Sensatori Resort Mexico  

• The Setting
  
  Sensatori Mexico fronts a beach in Bahia Petempich, part of the exclusive Riviera Maya. It’s a well-groomed beach with Caribbean white sands. It’s got some nice little extras, too, like four-poster daybeds and a jetty where you can perfect your sun salutations in an early-morning yoga class. A 25-minute drive north brings you to Cancun, while Playa Del Carmen is 35 minutes in the opposite direction. The Hotel
  
  Sensatori Mexico is being brought to you by Azul. It’s one of the biggest hotel names in Mexico, so you know you’re in for something special. In terms of layout, it’s been divided into sections – for example there’s an adults-only quarter complete with rooms, pool and restaurant. There’s a family zone, too, with rooms close to the kids’ and teen clubs. Plus, there’s a Premium section where exclusive extras include pillow menus and a pool-side butler service. So although it’s a big hotel, it’s still got a bespoke feel to it depending on where you base yourself. The Pools
  
  When it comes to water, it’s less about the sea and more about the pools. Five lagoon-like pools snake their way around the grounds. One is adults-only, with a huge swim-up bar, another is for everyone and ideal for activities. Plus there’s a separate pool for children. This one is part of a splashpark complete with hoops, nets, tipping buckets and a water slide. All of them are framed by generous sun terraces complete with cushion-plumped loungers and linen parasols. Some have in-the-water sunbeds, too. Over by the adults-only pool, and also in the Premium section, Balinese daybeds bring a touch of luxury to a day in the sun. The latter also has butlers keeping guests in fresh towels, magazines and gourmet bites throughout the day. The Entertainment
  
  At Sensatori Mexico, entertainment takes a backseat, allowing dining to take centre-stage. That said, there are some nice touches to look out for. Saxophonists often play by the adults’ pool. A Mariachi band will sometimes strike up in the Mexican. Talking of restaurants, three of them have bars where you can enjoy a drink but special mention has to go to the Mojito Lounge. With 30 different types of mojito on the list, this is the place to wind down come the cocktail hour. Another great venue is the Roof Garden Lounge, the place to head for nightly shows. The Suites
  
  Whichever section you stay in, smart, super-sized suites come as standard. They all feature in-room trimmings, like flatscreen TVs, DVD players and iPod stations. They’ve even got hot tubs. The bathrooms are great, too, with giant rainforest showerheads among the standout points. But some rooms deserve a special mention. Like the swim-up suites that let you step straight into the water from your room. A number of Premium suites even have hot tubs in the water itself. Then there are family suites that come with sliding partitions and two plasma TVs, so you can watch what you like while the children enjoy their cartoons. There are all sorts of variations so you can choose a room that suits you…
  Adults Exclusive Junior Suite Set in the adults-only section, this air-conditioned suite has been designed for two. It comes with a king-size bed, a bathroom with a rainforest shower and a hydrojet whirlpool bath. Plus there’s an over-sized balcony or terrace. Mod cons include a 32” plasma TV, a DVD player and an iPod docking station. Plus some of them are swim-up suites that open out on to a lazy river.
  
  
  All of the following suites feature exactly the same facilities as the one above plus some added extras…
  
  
  Junior Suite With room for 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults and 1 child, these larger suites feature a king-size bed or 2 queen-size beds. You can book one that comes with a sea view, too. When it’s just adults sharing, they’re available as swim-up suites. Choose one of these and you’ll be footsteps away from a refreshing dip.
  
  Family Suite These come with a queen-size bed as well as double and single sofa beds. Plus there’s a sliding partition and two plasma TVs to keep the whole family happy. Each one has room for 2 adults and 3 children or 3 adults and 1 child and you’ll find them in the dedicated family section. You can book one with a sea view, too.
  
  
  
  Premium Suite If you’re looking to up the ante, choose a suite in the Premium section. They come with all the facilities of the Junior Suite plus nice little extras like champagne, fruit and flowers waiting when you arrive. There’s a special concierge service, too, not to mention indulgent touches like aromatherapy and pillow menus. DVD hire is also included. Each one can hold 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults and 1 child, and comes with a balcony or terrace overlooking pool or sea. They’re also available as swim-up suites when it’s just adults sharing. These come with a private heated whirlpool that’s connected to the lazy river outside.
  
  The Experience
  
  You can join in as much or as little as you like. Play tennis in the morning. Join a game of beach volleyball after lunch. Then head to the spa for an early evening massage. Or you could just laze away the day by the pool.
  
• Relaxation The spa* here is a great space in which to get your equilibrium back on track. Some rooms come with an ocean view, one is especially for couples and there’s even a special bridal suite. Children don’t miss out either, with their very own pampering treatments.
  
• Sports & Activities Favourites like tennis, beach volleyball and beach football are included, and you can pay a little extra to try kayaking or scuba diving. There’s a gym that stays open round the clock, plus yoga sessions out in the fresh air.
  
• Play Special mention has to go to the children’s facilities. They’ve got the 21st-century touch. Think Nintendo Wiis, Playstations and X-boxes*, plus plasma TVs and internet stations*. Highlights at the Azul-run children’s club include a Fisher Price room kitted out with all the latest toys, and My Gym* - a soft play area for children to climb, swing and bounce their way around. Teens, meanwhile, get their very own hangout featuring a DJ booth, a cinema screen and a pool table. At night it transforms into a nightclub with mocktails, a dancefloor and chill-out sofas. If you’re coming away with a baby, you can pre-order free kit including pushchairs, cots, sterilisers and baby food.
  
  * Some treatments and facilities are payable locally.

There’s a hotel wedding co-ordinator to make sure your big day is flawless.

  The set-up is 24-hour Gourmet Inclusive, which means all your food and drink is included – and the quality is exceptional. There’s a choice of six restaurants. The feather in its culinary cap is Le Chique. Here, you’ll be served an eight-course meal combining flavours and textures we guarantee you won’t have tried before. All we’ll say is expect the unexpected – it’s a meal you’ll be talking about for years.
  
• Le Chique Dressed in magenta, black and silver, this adults-only restaurant looks more like a Parisian boudoir. Think haute cuisine with textures and flavours fashioned to surprise even the most discerning diner.
  
• Tapaz Dishes, like shrimp kebabs and crispy calamari, are placed on a spinning plate in the middle of the table. It sparks a tearing, dipping, dunking frenzy that stretches into the night.
  
• Zavaz This Caribbean kitchen serves everything from jerk chicken to mahi mahi. The snacks are good, too, with 5oz grilled Angus burgers and hot dog paninis.
  
• Zocalo A cactus here, a Mariachi band there – no prizes for guessing this is where you can try Mexican favourites.
  
• Sienna Your first port of call at this Tuscan-inspired trattoria should be the central table loaded with loaves and speciality oils. Just save room for all the extra courses the Italians like to squeeze in.
  
• Spoon This spacious central venue is where you can go down the help-yourself route. Hot bacon and eggs, a choice of fresh fruit and pastries, omelettes cooked to order.
  
  You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in Spoon or Zavaz. Zocalo is open for brunch through to late lunch. Dinner is served in all restaurants, and room service is available 24-hours a day.
  
  24 Hour Gourmet Inclusive With Gourmet Inclusive you can eat in all of the six restaurants and enjoy round-the-clock room service at no extra cost. In fact, all your food, drinks and activities are included as part of the package, unless otherwise indicated. Talking of drinks, that means premium brand alcohol, too.
