Visual Tour: ME Cancun

At ME Cancún, couples step into a world where luxury knows no bounds and virtually anything is possible. The 2008 AAA Four Diamond Award–winning resort, a member of the esteemed Sol Meliá group, fuses sexy sophistication with comfort and style on the Caribbean Sea.

Guests live like celebrities here, whether lounging on shady Balinese daybeds, sipping cocktails at Maxim beach club or turning heads at the lively Rande Gerber Lounge—a hotspot for locals and visitors alike. Another big draw, the resort rests on one of Cancún’s most beautiful beaches, known for its powder-white sand and clear cobalt waters.

Customization and personal attention are hallmarks of all Sol Meliá properties. ME Cancún’s Aura Managers help couples plan the romantic getaway of their dreams from start to finish. Nearby activities include sightseeing at Xcaret ecopark, touring the ruins at Tulum, Xel-Há and Chichén Itzá, and shopping in Playa del Carmen. Of course, many couples choose to seclude themselves at the resort, cooling off in the spectacular infinity pool (one of Mexico’s largest) or savoring room service from their private balcony.

Accommodations invite extended stays, with plush king-size beds, monsoon showers, Aveda bath products, plasma satellite televisions and pre-programmed iPods. Original artwork by famed artist Yuri Zatarain defines a mood of whimsical experimentation and an appreciation for natural beauty. Guests staying at The Level, a collection of 52 adults-only premium suites, also enjoy private Jacuzzis, preferred dinner reservations, complimentary breakfast and a private lounge.

VIP-treatment continues at the YHI Spa, where a Spa Valet assists guests in designing a program to address their individual needs. Authentic Mayan and Aztec rituals highlight the extensive menu, along with an assortment of other purifying, relaxing and invigorating treatments. The resort’s unique “Water Rituals,” hydrotherapy circuits of heated and scented massage showers, help prepare spa-goers for their experience.

Not surprising, engaged couples and honeymooners receive first-rate attention from the resort’s event department. Wedding planners promise to fulfill every bride and groom’s fantasy for their big day, from flowers to music to spectacular photo ops. Ceremony options range from a grand celebration in an elegant ballroom to intimate beachside affairs, with the Caribbean Sea as a dreamy backdrop.
