Excellence Playa Mujeres

Highlights

Private beach
7 gourmet restaurants
Spa with hydrotherapy
Rooftop terrace suites

Why choose it

Consistently strong couples and honeymoon reputation.
Wide adult-only pool and beach footprint.
Good dining variety without heavy reservation friction.

Jade Mountain

Highlights

Open-wall infinity pool sanctuaries
Piton mountain views
Organic chocolate lab
Scuba & snorkel included

Why choose it

Extraordinary Piton and Caribbean Sea views from open-wall sanctuaries.
One of the strongest romance and honeymoon products in the Caribbean.
Signature private infinity-pool sanctuaries.
High-service boutique scale with only 29 sanctuaries.
Access to Anse Chastanet beach, non-motorized water sports, estate walks, and resort activities.

Keep in mind

Very expensive compared with most Caribbean resorts.
Not directly beachfront in the conventional sense.
Open-air design means no air conditioning, TVs, radios, or phones in the standard room concept.
Limited nightlife and not a good fit for guests seeking a busy party resort.
The road and hillside setting may not suit travelers who want easy flat walking.
