My Personal Favourite |
|
|
£1799 -- Royal Hideaway Playacar 5* includes 6 restaurants, 6 pools, impeccable service and on an all-inclusive basisFlights included · via Voyage Prive |
|
The Royal Hideaway Playacar is not only one of the 'Leading Hotels of the World' and recipient of the 'Travellers' Choice Award', it's also been checked and vetted by yours truly, where I spent my honeymoon in 2013. Enjoy all-inclusive in a totally unique way with restaurant bookings taken by your villa concierge in advance. Premium everything means you can enjoy a Grey Goose Martini before dinner and a 12 year old single malt after, drink champagne to your hearts content, and sip premium cocktails all day long. The Restaurants are excellent and there are 6 of them - my personal favourites were Las Ventanas, their most exclusive and select à la carte option and Azia which holds a AAA 4 Diamond Award (thats right - in an all-inclusive) with a focus on Japanese cuisine - could have eaten there every night. But there's are 4 more that are all great too. There's too much to describe here, it has to be seen to really be appreciated so check it out for yourself. |
