Hotel Secreto
July 31st, 2008
We all need to get away sometimes. Take a break from the usual tourist traps of chain hotels and middle-of-America steakhouses, and escape to Hotel Secreto. Just off the coast of Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a tiny piece of paradise waiting for you to come and play. We know you’re thinking, ‘Mexico? Really?’ Really. Hop a flight special to Cancun, then ditch the frat boys and slip away via one of three available docks. Thirty minutes later, as you step off the ferry, you won’t even remember that wet T-shirt contests and booze cruises exist. Preserve your sexy in the tiny 9-room boutique hotel, with its ethereal spa, two acclaimed restaurants, and infinity pool. Start your day with poolside yoga, lounge on the beach, explore the 9-square mile island by scooter (no cars are allowed on Isla Mujeres), and enjoy authentic, freshly made Mexican food while watching the day pass you by. You won’t find much nightlife here, but if you go with a significant other like we suggest you do, you won’t really need it. Okay, player? Rooms start at $168; visit www.hotelsecreto.com for more information. (photo source)
