In a palm grove on the edge of a pristine rocky cove with a golden-sand beach lies the exclusive and chic hideaway hotel of El Careyes.
El Careyes´ rooms and suites are built in a pueblo-style horseshoe around an immense oasis pool and lush gardens. All are spacious, overlooking pool or ocean, with welcoming terraces and many with private flower-strewn plunge pools. In a spirited blend of Mexican and Mediterranean styles, El Careyes´ smooth white walls contrast with colorful Mexican tile, furnishings and art work.
Careyes is a delight to contemplate nature in this biologically diverse area: observe turtles on their annual return to lay their eggs, or engage in serious bird-watching. For the active crowd, snorkeling, fishing, sailing and kayaking are among the choices, as well as a good match of tennis. A full spa caters to those seeking rejuvenation, and there are many niches from which to lounge and worship the sun.
To watch the sun go down as you enjoy a fine dinner at La Lantana, the El Careyes restaurant, is the perfect ending to the day.
Consider This ...
If you enjoy fishing, this is a great place to be. But even if you are not, you´ll still want to go out on one of the pangas to tour the coastline. The homes built along the cliffs are spectacular, and the only way to see them is by boat or air.
You´ll Especially Love
The small bay, shared with beautiful Playa Rosa with its wonderful restaurant/bar, and a few homes that line the hillsides. It really is unique. Take out the kayaks and explore the area, the water is quite calm, protected by out islands.
You May Want To Know
The whole area of Costa Careyes was developed by the Brignone family. The patriarch, Gian Franco, has built many of the areas most famous homes. But his most recent endeavor is a construction of a huge bowl, "Copa del Sol", this is perched on a cliffside just up the coast. Its huge! And its going to one day be his tomb! You have to check it out!
What´s Fabulous Here
The fantastic meandering pool in front of the beach that allows both couples and families to find their own space.
Who It Would Appeal To
Honeymooners and lovers. Although its great for kids as well. The hotel is very private –a great celebrity hang out– and safe for young children.
