Riviera Maya Plunge Pool Suites

By: Maureen Mattson, ERV Asst Editor - Updated Aug 22, 2022

The latest trend in luxury hotel stays is your own small private pool, so here's our choices for plunge pool suites in Mexico's terrific Riviera Maya.

Sometimes smaller than a regular swimming pool, sometimes full-size, plunge-or splash pools, as they are sometimes called, are the ultimate for relaxation and romance. Once found only in the highest-end penthouse suites, plunge pools are becoming more popular in hotels and resorts in Mexico. No need to fight the crowds for a lounger chair when you’ve got a private pool on your terrace or balcony! Take a dip together to cool off and celebrate your honeymoon or romantic vacation.
