Our personal pride and joy!
Maroma

Seven years ago, we discovered this jewel... literally by driving down to the beach through the jungle, and there it was, shimmering in the sun! It just took my breath away... The owners Sally and Jose Luis "adopted" us immediately and made Mexican Tours sole representative of their beautiful home.

Gradually, the hotel developed but the basic concept remained the same. The perfect tranquility, the gentle birdsong, and Manuel the gardener (still there) who is with his plants at 4 a.m. "so he can be with them when they wake up", his words!

 


 
 

 

Maroma

The fresh lobster, mangos, papaya, Frank the barman's legendary margaritas, the list is endless...

We have so many special "secrets" (known only to us) of Maroma to share with you... Did you know you can have the Mayan Temazcal at night and rush into a moonlit ocean afterwards. You can literally converse with the Mayan Gods and feel "re-born" or, at least, just a little bit more relaxed! You can find a colony of sandpipers along at their special place on the beach in the morning but in the afternoon they are replaced by a large group of buzzards... I love this beach, it constantly changes...

The Quintessential Mayan Escape.

This is an example of what you can experience at this enchanting place. I cannot emphasise enough the very special bond, combined with love and pride, we have for this property.

Champagne upon arrival. If you are arriving late, a light supper can be set to wait you in your room. You can also experience Jungle River snorkling excursions with a certified marine biologist. We tailor-make you visits to the Mayan Archaeological sites.

Imagine all this, plus your gorgeous room and also the opportunity if you want, to be in glorious solitude... For more information on Maroma, see the "Weddings" page.

Call us to book and to let us talk you through our beautiful Maroma and its special "magic" ( the website does not know the real "heart, soul and the wealth of love and toil" Sally and Jose Luis put into creating this paradise, but we do!)

ikal Del Mar

I was a bit lost for words when we saw this incredible place (unusual for me!). Hidden deep in the jungle, (and I really do mean this as the owners have left a lot of the vegetation intact), and situated between Playa del Carmen and Punta Morelos, it is difficult to find but once found is truly amazing! All separate villas with their own pool and sundeck. This is a chic hotel, masses of style and oodles of panache! This hotel is expensive and so very worth it!

The "myth" of Riviera Maya

It is often assumed that the "Corridor" between Cancun and Puerto Aventuras is an unspoilt paradise... to some extent it is, but the client must be aware that there are small
enclaves of tourist villages.

Playa del Carmen, once a sleepy port for the ferry over to Cozumel, Playacar is now a manicured manmade resort, Puerto Aventuras, again a purpose-built village...

This is not to say that within these charming locations there are not some stunning hotels. A very good example of this is the delightful 30 room Omni at Puerto Aventuras. It has a swimming pool with a dolphin centre and so is an excellent venue for children.

If you continue along this coast all the way to the border you will encounter wild and unspoilt beaches and jungle. The Boca Paila Bone Fishing Resort is simply wonderful.

Situated in this area are also some of the best "All inclusive properties"

We, at Mexican Tours, are very selective as to which hotels we work with and recommend to our clients. There are many hotels developed in this area, please do ask us to help you distinguish one from another and to help you choose what is exactly right for you!


Paraiso de la Bonita

The hotel is truly amazing and very, very private, you enter through massive iron gates into another world! The rooms are huge with high ceilings, lots of mirrors and stylish Latin design with a slight Asian influence. Top of the range and has been accepted by "leading hotels of the world". I get the feeling that this will be the most "talked about" hotel along this coast.


Ceiba Del Mar

 

Situated near a little tiny port called Puerto Morelos, which is so reminiscent of Playa Del Carmen twenty years ago! There are three small fish restaurants, a bar and a shop where you can pick up your odd bottle of wine to take back for later!

When Joanne dragged me from Maroma to go and see this property I complained, as I did not want to leave Maroma… But the moment I walked into Ceiba Del Mar I absolutely loved it! An inexpensive option to Maroma but with masses of style and great design. The rooms are beautifully furnished, with gorgeous bathrooms. The beach is to die for you can walk for miles. It has a sweet little pier, I thought it was just perfect!"

 

Tulum

Head south, to the ancient Mayan city of Tulum. This citadel is one of the few Mayan ceremonial centres constructed on the seashore. The Sian Ka’an conservation and Biosphere reserve surrounds the magnificent structures of Tulum and the castle lies on a ridge facing a spectacular view of the Caribbean Sea.
