Slip into your room's double-jetted tub, and let the cares of the urban jungle give way to the soothing peace of the tropical jungle at the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha Riviera Maya in Mexico. With luxuries like personal hammocks and feather pillows, you'll find it difficult to believe you're in a thatched-roof bungalow in a patch of jungle teeming with iguanas, ring-tailed lemurs and coatis. This is eco-tourism at its best!

Exploring Hurricane Wilma, and Emily( the story)
This resort has gone through a few names changes in the last few years. As well as proprietors.
Unbeknownst to us, we were visiting the resort after the Palace resorts already sold it, and after there was a land dispute, and after the coast line was hit by two hurricanes, and after the once vast beach belonging to the hotel was confiscated by another hotel and closed off. And lastly after all the animals that once comprised the nature reserve that used to occupy this land, were all driven off by the previous owner.
In the remaining, functioning, part of the resort there are signs pointing to unfound flamingo and alligator terrains. There are pathways blocked by overgrown shrubbery and impassable rubble. About 75 percent of the resort is still in shambles from hurricane Emily, and has not been restored.
The devastation from this natural disaster was really disheartening, and made our vacation really somber. People were working consistently to haul away debris, still, five years later. The Resort USED TO BE so enchanting, you can tell by what is there now. Everything is in the middle of a romantic jungle-like wooded land. There are several fresh water ponds and streams, and one by our private hut (with jacuzzi tub).
The beach however was enclosed by a fence and the coast line was a rocky and unfriendly shallow coral reef. No swimming!
The food was occasionally really good, but other times, a bit unsettling. It just didn't bear the biggest resemblance to steak. Breakfast and deserts were the best things to have. Eggs with Chorizo! and home made flan.
The highlight is really the rooms. The resort obviously had a lot more to offer in the passed. Now it's more like an ecological discovery than a vacation. Not the fun in the sun kind of place.

Room Information
A unique layout of a cozy and peaceful guestroom in a relaxing getaway with all the luxury and comfort of a five stars resort, refurbished indoors with double jacuzzi and branding amenities; a relaxed exterior and a spacious terrace with hammock.
Bel Air Riviera Maya offers 144 guestrooms located in two-story villas scattered throughout the grounds. Villas are brightly colored and have steeply sloped, Mayan-style thatched roofs. Spacious decks are furnished with hammocks, tables, and chairs. Room decor includes white, roughly textured walls; pale granite floors; rattan headboards; stone nightstands with reading lamps and candleholders. Rooms include two-person jetted tubs behind the bed; bathrooms have stall showers.
The resort grounds are an eco-friendly paradise. As you wander the resort on foot or by bicycle, it's hard to miss ring-tailed lemurs, iguanas and coatis. If you're lucky, you might even see manatees in the lagoon.
What We'd Change
The resort's beach is rocky and not great for swimming. Luckily, you can grab a towel from the resort and simply walk a few steps north to a beautiful and sandy public beach.
Why You Should Go
With afternoon tea time and nightly entertainment, the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha in Riviera Maya is a refined and relaxing base for exploring the Yucatan's eco wonders and the area's Mayan heritage.

Hotel Description
Eco-Tourism Paradise at the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha Riviera Maya
Slip into your room's double-jetted tub, and let the cares of the urban jungle give way to the soothing peace of the tropical jungle at the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha Riviera Maya in Mexico. With luxuries like personal hammocks and feather pillows, you'll find it difficult to believe you're in a thatched-roof bungalow in a patch of jungle teeming with iguanas, ring-tailed lemurs and coatis. This is eco-tourism at its best!
When you feel like taking a dip, amble down the trail from your bungalow cluster to the 400-ft, free-form pool. Snag a cold cerveza at the swim-up bar, and then plop down in one of the sun loungers for a little one-on-one time with the sun. Just beyond the far end of the pool is the resort's somewhat rocky beach. If you can't do without the crystalline crunch of warm sand under your feet, don't worry; it's only a short walk north to a gorgeously sandy public beach.
The restaurants at the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha Riviera Maya offer a range of stellar ? la carte dining options. Your choice of cuisines includes an Italian-Mexican fusion restaurant, a restaurant with a slew of International favorites and a delectable Japanese option. Even the snacks at the pool bar are top-notch. Don't be surprised if the guacamole is prepared from fresh avocados as you watch. For an additional charge, you can upgrade to the all inclusive Gourmet Experience package and dine stress-free for your entire stay.
Within the hotel's 37-acre enclave is a serene fresh-water lagoon sometimes populated by a herd of manatees. As a guest, you can explore the lagoon in a kayak or even with a snorkel. Soak up the ambiance and the healing waters with a massage in the resort's cenote--or natural well--located on the property.
Be sure to set aside time to explore the Mayan pyramids at Chichen Itza or the Mayan caves at Aktun Chen. The staff at the Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Xpu Ha Riviera Maya are happy to help you book tours or arrange deep-sea fishing trips and scuba diving excursions.
