Rosewood Mayakoba is a busy resort between playa del Carmen and Cancún. Other reviewers have it right. Even at capacity it's not crowded and feel you have the place to yourself. If you like that feeling of solitary peace and tranquility and that feeling of pure relaxation don't miss out on the spa at Rosewood Mayakoba, Sense.
Like other resorts yes they offer spa treatments such as massages, facials and some other interesting services such as herbal treatments however what I enjoy the most is the spa itself.
Senses has an amazing pool, relaxation area with waterfall, top notch steam room, dry sauna, cold pool, and jacuzzi. I'm not sure why more guests don't use these facilities daily. On my trip I came here everyday. I'm not a loner but at a spa I love the feeling of being by myself. They also have a small gym which has everything you need and offer yoga and other float classes every morning. Giovanni the fitness trainer does a lot of the classes. He's super friendly and always ready to help if you need anything! He also offers personal training if you need it.
Upon arrival they always greet you with a cold towel. You can put your stuff in a locker then they explain the process of how the spa works. Your free to do what you want however for your first time it's nice to follow their sequence which is steam room with sea salt scrub, then rinse, then dry heat, then jump in freezing cold pool (refreshing to say the least) then jacuzzi. I personally love going from steam to cold pool. I usually do that a few times.
After your water therapy I usually rest and have a nice fresh juice. Everything is free. By the way if you don't have a spa treatment you can still access the spa for free which is amazing.
Spa treatments can be expensive but they are great if you on holiday and want to treat yourself. Many people head straight to the beach when at this resort but for me my first stop is always the spa! read more
