ith service as effortlessly serene as the gentle spume washing up on the powdery vanilla sands, the staff at The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun –known elegantly at the hotel as Ladies and Gentlemen – don’t limit their provision of sublime experiences to human visitors.
The local sea turtles are also taken care of when they arrive to nest each May, with teams patrolling the beach at night to gather eggs to protect from the elements. It’s just one way in which the combination of wild and wellbeing comes together at this superlative Mexican retreat, where the Ladies and Gentlemen are on hand to facilitate and direct you to your every need.
Experience, explore, relax
From the marbled lobby, scattered with local art pieces, to the epic crystal chandeliers and its location on the vast, immaculate beach, this is a hotel that prides itself on attention to service. Your only worry will be whether to take a cookery lesson in local cuisine at the oceanfront culinary center, take a bespoke day trip to the epic Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum, or immerse yourself in the spa’s sumptuous whirlpool bath.
Dine downtown
Cancun, as the undisputed hedonistic playground of Mexico, has a plethora of new dining and drinking options that mirror the outstanding levels of service and quality that The Ritz-Carlton are masters of. Take a trip downtown to the uber-chic La Habichuela for an al fresco table and a feast of impeccable seafood ceviche on the stone patio as the sea almost laps around your feet. Rooftop views and expertly mixed cocktails served into the early hours are present and correct at Plaza Peninsula. Gaze out over the twinkly jewellery box skyline of Cancun from here.
Snorkels and sculptures
If you can drag yourself away from The Ritz-Carlton pool the next morning, there’s a unique chance to combine art and aqua adventure at MUSA: Museo Subacuà tico de Arte (the Underwater Museum) where, incredibly, you can snorkel your way around an underwater sculpture garden of modern art created by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor.
The Ladies and Gentlemen at The Ritz-Carlton can, of course, arrange everything for you. And if you want to go with them on a nocturnal excursion to see those nesting turtles then, naturally, you only have to ask.
