new, private,
100-suite luxury enclave that's adjacent to the hotel and which, says Constanza Pintos,
sales director, Krystal Grand Punta Cancun, offers "Millennials a VIP space that highlights
privacy, sleek design and environments that don't compete with the stunning views of
Punta Cancun but still offer backdrops for guests to share on social media. At the Altitude
Tower, we focus on the micro details and intimate spaces that promote wellbeing and
exclusive amenities available to Altitude-guests only like complimentary tequila and wine
tastings, in-door bar, afternoon cocktails and appetizers, adults-only pool and preferred
reservations at the hotel's restaurants." The accommodations are spacious at 549 sq. ft.
(Altitude rooms) and 678 sq. ft. (Altitude Releve rooms), and full of fun indulges such as a
pillow menu, a sleeping kit, and L'Occitane toiletries. Or, up the ante and recommend one
of the four luxury suites, featuring large terraces with outdoor jacuzzis, luggage unpacking
and folding services, and up to $350 in spa credit. The adults-only pool comes with fab
Bali beds, and there's even a Chef's Table so culinary aficionados will get their fix.
