It’s date night at the Royal Hideaway Playacar. Wear khaki pants and a cotton pink polo or dress up the pants with a navy/ pink tie for a dinner look. Mix and match all the pieces.

North America, Travel
Be Tulum Margaritas, Le Zebra, Mediate, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Virgin America, Yoga
Why Go Now -Because it is THE place to go. The Riveria Maya (including Playa del Carmen, Mayakoba & ending 40 miles down the road at the bohemian ultra-cool Tulum) is paradise. Think turquoise water, open air restaurants, Mayan ruins, jungle, holistic spas & lots of tequila makes this truly heaven. Fly Virgin America to experience their new “airline dating” system! Send a drink or meal to any passenger via their digital seat map. Chances are you won’t be deplaning alone. Takes dating to an all new “high.”
Does being married or single influence Where2Stay? Location, cost, size & child friendly all play a part. Do you want your hotel, hip & modern with sexy dark lounges, a DJ spinning “singles” on the roof? Or do you prefer a quiet, elegant & romantic hotel? Sometimes you might want to “marry” the two which is the hardest to find. You will see an M (married), S (Single), or an MS (married/single) next to each hotel
Where2Stay –
Amansala – Think echo chic. The ultimate yoga retreat to detox, d-stress, meditate & recharge during the day, cocktails & dancing at night (or sleep, your choice.)

Be Tulum – A boutique hotel w/ private Jacuzzis and pools. Meandering gardens, a cocktail lounge overlooking the ocean. Quietly super cool. (S,SM,M)
