1. Rosewood Mayakoba, Playa del Carmen
Set on a mile-long stretch of beach, the Rosewood Mayakoba is a peaceful retreat that largely attracts couples, though it does feature an extensive children’s program. The Rosewood’s Deluxe Overwater Lagoon Suites offer swim-up access, as well as private pools and decks right on the water (stairs lead to a platform on the lagoon). It’s worth noting, however, that swimming is not recommended here due to the wildlife in the lagoon.
