Built to accommodate an Italian Duchess, Hotel Esnecia is a place of aristocratic traditions paired with modern luxuries. Sitting on the undeveloped beaches on the Mayan Riviera, Xpu-ha is a place of jungle bliss and pristine sands. With a variety of awards to its name, including Conde Nast Traveler’s Gold list, Readers Choice and Best Hotel in the World for over two years, as well as 7 awards from TripAdvisor and 4 awards from Mr & Mrs Smith, it is easy to see why this has become a central destination for luxury stays. Each bedroom is large enough to call itself a suite, their private terraces and sitting areas provide privacy for each guest. The dining is a culinary experience that uses the finest native ingredients and local techniques to create delicacies that have found international acclaim. Our favourite is the Beefbar, one of the sister restaurants to the Beefbar that originated in Monaco in 2005. It is simple comfort food from the finest cuts of meat prepared in brick ovens and open kitchen so you can see all the cooking in action.
