Hotel Esencia
The main structure at the Esencia, a converted home of a European duchess, houses a handful of guest rooms; other accommodations range from the Jungle Suites, surrounded by beachside gardens, to free-standing beachfront bungalows. Whatever the extent of your splurge, though, you’d have to be a duchess yourself not to feel pampered at Esencia.
Like other resorts in the area, the Esencia organizes excursions like snorkeling, horseback riding, jungle walks, and windsurfing. One unique offering, though, is the organic spa, using principles of ancient medicine. And Hotel Esencia features not one restaurant, but three: the Mexican-Mediterranean Mistura, the Japanese Taiyo, and an outpost of the global steakhouse brand Beefbar.

The personnel were so nice to give me an upgrade. I had not stayed in you hotel for quite a while and I liked what they did with the property of the old Al Cielo hotel. Very well integrated into the original Esencia.
Gorgeous rooms and grounds, thoughtful service, and sense of privacy. I saw other guests occasionally but the entire hotel and experience is designed so that it feels like your own resort. The beach is amazing!
Great, private get-away.
Serene and beautiful setting all of a high standard. Removed from the chaos of neighbouring Playa del Carmen and Tulum towns
