Excellence Playa Mujeres

Perched on 2 miles of chalky white sand along the Playa Mujeres peninsula, this adults-only, all-inclusive Excellence outpost offers guests gorgeous surroundings. Suites are appointed with Jacuzzi tubs, flat-screen TVs, pillow menus, stocked minibars and private balconies or patios. But you shouldn't stay cooped up indoors. Outside, the seven swimming pools, nine bars and long stretches of sand offer ample opportunities for relaxation. As for dining, you'll have 12 venues to choose from, though past visitors suggest dining at Chez Isabelle, citing its tasty French plates, attentive service and romantic atmosphere as particularly memorable. And for an extra dose of R&R, sign up for a replenishing treatment at the Miilé Spa. (Keep in mind, all spa treatments cost extra.) If you're craving some more activity, dance lessons, cooking classes and an introductory scuba diving lesson are all part of the all-inclusive rates. Plus, Cancun, Mexico, sits 8 miles south.
