Rose's Picks
Rose's four perfect days at Mayan Mansion
Picked by Rose Medina, House Manager, Mayan Mansion
The short answer
Rose Medina's four perfect days at Mayan Mansion: arrive to a chef's dinner and the pool; spend day two at the cenotes and dinner at Alux; day three on Cozumel, the golf course or at home with massages, ending with the speakeasy party; and close with the champagne brunch before checkout.
This is the plan I suggest to most groups for a long weekend. Mix and match: it works for birthdays, reunions and golf groups.
1. Day 1: Arrive and settle in
Private transfer from Cancún airport, a stocked kitchen, an afternoon in the pool and hammock, and a welcome dinner by our private chef.
Why Rose picks it: Don't plan anything else. The first night is for the house.
2. Day 2: Cenotes and a cave dinner
Wake-up yoga by the pool, a morning at Jardín del Edén and Cenote Azul, an afternoon nap, then dinner at Alux.
Why Rose picks it: Back home, end the night with an album in the listening room.
3. Day 3: Choose your adventure
Golfers play Playacar or El Camaleón, others take the ferry to Cozumel, and anyone who wants to stay gets a massage at the house.
Why Rose picks it: Everyone meets back for dinner at home, then the big party in the speakeasy.
4. Day 4: Champagne brunch
A slow morning with the champagne brunch around the kitchen's champagne bar, a last swim, and the transfer to the airport.
Why Rose picks it: The best way to say goodbye.
Places change. Before your trip, Rose confirms what's open and what she'd recommend for your group that week.
