The Tides Riviera Maya is one of the hottest properties on the Mexican Caribbean.

Honeymooners will delight in the privacy of the individual villas, each with a plunge pool, surrounded by lush tropical gardens.

The Tides will surprise and delight with numerous small details, from super lightweight duvets and fine cotton sheets to the in-room DVD players and the heated pools for spontaneous midnight dips.

The poetic theme of the resort is romantic, with a different verse delivered to your room each evening as part of the turn-down service.

An added bonus is the outstanding restaurant, providing innovative cuisine in a alluring and informal setting, although these standards come at a price and guests should be prepared to spend US$50 or more per person for a three course evening meal. The wine list is impressive too.

We can also recommend the resort's stylish and highly professional spa. The subtly-lit couples massage room is a real treat for newly weds - ask about the "aSparalove massage" and prepare for an evening to remember!
