Recreation

The majority of recreational facilities and activities described below are included in the room rate for this resort (scroll up to the All-Inclusive details section for more information).

Fronting one wing of the U-shaped hotel is a 23-meter-long (25-yard) irregularly shaped activity pool with a 16-person jetted section, shallow-water tile lounges, a swim-up bar, and an infinity edge. A 12-person spa tub sheltered by a cupola fronts the other wing and in between, a formal fountain garden contains a geometric, infinity-edge "quiet pool" measuring roughly 23 by 23 meters (25 by 25 yards) that contains bronze statues and is flanked by two-person lounging beds and padded lounge chairs. A 2.5-meter-diameter (8-ft) toddlers' pool lies secluded next to a playground.

Lapped by water that remains calm in most weather, the resort's beach frontage extends 200 meters (219 yards) along Cancún Island's north side, where it is protected from open-sea swells. The beachfront is divided into a crescent beach and a rocky section that includes an area for safe water entry. The resort's entire waterfront has garden-fringed sunbathing terraces with padded lounge chairs and umbrellas.
