Our experience
PRO
• Staying at this resort will make you feel like a little kid all over again – it’s all about endless fun and playfulness.
• The resort is brand new, and it definitely feels that way. The rooms and amenities are spotless and incredibly fresh.
• We’re big fans of the outdoor gym! It’s the little details like this that really make the resort stand out.
CONS
• If you’re seeking a more demure resort, this might not be the one for you. It’s truly – and we mean truly eccentric. A better option nearby would be Atelier Playa Mujeres.
• The beach isn’t a long stretch of white sand, but rather a series of smaller bays, so if you’re envisioning a long romantic stroll along the shore, this may not be the setting for that.
• This resort offers stunning beach venues, including a beautiful main strand and a more private smaller one. However, the Golden Hour bar has an uneven surface, which may be inconvenient for receptions, and the Sky Bar has limited access, making it more challenging for large floral arrangements or guests with mobility issues.
Rooms & Sections
Captivate Swim Out Suite – There are so many fantastic room options at SLS Playa Mujeres, but we absolutely loved the Swim Out Suite. The video below really showcases how great it is!
The Rooftop Suite is another absolute showstopper at this resort. With breathtaking panoramic views, this suite offers a luxurious and spacious setting, complete with elegant décor and high-end amenities.
Beach
The white sand and turquoise waters at Playa Mujeres are truly stunning, perhaps among the finest on Mexico’s Caribbean coast. However, the beach is not a continuous stretch of white sand; instead, it consists of several smaller bays. So, if you’re hoping for a long, romantic walk along the shore, this might not be the ideal spot.
Food
We really enjoyed the wide variety of food at the resort – there’s something to satisfy every taste. One standout was our lunch at Twiggy Restaurant in the Adults-Only section, which was absolutely exquisite. The octopus ceviche and shrimp tacos were unforgettable.
And that’s a wrap! If you need help bringing your vision to life, we would love to talk with you about how we can turn your dream destination wedding into reality.
