One More For Mexico

For some reason, I'm obviously feeling Mexico this week. So let's head a little further down the coast from Playa Del Carmen to Tulum. Check out the new little design hotel Mezzanine . There are only 4 suites in this beach-front hotel (rates are about $200/night). Each one features queen size platform beds, a wooden spiral staircase leading to a loft area with futon couch, bathrooms with italian design fixures and overhead rain showers. There is a private sundeck and plunge pool for guests. The on-site restaurant features classic beach cuisine combined with the fresh, zingy flavors of Thailand. There is also a lounge that features performance artists and guest DJ's from London & Ibiza. It's about 1 1/2 hrs and a $115 cab ride to visit the ruins of Tulum from Cancun.
