The Royal Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

This is a luxury, adults only hotel, well sited in Playa Del Carmen. Set back from a long pale stretch of sand and just a block away from Playa Del Carmen’s famous Fifth Avenue, it lets you mix lazy beach days with getting out and about. The hotel itself has low-rise, whitewashed buildings, with some Mediterranean-style touches in the form of terracotta rooftops and wrought-iron balconies, while columns and alcoves give it a rather grand colonial feel.

Inside, bedrooms are painted in calm neutrals. Chunky dark-wood furniture and big well-dressed beds. Luxury additions include double whirlpool baths and balconies with hammocks. In-room gadgets, meanwhile, include flatscreen satellite TVs, DVD players and minibars. There are six restaurants,and two lagoon-like swimming pools featuring in-pool loungers and a swim-up bar. Elsewhere, there’s a sleek spa where you can have open-air massages and treatments like algae body wraps.
