Part of the Yucatán Peninsula on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, the Riviera Maya is known for its picturesque white sand beaches. This is where you’ll find TRS Yucatan Hotel, a stunning hotel that’s surrounded by tropical greenery and mangroves.

A romantic spot for couples and honeymooners, there’s a VIP beach area, where you can relax on Balinese beds, and three pools, including an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a pool set within a tropical garden and a saltwater pool right on the shore. If you really want to push the boat out, book a suite with its own private pool or Jacuzzi.

Don’t miss the on-site Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness centre, where you can spend the day hopping from the sauna, steam room and hot and cold hydromassage tubs. Treatments on offer include massages, facials and beauty therapies.

When it comes to wining and dining, the resort has six bars and restaurants to choose from. Head to La Bohème for chic French food or Tentazione for Italian fare, while carnivores should beeline for the El Gaucho Argentinian steakhouse.

Guests staying at TRS Yucatan Hotel can not only enjoy its exclusive facilities, but also get full access to all the amenities and services across the resort complex, located within the Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts properties.

With glorious views of the Dominican Republic’s turquoise coastline, it’s easy to see where this resort gets its name from.

Suites here come with 24-hour butler service (we did say you wouldn't need to lift a finger), with some also boasting a hot tub on the terrace or swim-up access from the pool.

Find your zen lounging in a cabana, sipping on a cocktail in the poolside bar or unfurling with a deep tissue massage in the onsite spa. If you’ve the urge for more activity, sign up to a yoga class, beach volleyball or archery.

Guests also get access to TRS Turquesa Hotel’s sister hotels (a golf shuttle cart will transport you back and forth), where you can also play mini golf, badminton and petanque.

Flanked by coconut trees, the pool at TRS Coral Hotel is the perfect spot for unwinding, whether that’s on a water lounger or nestled in an egg-shaped cabana. Thirsty? The swim-up pool bar means you don’t even have to towel down to grab a drink.

While its gorgeous pool and proximity to the beach make TRS Coral Hotel ideal for guests wanting to spend most of their holiday reclined on a sunbed, it’s also great for those who want a little bit of activity, too.
