{MAHEKAL BEACH RESORT, PLAYA DEL CARMEN }

3 MexicoThe Riviera Maya section of Mexico has always been one of our favorite destina-tions, and at the Mahekal Beach Resort, we’ve found a little gem. This Mayan-style resort with palapa-style bungalows is just steps from the beach and only minutes from the energy and night-life of Playa Del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue. There’s also an oceanfront pool, the Revive Spa, an on-site dive center, private plunge pools, per-sonal hammocks, tropical gardens, four restaurants, two bars and complimen-tary breakfast. It’s the per-fect honeymoon hideaway.Rates start at $215 per night mahekalbeachresor t .com. — Molly Gregor
