Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star

Character and identity

Set on the jungle-meets-beach edge of Playa del Carmen, this 900-suite, adults-only all-inclusive opened in 2021 as a tribute to Mexican artistry. The property is organised into five themed "casas," each devoted to a craft (textiles at Casa del Diseño, cooking at Casa de la Paz, music, ceramics, painting) with check-in, dining and workshops housed within. Architecture is stylishly modern, deferring to the lush surroundings. Nine restaurants span Mediterranean to Chinese, anchored by Paco Méndez's Encanta, with ten bars including a speakeasy. Muluk Spa layers pools, hydrotherapy and river views into a jungle setting. Service runs high-touch and personalised.

Who's it for

Best for:
Active, culturally curious couples who want an all-inclusive that actually engages them. Expect pottery, weaving, dance and vegan cooking classes, unlimited access to Grupo Xcaret's eight ecoparks with transfers included, and serious eating across nine venues. Design-minded travellers who like a sense of place will feel at home.

Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children, since the hotel is 16-and-up only (sister properties accommodate kids). Anyone after an intimate boutique stay should note the 900-suite scale, and travellers who want to wander a walkable town will find the resort-bubble format limiting.

Bottom line

What sets this place apart is the workshop-and-casa structure, which turns an all-inclusive into something closer to a cultural immersion, paired with park access that genuinely extends the property. Book it if you want activity, art and ambitious cooking under one wristband; choose a casa that matches the craft you actually care about, and prioritise a dinner at Encanta.
