Caribbean, Mexico, Playa del Carmen, El Dorado Maroma Spa & Hotel

As always, Mexico comes up trumps and this location is no exception with stunning pools, hammocks and of course the golden beach with blue ocean for as far as you can see. The rooms are a delight also, towels, dressing gowns, sofas and especially the beds! The most outstanding feature though, as you will see from browsing the pictures on the blog, is each room has it's own pool on the balcony. The attention to detail is exceptional, as is the service to an extremely high standard. There is a beautiful beach setting for weddings and a gorgeous beach front church seating around 40 people. For a smaller location this seems to have it all at The El Dorado Maroma here in Playa del Carmen. :)

Arriving at here at Tenerife you will probably enjoy dining next to the pools here at H10 Costa Adeje Palace. The evening entertainment always seems well received and you will certainly never struggle to hear even if you're at the back! All rooms seem very spacious and if you select a balcony you'll be impressed with how large they are. Everywhere is spotless with all of the staff being very efficient and always polite. Lots of nice walking around here going out of Adeje and you are just 10 minutes walk from the main shopping area too.
