Melia Hotels International's all-inclusive Paradisus resort brand expands its portfolio with two new Mexican properties, Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Esmeralda and Paradisus Playa del Carmen La Perla, opening today. Located in the Playa del Carmen enclave on Mexico's eastern Caribbean shore, the resorts’ amenities include dramatic free-form pools, artful landscapes, a YHI Spa, twelve restaurants and ten bars.
Calling itself the first adults-only resort, Paradisus La Perla offers 394 suites, including 120 “royal service” Suites, two of which are presidential suites. Guests of the royal service area will enjoy adult oriented amenities including a private pool, bar and exclusive restaurant, as well as butler service providing preferential reservations for restaurants, spa treatments, activities and excursions. The resort's 60 swim-up suites allow guests to access the free-form pool directly from their terrace.
Paradisus La Esmeralda is a family oriented property. The two hotels share a common area referred to as El Zocalo, a term in Mexican culture which signifies a city's social center. Here, Paradisus guests can find several food and beverage options, YHI spa, the "Palapa" activities center, and 25,000 square feet of meeting space, including a ballroom and theater.
While staying at Paradisus, guests are invited to partake in complimentary “life enriching classes” such as tango dance lessons, bike tours and wine tasting. Paradisus also provides guests with access to area golf courses.
