6 Mexico Beach Resorts to Visit in 2015

Newly opened beach resorts in Mexico are continuing the trend of offering all-inclusive vacations, in which one price covers accommodations, food and drink and most activities. Many of these properties are continually raising the bar on luxury inclusions, and guest are benefiting from such perks as customized dining plans and free telephone calls to the USA. Not all of the new builds in Mexico are all-inclusive properties – some are smaller boutique hotels that encourage guests to set off and explore the region outside the wall of the resort.

Here are six standouts to visit this year.

1. Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, Riviera Maya

The all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya manages to walk a tightrope of sorts – being sleek and sexy while at the same time providing great family vacations. Guests will find the customary signature collection of rock memorabilia on the walls of the resort, and hit songs from the annals of rock play in the common areas. The resort is expansive, with 1,264 guestrooms; some of these rooms sport sky terraces offering incredible scenic views looking out over the Caribbean Sea.

Break the bank and book the celebrity-branded Rock Star Suite, designed by rocker Bret Michaels. The resort caters to every member of your family; kids have HIT Entertainment's Little Big Club, teens have their own lounge, and parents have their own adults-only section called Heaven, a resort within a resort with a spa, four restaurants and a premium service nightclub.

2. Zoëtry Villa Rolandi Isla Mujeres, Isla Mujeres

At Zoëtry Villa Rolandi Isla Mujeres Cancun, it all starts with a private 30-minute yacht ride from the Cancun mainland to Isla Mujeres – the Island of Women. The resort is on the small side for a property from AMResorts, with only 35 suites. This creates an exclusive vibe at the all-inclusive resort, where guest are treated to a complimentary 20-minute massage, unlimited worldwide calls, and Bvlgari bath amenities. The property's full-service state-of-the-art Thalasso Spa has seven wet and dry treatment rooms, and a heat-regulated natural seawater pool.

3. Generations Riviera Maya, Riviera Maya

Families will really enjoy the beachfront Generations Riviera Maya, the newest all-inclusive property from Karisma Hotels & Resorts. The all-suite resort has ten room categories, with 144 suites offering a choice of private swim up suites or suites with their own plunge pools.

Generations also has the onsite Eko Kids Club, where children are supervised by certified professionals, allowing their parents down time of their own. The resort's restaurants offer lots of dining options and guests can even customize their meals pre-arrival by filling in an online form. The resort's butler service guarantees a seamless stay.

4. Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta

The newly opened Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta is in the city's Golden Zone, on Mismaloya Beach, on the southern coast of the Bahia de Banderas. The resort has 336 ocean view suites, including swim up suites. For those unfamiliar with swim-up suites, they live up to their name, enabling guests to exit their room into their own pool area that meanders along a lazy river into the larger resort pool, with its swim-up bar and organized activities. While the resort welcomes families with kids and has plenty of children's activities, there's also an adult-only pool and lounge area for those seeking peace and quiet.

5. Hotel Mousai, Puerto Vallarta

Vacationers looking for sleek surroundings catering to the almost-adult and older (16 years at least) now have the option of booking a stay at the 72-suite Hotel Mousai. The all-inclusive property is on the southern part of Puerto Vallarta's Banderas Bay and occupies a portion of the much larger Garza Blanca resort grounds. Hotel Mousai sets itself apart by putting a premium on the sophisticated and trendy, featuring a spa with a hydrotherapy circuit, rooftop pool and bar, a terrace restaurant, and Hiroshi, a restaurant serving Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisine. The hotel's suites have their own jetted plunge pool on a private terrace overlooking the Pacific, making the resort a perfect choice for well-heeled lovebirds.

6. Kin Sol Soleil, Riviera Maya

Kin Sol Soleil (meaning Sun Sun Sun in Mayan, Spanish and French) has 10 luxurious suites, with two of these having two bedrooms, making them a good choice for families with kids. The hotel has a spa and a beachfront restaurant, Pavo Real by the Sea, which serves Mexican-influenced French cuisine with a touch of traditional Maya cooking. Guests at the compact property are poised to explore frenetic Playa del Carmen to the south, and the more laid-back fishing village of Puerto Morelos to the north.
