InterContinental Presidente Cozumel Resort Spa

A sprawling resort with all the trimmings, including an infinity pool on a cove; spa treatment rooms perched over the water; and four glamorous restaurants and bars.

Just for grown-ups. Little ones have a playground at their disposal and thatched roof palapa for shaded hangs.

When the architects and designers who erected this ode to luxury settled on their muse, it was unequivocally the turquoise Caribbean Sea, which sprawls infinitely to the horizon here. Each and every guest room option maximizes the views thanks to sleek floor to ceiling windows and natural-inspired color palettes (and yes, it’s worth asking for one with a panorama of the ocean). The 390 square foot Premium Rooms feel spacious thanks to walk-in showers and balconies, which many rooms include, but our favorite room is undeniably the Reef Suite: a 970 square foot vacation fever dream, with a private pool set before the beach and shaded outdoor living room.

The spa is truly stunning, with breezy treatment rooms set atop the glass-clear water itself and treatments inspired by Mayan traditions (get the chocolate fondue wrap).

You never expected to have one of the best Italian meals of your life in Mexico, but tonight at the resort’s Alfredo di Roma Trattoria, that’s exactly what’s happening: the fettuccine alfredo is so divine you’re coming back here again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next….
