Our stay at Casa Esencia was unique. We enjoyed every moment from the first day we arrived until the last minute of our stay.

The massages at the SPA were fantastic, the beach where the Estate is located is one of the best ones on the Mayan Riviera, the gardens around the property are beautiful, definitively a place to relax and enjoy.

The food is just delicious at breakfast, lunch or diner, needless to say all the staff was fantastic and incredibly helpful in every way. We recommend not to miss the opportunity to stay at this gorgeous place !

Far from the crowds, Esencia was a little piece of paradise on the Rivieran Maya. The hotel is intimate and beautiful, nestled in a lush estate. The staff are exceptionally attentive and professional. I highly recommend this place to those looking for serenity and peace- you will not be disappointed.

We have just returned from a week stay at the Esencia hotel. This was our second visit to this hotel. We travel all around the world when on vacation and this is the only place we have gone back to visit. Perfect setting for relaxation and to recharge your soul with positive energy. This hotel is located in one of the most magical areas of the Riviera Maya where you may perceive the great energy that flows in the area.
The rooms are very peaceful and comfortable. In the bathrooms the showers are wonderful with wood floor and two different showerheads, one of them a rain shower. The hotel provides ipods in the rooms with very beautiful music. We never left the hotel during our stay.
I love yoga and they a great yoga teacher named Hania who teaches from Monday - Friday at 9am. Saturdays and Sundays they provide Tai-Chi classes with a very good teacher. To complete your relaxation you may go to one of the best spas I have visited around the world. This spa is like a magical place where different massages and treatments are provided. Try a reiki with Gerardo or a facial with Azucena and you will notice that they are masters in their field.
The food is excellent and you may ask the chef to prepare something special during your stay. All waiters go an extra mile to help you and will personalize your visit by calling you by your name the next day.
Well, I highly recommend this place if you want to feel special and enrich your soul. We just came back and we'll be back next year.

Stayed here in May and had a very nice time.
Its a very quiet hotel with only a few rooms - so you have plenty of peace. Perfect for honey mooners and those looking for total relaxation - but don't expect too much of a buzz in the evenings. You can head into Playa del Carmen for that though.

Staff are very friendly and the food is good. There is a very nice beach with little cabanas for lounging in, although we spent most of our time by the 2 pools.

Our room was large and clean, with plunge pool for cooling off... although by late afternoon it got so warmed by the sun that it was more like a hot bath!
