TRS Yucatan

The adults-only TRS Yucatan, which is part of the Grand Palladium Riviera Maya group of five resorts, is a smaller, more intimate alternative to its larger sister facilities. TRS Yucatan is ideal for couples in the lovely Akumal area, which is located between bustling Tulum and Cancun. Along with soft-sand beaches and lovely turquoise waters, Akumal is called after the sea turtles you'll likely see swimming beside you when snorkeling.

The resort's contemporary accommodations range from spacious Junior Suites to premium suites with private plunge pools and Romance Bungalows with unique wood furniture, secret outdoor showers, and private decks with kayak landings. The choice of a large resort sprawl, while being able to retire to a quiet, private base, provides for a rather exclusive vacation. Even with only TRS, there's a lot to do. There are six restaurants, various bars, a VIP beach area, a spa, and three pools, one of which is an infinity pool with spectacular ocean views. In addition, sports like kayaking, diving, and windsurfing ensure that guests are never left sitting aimlessly on the beach unless that is precisely what they want to do.
