Hotel Esencia
Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico
About the stay
Hotel Esencia is a majestic 50-acre estate at the midpoint between Tulum and Playa del Carmen in Mexico. It has long enjoyed a storied past in this ancestral cradle of culture, cuisine, and comfort. Originally built as the private hideaway home of an Italian duchess on the most beautiful beach of the Mayan Riviera, it later became a Hotel, and, for some time, has been a sought after destination for honeymooners seduced by the serene comforts of this timeless mansion.
