The house
HiltonMangrove-backed beach resort
Dense mangrove forest buffers the resort from the highway, creating a self-contained coastal compound right on the Caribbean shore.
What it’s good at
Notable
Two oceanfront infinity pools and twelve dining options across a secluded coastal estate.
Listed
Evenings bring dedicated mezcal tastings and live performances at the outdoor amphitheater.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Tucked deep in a mangrove forest, the property sits on the ocean’s edge nestled amongst the trees and not much else.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On a secluded Caribbean beachfront behind a mangrove nature preserve south of Cancun Hotel Zone.
The rooms
Rooms keep to light wood and cream tones, and select ground-floor suites open directly onto swim-up pool patios.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two beachfront infinity pools overlook the sea, and children have a dedicated splash park with waterslides.
The gym
Rowing machines face floor-to-ceiling windows looking onto coastal greenery, and the studio runs morning spin classes.
Restaurant
Maxal
Regional Mexican dishes are served beneath dramatic stone arches, or out on a timber-slatted terrace facing the sea.
At the table
Backlit onyx counters light up the lobby bar, and casual kitchens turn out wood-fired pizzas and freshly fried churros.
