"The reinvention of Maroma this past year, an iconic resort on the Mexican Caribbean, is a study in modernizing without sacrificing soul. Suites overlook a tree-lined pool, and glimpse the thin white sands affronting a baby blue sea. Spacious rooms are done up in local textiles and tilework. As a resort on the Yucatan, this place has everything you want—epic seafront beaches, swinging pool scenes, an incredible spa and two restaurants. It also inevitably has that type of stylish, well traveled crowd expected of a Belmond. Languid days are spent shifting from pool to beach to cocktails at Freddy's Bar. And there is nothing wrong with that. But if feeling more adventurous, you can head to any number of the area's incredible cenotes for a surreal swim in a cave filled with electric blue water."
