An Eleutherian Oasis of Tranquility
An Eleutherian Oasis of Tranquility
Nestled discreetly within its own sprawling estate on the verges of powdery white sands of Xpu-Ha, The 5-star Hotel Esencia is less a hotel and more an experience – the very elixir of enchantment. Tucked between the vibrant towns of Playa del Carmen and Tulum, this luxurious hideaway promises and delivers an eleutherian escape where excellence, exceptional service, and pure euphoria are everything.
The Arrival:
The moment you step onto the grounds of the property, an overwhelming feeling of calm washes over you. Check-in is seamless; the adventure begins: whisked away in a jungle buggy, guided by a friendly concierge, through the winding, Jumanji-like jungle path. Setting the tone: a blend of pristine luxury and untouched nature. Every detail of your stay is handled with a humble expertise that is refreshing.
The Jungle Suite: Modernist Luxury
King bed Suite with Plunge Pool. The suite's design is a triumph of aesthetics, featuring stark white lacquered floors. Colonial shuttered doors complete the look, while modernist furniture and vibrant artisan Mexican soft furnishings provide a brilliance of colours against the glossy backdrop.
The walk-in wardrobe held thoughtful amenities: complimentary logo flip-flops and a beautiful bespoke Esencia in-house-coloured striped beach bag. The minibar was generously stocked with complimentary juices, sparkling water, and every flavour of tea imaginable.
The Experience: Tailored Tranquility
A basket of homemade pastries, along with a fresh carafe of coffee and pot of tea, is delivered to a secure wooden box on your private terrace at your chosen time of the morning. This beautiful traditional touch allows for a perfect start to the day, accompanied by the dawn chorus melody of bluebirds and the sounds of the jungle orchestra. We even had friendly tree bears pop by for the pastry crumbs!
The resort offers the perfect balance of activity and relaxation. Days can be spent chilling by one of the pools or in the beach cabanas, exploring the long shoreline and white sands, perfect for serene reflective walks.
A HIGHLIGHT of Our Stay
We enjoyed an organized manatee snorkel trip in the hotel's private cenote lagoon.
Dining:
The three restaurants ensure exceptional, palatable culinary delights throughout your stay. Complimentary daily afternoon tea in the main house is a highlight.
Our evening dinner in the Michelin Beef Bar. The fillet of beef, featuring delicate fusions of flavour, was enticingly exceptional.
Day of the Dead Celebrations & Lasting Touches
Our visit coincided with the week of celebrations for the Day of the Dead. Returning to our villa, we found thoughtful gifts waiting on our terrace table: a photo frame and marigold candles for the remembrance of loved ones. These personal touches extended to our wedding anniversary celebration, marked by another beautiful gift.
The Verdict
Hotel Esencia is a place where you can genuinely disconnect and experience true freedom. It is an exceptional, exciting, and unforgettable destination that delivers excellence in every aspect. The "essence of Esencia" stays with you long after you leave.

Dear Dawn,
Thank you for such an extraordinary and beautifully composed review!
Hotel Esencia is a small family owned and operated resort with just 47 suites; we live here ourselves and take a lot of pride in what we do.
We are deeply honored that you felt the spirit of the property so fully, that sense of tranquility, freedom, and connection with nature is exactly what we hope every guest discovers here. Your description of arriving through the jungle path, hearing the sounds of the morning birdsong from your terrace, and experiencing the quiet rhythm of Xpu-Ha beach really captures the essence of Esencia perfectly!
It is especially meaningful to know that so many of our extra little details throughout your stay resonated with you, from the pastries and morning coffee service to the Día de los Muertos touches and your own anniversary celebration. Happy you enjoyed that! Our team takes great pride in creating experiences that feel personal, warm, and memorable, and your recognition means a great deal to all of us.
We are also delighted you enjoyed the cenote manatee experience (a favorite of mine as well!), your evening at Beefbar and, of course, the rest of our culinary offerings. Sharing the beauty, traditions, and flavors of Mexico in an authentic and elevated way is something very close to our hearts.
Thank you again for choosing Hotel Esencia and for taking the time to share your experience so generously. Knowing that the “essence of Esencia” stayed with you long after your departure is perhaps the greatest compliment we could receive.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back to your oasis here on Xpu-Ha beach!
Warm regards,
Kevin Wendle

Great Dinner at the Riviera Maya
In December 2025, I had the pleasure of attending a New Year's Eve dinner at this wonderful hotel, undoubtedly a hidden gem. From the beautifully landscaped pathways and well-maintained buildings to the delicious food (with great attention to detail and the talent of Chef Jeovani) and the warm service from everyone who attended to us, it was certainly a fantastic dinner to close out the year.

Dear VictorITG,
Thank you for sharing such a kind review of your New Year’s Eve experience at Hotel Esencia. We are delighted that you chose to celebrate the end of 2025 with us and that the evening left such a positive impression.
New Year’s Eve is always a special moment here on the Riviera Maya, and our team works hard to create a fun and memorable celebration that reflects the beauty and spirit of the estate...always with some midnight surprises!
Your kind recognition of Chef Jeovani means a great deal. I will be sure to share your compliments with him and the entire culinary team, who put extraordinary care into crafting festive menus and presentations for evenings like this. The attention to detail you mentioned — from the food to the service — is exactly what we hope every guest experiences.
Most importantly, thank you for recognizing the warmth of our staff. Hospitality is truly at the heart of what we do, and it’s gratifying to know our team helped make your New Year’s Eve dinner feel special.
We hope this was the first of many visits and that we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Hotel Esencia again soon.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!
First of all, I have heard about this incredible resort from so many of my friends that have been there many times and always raved about it, but have never had the opportunity to experience it myself! So, when a girlfriend of mine said she was putting a group together and invited me, I was the first to say YES, emphatically!
The resort and the experience on EVERY level exceeded my every expectation, truly. From the moment I got into the car to be driven there to the moment I left, everything was extraordinary! So THANK YOU, Hotel Esencia!
I can only begin to describe the rooms as flawless! And when I say "rooms" its almost an insult, because they are truly suites, not to be believed!! EVERY single detail is thought of and curated to perfection! I mean a plunge pool IN my room at 85 degrees?? At the end of the night before bed is like a dream...
The grounds are impeccable, the beach is stunning as is the service no matter where you go! The physical architecture and styling everywhere was also just beyond beautiful, but never felt untouchable or pretentious at all...you could just walk around barefoot and plop down anywhere and be right at home!
And don't get me started on the food!! The food is not only healthy and delicious but also beautifully presented! We had the privilege to be there on a weekend that Hartwood, a Michelin star restaurant, was doing a pop-up! How was this my good fortune?!?
The spa is also an incredible experience with an infrared sauna, multiple steam rooms, cold plunge and jacuzzi all included in your stay! Additional spa services such as facials, massages and the like, were world class as well!
We were quite a large group and had many special requests, but Yuri and the Concierge Team there handled everything without a hitch! They learned everyone's name and it all felt so personal and welcoming!
Unfortunately, I did have one bad experience...that was totally MY FAULT! I flew out of Cancun airport and had to fly directly to Palm Beach for work following this incredible experience. Cancun airport was EXTREMELY busy and very unorganized so as I was going through security I had to take my laptop out of my carry-on and place it in a separate tray. I was rushing to get my bag and get away from all the mess there, I failed to grab my laptop and flew to Palm Beach without it. Of course I only realized this when I got to my hotel in Palm Beach.
I cannot explain what Yuri and the Concierge team did for me to retrieve my laptop from airport security over the next few days! I can't even begin to understand the herculean efforts they must've gone through for my stupidity for leaving it behind!! Thankfully I had a friend from NYC staying until the end of the week, so they were able to retrieve my laptop from the Cancun airport and get it into my friends hands so she could bring it back to NYC for me! Are you serious?!?! There are no words I could ever express to thank them for what they must've gone through to make this happen!
I have worked in the service industry most of my career, and I now I have my own business, and what those employees did is beyond anything I've ever experienced ANYWHERE!! I also know that they are most likely only following the example and leadership, of the owner, Kevin, which I am eternally grateful. Hotel Esencia has the most INCREDIBLE employees and I just wanted anyone reading this far to know how much they went through for me.
Thank you for reading this very long review AND for such an incredible experience at your world class resort! Until next time...

Dear Matt S,
Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! Reading your words truly means the world to all of us here at Hotel Esencia. We are deeply grateful that you chose to join your friends and experience the property for the first time, and even more so that your stay exceeded your expectations in so many ways. My only regret is that I was away that weekend and unable to greet you personally...next time I hope!
I also want to personally thank you for sharing the beautiful photos — they captured the spirit of the house and the natural beauty of the estate so wonderfully. Guests like you help tell the story of the property better than we ever could.
As you kindly noted we are located on a very special stretch of beach between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, within a 50-acre private estate originally built as the home of an Italian duchess. Our goal has always been to preserve the feeling of a private residence while offering the comforts and service of a world-class hotel.
Your kind words about the suites, the beach, the gardens, and especially the culinary experiences will be shared with the entire team. We are fortunate to work with such talented chefs and partners, and events like the weekend collaboration with the acclaimed restaurant Hartwood are part of our effort to continually bring new and memorable experiences to our guests.
Most of all, thank you for recognizing Yurij and our concierge team. Recovering your laptop from Cancún International Airport was certainly an adventure for them, but they were delighted to help. Stories like yours remind us why we love what we do.
We believe that what makes Hotel Esencia special is not only the natural beauty of the Caribbean and the privacy of the estate, but the people who care for it and the guests who bring it to life. Reviews like yours inspire our entire team.
Thank you again Matt for taking the time to share your experience so generously. We look forward to welcoming you back to your home on the Riviera Maya very soon.

Your note truly made my day. It was such a pleasure for all of us to welcome you back to Esencia once again, and hearing that leaving was the hardest part means more to me than you can imagine.
I’m so grateful that after six visits, it still feels special to you both. That is the greatest compliment we could ever receive.
This past year Hotel Esencia was honored for the second year in a row as the only resort in the Riviera Maya with the coveted THREE MICHELIN KEYS so, in addition to your kind words, we have a lot to be proud of!
Thank you as well for your kind words about our team. They care deeply about every guest experience, and I know they will be so happy to see your note here. Creating those details and moments of care is what Esencia is all about.
We are already looking forward to your seventh journey back to paradise. Until then, thank you again for your loyalty, kindness, and support over the years.

A truly refined and nature-integrated retreat.
Our stay at Hotel Esencia was very nice. thanks to Lea, the reservations manager, who gave us a lovely room meeting my criteria of quietness, privacy and closeness from the beach.
The property is beautifully designed, with a rare sense of space, privacy and harmony with its surroundings. Unlike many hotels in the area, there is no visual or noise pollution. The atmosphere is consistently calm, discreet and elegant.
The beachfront is wide, clean and peaceful, with none of the crowding or constant activity seen elsewhere. It is a place where you can genuinely relax and disconnect.
The rooms are lovely — The indoor-outdoor flow is particularly well executed, creating a seamless connection with nature while maintaining a high level of comfort.
Service is impeccable throughout: attentive without being intrusive, and always focused on making the stay effortless.
The food is also a highlight, with consistently high quality and a strong sense of place.
What stands out most is the coherence of the experience: everything matches the promise. This is a true boutique luxury hotel where calm, beauty and authenticity are not just marketing words, but a reality.
We would absolutely return and highly recommend Hotel Esencia to anyone looking for a peaceful, high-end and genuinely restorative stay.

Dear Elodie,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beautifully written review. I'm truly delighted to know that your time with us reflected the sense of calm, privacy, and connection to nature that we all work so carefully to preserve at Hotel Esencia.
I'm so pleased to hear that Lea was able to help find the perfect room for your stay. I will certainly share your kind words with her and with the entire team!
From the beginning, our vision for Hotel Esencia has been to create a discreet and restorative place where guests can genuinely disconnect while experiencing the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya in an authentic and elegant way, on the most beautiful beach in the Riviera Maya, truly away from the big-box crowded all-inclusive hotels. A place where I would be proud to invite my friends from around the world.
Last year we were awarded 3 keys by the prestigious Michelin organization, and I could not be more proud of that honor, the only hotel out of more than 400 on Mexico's Rivera Maya to achieve their highest level distinction.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for so highly recommending Hotel Esencia. We all very much look forward to welcoming you back for another peaceful escape by the sea!
