The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun

Escape from the world in the Ritz-Carlton Spa where specially crafted treatments drawing from ancient rituals are top of the menu. Comprising a brochure of water rituals, massages, body treatments and facials, what will you have first?

We recommend starting in the aromatherapy showers and steam rooms before taking a dip in the whirlpools and plunge pools then curling up with a good book in the relaxation gardens. We’re feeling more relaxed just thinking about it.

Families are at The Ritz-Carlton Cancun’s core and this is made apparent through its vast menu of children’s activities. Promising to be both fun and educational, little minds will be stimulated with a schedule of daily experiences from treasure hunts and traditional Mexican games to evening entertainment of safaris, bubble parties and arts and crafts (Friday and Saturday evenings only). Please note you must register your little darling by 7pm the evening prior in order to participate in any of the kids’ programmes.

From May until November annually, female turtles nest their eggs on Mexican beaches. Buried deep in the warm sands, she then returns to the ocean. In order to protect these endangered species, the team at Ritz-Carlton move the eggs to Turtle Camp, a safe nesting area away from predators. Once hatched, the baby turtles are released back into the ocean at dawn on the day they were born with the help of the Turtle Guarding Volunteers. Be part of this humbling experience by enquiring at the hotel during your stay.
