Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Le Méridien is among Cancún's most inviting luxury options, with a refined yet welcoming sense of personal service. From the intimate lobby and reception area to the best concierge service in Cancún, guests feel immediately pampered. The relatively small establishment is more of an elegant boutique hotel than an immense resort -- a welcome relief. The decor throughout the rooms and common areas is classy and comforting, not overdone. Rooms are generous in size with small balconies overlooking the pool; due to the hotel's design, rooms do not have ocean views. Each has a large marble bathroom with a separate tub and glassed-in shower. The hotel attracts many Europeans as well as younger, sophisticated travelers, and it is ideal for a second honeymoon. A highlight of -- or even a reason for -- staying here is the Spa del Mar, one of Mexico's most complete European spa facilities, with more than 4,570 sq. m (49,190 sq. ft.) of services dedicated to your body and soul. A complete fitness center with extensive cardio and weight machines sits on the upper level. The spa consists of a health snack bar, a full-service salon, and 14 treatment rooms, as well as men's and women's steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools, cold plunge pool, inhalation rooms, tranquillity rooms, lockers, and changing areas. Aioli is a splendid fine-dining restaurant. Facilities: 2 restaurants; lobby bar; 3 cascading outdoor pools; 2 lighted championship tennis courts; whirlpool; watersports equipment/rentals; supervised children's program w/clubhouse, play equipment, wading pool; concierge; tour desk; car rental; business center; small shopping arcade; room service; massage palapa on the beach; babysitting; laundry service
