Destination of the Month
Jonathan's Destination of the Month
Playa
del Carmen, Mexico is becoming an increasingly popular destination for meetings
and incentives from the UK. The once sleepy village of Playa del Carmen doubled
twice in population in the last few years, mainly due to Europeans who discovered
the alabaster-white beaches, gentle surf, coral reefs and slow lifestyle
were the equal of the more expensive island of Cozumel just across the straits.
However it's only a short trip over to snorkel or dive on Cozumel's incredible
coral reefs.
While Playacar maintains a distinctive “Mexican” feel that some of it neighbours have lost, it also benefits from numerous outrageously delicious restaurants and luxurious hotels like the Occidental Royal Hideaway. Combine that with a relaxed Mexican-Caribbean feeling and you've got Playa. It is a great place to enjoy marvellous beaches by day and a lively nightlife in the evening, with culture on tap.
Jonathan White, Founder, Workham Hotels & Venues
Royal Hideaway Playacar - the Royal Hideaway concept is one of total luxury
while maintaining the all-inclusive nature of all Occidental’s resort
hotels.
Our resort is ideally located on 13 acres of lush, tropical foliage that opens onto the most beautiful stretch of beach on the Yucatan Peninsula. Royal Hideaway is 45 minutes from the Cancun International Airport and just five minutes from the charming town of Playa del Carmen. You'll reside in luxurious villa accommodations, complete with spacious rooms, private terraces, magnificent marble baths and countless other appointments.
Royal Hideaway's two and three story-villas represent a fusion of Spanish and Mexican - colonial architecture while winding rivers, waterfalls and fountains connect the villas to the main building. When the time comes to invigorate the body, choose from a myriad of exhilarating land and water activities.
At Royal Hideaway, we want to cater to your every whim and desire so that's why we have extensive concierge service and poolside attendants to ensure you spend more time relaxing and less time thinking.
Occidental Allegro Playacar - After a recent refurbishment the hotel
reopened in February 2006, all guest rooms have been completely redesigned
and now boast sun-kissed yellow walls with orange accents and all new furniture.
The rooms also feature walk-in closet space, and a hip bathroom complete
with modern basin sinks.
Superior Premium rooms enjoy the best locations within the resort, close to the pool and beach. Boasting a great location on white sand and crystal blue waters, the Allegro Playacar offers fun-filled days and nights.
