Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya Hotel Review

While my eyes are cured on fierce oranges and red on the horizon, the fingers buried in warm sand, I listen to a mitigation in a winged headpiece speaking quietly in the maya. It is 7 o’clock in the Cancan, Mexico, and our group of four – My mother, a yoga instructor, mitigation, and I – are only people at an ancient stretch of white sand participating in a traditional Surya Namaskar ceremony.

My mother and I spent three days in 100 acres of Waldorf Estoria Riviera Maya, which was officially opened on 1 November 2022. While this is not the first resort of the brand in Mexico-it bears an existing hotel in Los Cabos in 2019-Waldorf Estoria Rewiera Maya has made the first new Rosert in Hans.

“Waldorf Estoria Riviera Maya separates herself through its secluded beach location, designs that harmonize with surrounding mangroves, strong activity and culinary programming, and a commitment to personal service inherent in the legacy of the brand’s legacy,” Nazrate Karbonary, Resortnor, stated by a general manager of the resort. Travel + holiday.

Cancan often connects images of numerous spring breakers and crowded beaches, but there is no one here. The hotel has clearly hit the location Jackpot, located behind a succulent mangrove protected, but is just 15 minutes away from the airport. And while, technically, all the beaches of Mexico are public, the calm stretch of the white-sand coastline for the new resort did not find much traffic during our stay, so it felt as if we had access to a private beach, besides two large swimming pools in addition to the sea view. The hotel certainly takes advantage of its major beach space, which offers a panoramic vista of water from all its guest rooms and restaurants.

However, the signature Waldorf Estoria sophistication allows the entire resort. The grand lobby has a series of chandeliers, smooth couch, marble coffee tables and wooden chairs. This trademark is anchored by the Waldorf Estoria watch, a meeting site for guests. In this hotel, this lux is made up of marble and pearl’s mother and has the facility of mayan symbols. To ensure that the huge hotel does not feel heavy, the spaces are broken into small, more intimate vignates and lounge areas with a neutral color palette.

The outdoor spaces have a dynamic, terraced layout, which has privacy with palms and local plants growing between palm and cabana, provided privacy, a lot of tropical vibes, and reminded passengers of the prosperity of the Yukaon forest.

Below, my complete review of Waldorf Estoria Riviera Maya.

Room

Water is a major topic in the design of the entire hotel. Along with scenic ocean scenes, each of 173 rooms and suits also has a private balcony with an outdoor soaking tub. Furniture in organic forms repeats natural structures, while pearlassent inces, shells, and shimmering motifs reminded of the surface of the Sparkling Sea,

“To take advantage of the use of natural sensory sensations and biofilia, to support welfare, emotional engagement, and restoration, the design mimicked a connection for nature through modern lines, repetitive patterns, and the forms that mimic the sea, which copy the sea,” the vice -president of the sea and the SB Architects, ” Said.

My mother and I stayed with two queen-shaped beds in the 675-class deluxe Oceanfront guest room. The bathroom had a pair of double vanity and wardrobe, which gives each of us its place to get ready in the morning. The glass-sighted shower had two doors, which was leading to a balcony, so you could technically leave it open to go into fresh air (and enjoy ideas while bathing). Naturally, we spent most of our time on the balcony, talked, reading, soaked the endless turquoise Caribbean Vista, and cooled in our pluse pool.

Food and drinks

The hotel recently appointed a new executive chef, Jonathan Santiago, who infected with One and Only Pamila in Los Cabos.

“Carbonary celebrates the rich tastes of the Pak Prasad region of the resort, in which seafood made of Malpek and the high Mexican dishes of Ja’o are at the forefront.”

Five different food places include Chaya, which serves breakfast and dinner (and severe decoration inspiration), and lunch spot Ja’o, where groomed porcos with pineapple hano puree in highlights includes juicy porc tacos, avocado, pine pine nuts, and herb quails with fresh paneer, and Sikil Pak Dip, roasted pumpkin seeds and tomatoes prepared.

But if you, like me, are all about seafood, then Malpek is your place. The elegant dining room has an open kitchen with a grill of fire – each dish contains fire, four or an element of smoke.

We ordered the day to catch the day for two, which was Snow from the Gulf of Mexico, grilled and marinated in spices. The fish probably was sufficient to feed a family of four, but as it was delicious and soft, my mother and I did a very good job (almost) finishing it. We paired it with a side dish and a light, fruity mexican caburnet sovenus with the whole grilled cauliflower.

Activities and experiences

For me, the main event on Riviera Maya is always the beach and sea, which guests like to lounge poolside, there is a lot of place to do so-two waterfronts in the zig-zag-shaped infinity pools in the size that are surrounded by chase lounge, cabanas and abundant greenery. The imperfect pool service ensures that guests will not have to rise to a finger to enjoy a cool cocktail or light cutting plate. Welfare activities such as yoga and pilates classes, stand-up pedalboarding, and kayaking are also available with a fully equipped gym.

I found that the terrible service in the hotel is beyond its walls, as well as. The resort has partnered with a local tour company to create a custom adventure journey program for the guests of Waldorf Estoreia. The day -long journey, during which a highly knowledgeable guide was with us, took us to a private vehicle (with a lot of snacks for the road) to a ‘Balam Maya archaeological site’. Then, we left for a nearby Sencot, Hubiku, where our guide had sun chairs and catering sets. It was like a private beach club with senote access. After a fresh dip in the water and a shot of Tequila, we finished touring with day and lunch and some free time into colonial valadolids.

The spa

Including elements of local culture and traditions is another subject during resort facilities and decorations. And anywhere it is not more pronounced than the 40,000 square -foot Waldorf Estoria Spa. Everything about this is in the direction of providing an authentic experience inspired by the nature and cultural heritage of the region-a node for thousands of seneats, inspired by dots, which inspires Yuktan, which inspires 21 healing rooms and swimming pools, with a smoking circular seating area.

The manager of the spa, Omar Sanchez, stated that the ancient Mayas believed that Seba trees, many of which have been planted here, connect our world through their roots and through their branches to the underworld with the sky. This is why my magnificent 80 -minute aromatherapy massage, called yellow seba, began from my feet (this treatment ended in a private plunge pool outside the treatment room). There is also a special body lotion with Ceiba tree oil in the category of products spa.

The hydrotherapy pool of the spa is another highlight, as it sits between the palms and the juicy native vegetation, and the perfect place to relax between treatment.

Family friendly offerings

While I did not take advantage of any of the family -friendly activities at the resort, I will definitely bring my six -year -old son to migrate to the beach. The hotel has a family pool and provides activities such as Treasure Hunts, Painting and Cookie to Busy and Entertain.

For families traveling with infants, the resort also offers cribs, child-friendly toilets, bottle warmer, bathrobes and coloring books.

Place

The resort cancan is just 15 minutes away from the International Airport, making it an ideal migration, even for a long weekend (especially if you live on the East Coast and there are direct flights to the cankan of your local airport). While the hotel is very calm and calm in itself, if you are in the mood of some vibrancy and nightlife of the cancan, the city is about 17 miles away and easy to reach through taxi or private transfer, with which the hotel can assist the conscience of the hotel. For guests in snorkeling mood (see out for whale sharks), the resort can arrange a boat tour for Isla Mudes.

Accessibility and stability

Waldorf Estoria Riviera Maya has a roll-in shower, handrail, a handheld shower head and a shower chair equipped with a chair.

The resort ground features the facilitated 237 acres recognized by the Government of Mexican as a “voluntary reserved area”. During the construction of the hotel, the team included air bridges, underground tunnels, motion reducers and special crossings to protect wildlife in the area.
