PB hotel design editorial

Carved from jungle that meets the Caribbean at one of the Yucatán Peninsula's last undeveloped stretches of coastline, Maroma has operated as a singular kind of refuge since its founding by American expat José Luis Morales in the 1970s — long before the Riviera Maya became a byword for resort tourism. The property, now part of the Belmond collection and recently reimagined by Mexico City-based designer Paulina Dosal, spreads across 25 acres of protected jungle in low-slung white-plastered structures whose palapa roofs, visible from the air as a scatter of thatched cones above the canopy, keep the architecture in quiet conversation with its surroundings rather than imposing on them. Dosal's renovation deepened the property's Mexican vernacular rather than replacing it. The 72 rooms and suites are grounded in hand-painted encaustic cement tiles — their ochre, chocolate, and ivory geometric patterns drawn from traditional Mexican craft traditions — set against white-washed walls and warm walnut millwork with cane insets. Textile-hung tapestries in bold Rufino Tamayo-influenced graphics anchor the headboards, while turned-wood lamps and mid-century inspired nightstands give each room the feeling of a well-loved house rather than a managed hotel interior. In the restaurant, exposed timber-beam ceilings and woven rattan pendant lights frame a room that opens toward the palms and sea, the curved plaster banquette at its centre tiled in blue-and-white geometric patterns that echo the Talavera tradition.

"Visited with my wife and two young children last week. The hotel is one of my favorite in the entire world and this was a return trip. The staff and service are amazing, the grounds and rooms are impeccable and the hotel has such a wonderful sense of place. We will continue to return for many years to come. The food is also amazing particularly the breakfast and the entire staff was so kind and friendly to our children. Love this hotel."

"I spent 8 nights at Belmond Maroma, recently renovated under LVMH (2023–24). This was my first time in Maroma, though I’ve stayed at other Belmond properties and visited Mexico many times. I met Executive Assistant Manager Belarmino Gonzalez several times; despite managing a full resort, he always made time to check in and have a lovely chat. His attentiveness clearly sets the tone for the staff. Breakfast is excellent and à la carte. Freshly made empanadas, especially the chorizo and queso, were a highlight. I met the pastry chef, who prepares daily baked selections delivered to the table. Service from Erik, Ricardo, Armando, and Maria was consistently efficient and warm, and breakfast manager Hugo was especially welcoming and attentive. Dinner at Casa Mayor (Arturo and Oswaldo) and Bambuco (Daniela) was equally enjoyable. Housekeeping was exceptional. Thoughtful touches like hanging wet clothes to dry and cleaning sandy shoes stood out. My ocean-facing room was beautiful, and my butlers, Emmanuel and Carlos, were outstanding. Emmanuel’s calm, soft manner immediately put you at ease. The team also surprised me with a birthday cake and thoughtful treats, including a book on Mérida, where Belmond will soon open a new property. Activities were well curated, including an engaging tequila tasting with a knowledgeable bartender, and daily jungle yoga with excellent instructors Katia, Jessica, and Adri. Although sargassum season arrived early this year, Belmonds location in Maroma bay limits accumulatio somewhat, and the hotel actively maintains the beach. Poolside service from Gibran, Jorge, and Onesimo was attentive throughout the day, including handling towels, drinks, skincare, snacks, and shade adjustments seamlessly. I ended most days at the spa, where Laura always brought me a refreshing honey lemonade. Bliss! A wonderful birthday stay, and I look forward to returning."
