Where is Sensira Riviera Maya

Sensira Resort and Spa is a hidden gem located on the pristine waters of Petempich Bay in Puerto Morelos town, just 22 minutes from Cancun International Airport, and a short ride to all that Cancun and Playa del Carmen have to offer!

Our Experience with Sensira Riviera Maya

We visited the resort a few days after it officially opened and it was love at first sight! Everything is just beautiful, and the amenities they offer are top-notch.

Pros and cons of the Sensira Riviera Maya

PROS

  • The hotel opened in 2021, so it’s still very new, and everything is pristine and shiny.
  • Kids of any age can really go WILD with the incredible activities available. Plus, the kids and teens club close at 9 pm giving you the perfect time for a romantic dinner à deux.
  • Guests will find a sophisticated dining offer comparable to fine dining restaurants in major international cities.
  • There is only one wedding per day, so you can be certain you will have the full attention of the staff directed to your event.

CONS

  • Honestly, the beach is not particularly interesting here, not as deep blue or clear as other areas nearby however, coral reefs are super close making it ideal for fishing trips or snorkeling tours.
  • We sincerely hope it doesn’t rain on your wedding day, as your only backup option is the ballroom. It is huge and beautiful, but it’s the only option.

Rooms and Sections

Rooms are named after precious stones in reference to the luxurious materials, and exclusive amenities they offer. The modern Mexican decoration will make you feel right at your own beach residence with elegant wooden furniture, beautiful handmade textiles, and folk art pieces here and there. A tasteful delight.

Sapphire family rooms are huge accommodations that can fit 5 to 7 guests in extra large suites with bunk beds, separated from the main room with a curtain for a little privacy, but still able to keep an eye on the young travelers.

The adults-only Amber section provides the ultimate relaxation with a hydro-massage tub, beautiful ocean views, personalized butler service, and access to the exclusive Bar Lounge.

The Beach

Sensira Riviera Maya is located at Bahia Petempich in Puerto Morelos, a laid-back, low-key Caribbean town where fishermen still bring the catch of the day to local restaurants and divers go discover underground wonders at the reef just ashore.

The conditions of the water, sand, and reef will sometimes darken the waters, making it look different from the Caribbean beach you would expect. Anyways, the water is perfect for a refreshing swim and the beach is long enough for a brisk morning walk or a romantic promenade at sunset time.

Very nice, if you ask us.

Food & Drinks

Foodies at heart will be delighted with the sophistication and variety of each restaurant’s menu. Try the international buffet-style dining room, or exquisite Italian dishes, order some Mexican specialties, grab a quick bite at the casual snack bar or pass by the tea house for some sweet treats.

If you are in the mood to see a show or perhaps give a show, you must visit Rodeo Grill steakhouse, where guests are encouraged to ride a mechanical bull for everyone’s entertainment. Just remember to do it BEFORE you have dinner!
