Each of the ingeniously designed rooms here has a partial view of both the lagoon and the ocean. Public spaces throughout the hotel have lots of dark wood accents, but the most notable feature is the large, rectangular swimming pool that extends through the hotel and down to the beach, with built-in, submerged sun chairs. There's also an oversize whirlpool (the largest in Cancún), a sun deck, and a snack bar on the seventh-floor roof. Rooms are on the small side but are bright and comfortable, with small balconies and bamboo furniture; bathrooms have polished limestone vanities. A popular nightclub, Batacha, has live music for dancing from 9pm to 4am Tuesday through Sunday.
