A popular resort for affluent millennials vacationing in Cancun, Mexico, recently earned is first AAA Five Diamond rating, a distinction reserved for the top luxury hotels in North America.
With this achievement, NIZUC Resort & Spa joins the less than one percent of the 27,000 properties rated by AAA according to a news release.
Once a base station for Mayan astronomers and later a retreat for world leaders, NIZUC Resort & Spa opened in March 2013 with a limited number of rooms, and fully completed all guest rooms and facilities the following September.
The 274-room resort features six restaurants, three bars, black mosaic pools, a kids club, a 30,000 square-foot spa, a conference center, two tennis courts and non-motorized water activities.
The villas are located in the center of the resort, and range from 738 up to 1,640 square feet. They all include private pools.
The signature restaurant, Ramona, offers traditional Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist. NIZUC SPA by ESPA features multiple treatment rooms, an exclusive Asian therapy room and private Spa Villas for couples. The Spa Villas include a pool and an outdoor deck. The spa also features a beauty salon and a modern fitness center.
The hydrotherapy facilities are separate for ladies and gentlemen and offer a wide range of elements to detoxify and relax through a guided hydrotherapy circuit of contrasting temperatures and strong and subtle water pressures, as well as a coed exterior Spa Pool with views of the garden.
Also available are two tennis courts with artificial turf and lighting in partnership with Peter Burwash International (PBI), a popular professional tennis academy.
