#6 Best New Hotel for Romance 2008: Rosewood Mayakoba

Think of the Rosewood Mayakoba as the un-Cancun: Uncrowded, unfrenzied, unspoiled.

This extravagant new hotel (you didn't think there wouldn't be a premium to avoid all those college kids and family budgeteers, did you?) is carved out of the master-planned, 1,600-acre Mayakoba high-end resort village that lies between the beach and the jungle.

Actually, aside from the beach and the jungle, there's not much else here. Sure, you could hit golf balls at the development's El Camaléon golf course or trek to see the ruins of Tulum.

But if you simply want an elegant tropical hideaway where you can relax, swim in warm waters, be together undisturbed, and toast your good fortune, the Rosewood Mayakoba (which boasts its own tequila "library") should meet those requirements.
