Our Finest Playa Mujeres Review includes:
Ready to dive in?
First, where is the Finest Playa Mujeres Hotel?
Location
This stylish resort is located north of central Cancun just a 38-minute drive from the International airport.
Far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still close enough to enjoy all of the regions top attractions.
BONUS:
Golf lover?
Playa Mujeres Golf Course is a five-minute drive away (more on this later).
Style
Finest Playa Mujeres possesses a contemporary design which impresses you from the moment you enter the two-story lobby.
The interior is a sleek and slick balanced with clean architectural lines.
Think creams, whites, light greys, highlighted by the pale blue hue of not just 1 but 10 inviting pools!
As you explore the grounds you will notice occasional pop of color too which keep things interesting. π
In general, the hotel feels very new.
What I like about this particular resort is that itΒ isn’t a high rise building, it blends seamlessly into its lush surroundings with the highest floor being the 7th.
The immaculately pruned gardens add to the peaceful and serene ambiance of the place.
Beach
You’re coming to the Caribbean, of course, you are going to want the low down on the beach at this hotel.
I’ll be honest, you may not get the Windex blue shores of Cancun, but you will get soft powdery white sands and a swimmable ocean.
The tides of Cancun’s hotel zone are particularly rough at times, and often very dangerous if you have small or young children who like to play in the ocean.
Isla Mujeres AKA woman’s island (located just 30 minutes of the shore) “protects” the Finest Playa Mujeres beach front a bit, so wave action here is much less.
What I love about this area is that the beaches here are much more tropical with foliage and palm trees surrounding them.
It’s everything you would expect and want for a relaxing vacation and can be enjoyed without overcrowding and looming cityscapes.
Sargassum and seaweed have not been as much of an issue in this area but can strike any time.
The good thing about this hotel is that the three resorts next door are all owned by the same company so in general, they do a great job cleaning every day as needed.
I tend to be more a pool person than the beach, but the facilities at Finest make things comfy and easy.
Beach inclusions:
You will find towel huts every 20 meters or so there’s no need to carry one anywhere with you around the resort, plus there is a waiter service on hand to cater to your every need.
What’s not to love about that?
“Another pina colada please, sir”
Las Dunas Beach House is one of the resort’s eateries located on the beachfront, here you will find freshly cooked snacks and meals every day.
If you chose to upgrade your stay to Finest Club or Excellence Club, you can also enjoy the privilege of private beach areas with extra service and facilities such as adults-only areas, raised double loungers with mattress topper, beach bags and more!
Rooms
If you like plenty of space while vacationing, Finest Playa Mujeres certainly delivers.
Each of the oversized rooms comes with a two-person hot tub, two-person rain shower, private balcony, and a sofa bed.
But the lavish luxury doesn’t end there…
Enjoy a complimentary pillow menu and turndown service too!
The family suites have an extra bedroom, while the swim-up suites and plunge pool suites allow you to swim just outside your door! Heaven!
If you do choose to stay on the ground floor in a swim-up suite, you’ll find sunbeds and hammocks opposite all of the rooms so you don’t even really need to leave the area at all if you didn’t want to.
I mean, if you can’t have a lazy day on vacation, when can you?
Spacious balconies are something I always look for on vacation as there’s no better place to soak up the morning sun and enjoy your coffee.
In terms of details, the Finest Playa Mujeres goes above and beyond to make this space home from home during your stay.
