Palafitos

How many of you have dreamt about a stay at an overwater bungalow? You are not alone! One of the most common travel goals I hear from clients is experiencing the relaxation and romance of an overwater bungalow. Yet, this is quickly followed up by reasons they think this dream can not become a reality. I often hear that the travel time and cost makes this simply unattainable. I am here to let you know that the dream can be a reality, because overwater bungalows are offered in destinations much closer than the South Pacific! 

The most recent overwater bungalow I spent time at was Palafitos at El Dorado Maroma in Riviera Maya, Mexico. You read that right, Mexico!  Making an overwater bungalow experience more accessible and affordable than many thought possible. The bungalows are beautifully appointed with every detail accounted for. 

Some of my favorite aspects of the Palafitos are:

The glass inserts on the floor. You will never miss a moment with the beautiful blue ocean with this experience!  It is likely you will see a fish and maybe even a turtle or two. 

The beautiful warm wood details that you will find throughout the bungalow. The expansive ceilings coupled with the wood beams give the bungalow that ‘wow’ factor when first entering.

This bungalow truly is bathroom goals! It includes an expansive double vanity, a jetted tub for two and both indoor and outdoor showers. No detail was left out when they designed this bathroom.

The outdoor area is by far the showstopper of the Palafitos. You can enjoy a morning coffee and breakfast in the outdoor seating area.  Cooling off is easy when you have a private plunge pool right on your deck. Relaxing with a book and an afternoon cocktail is an ideal state in the chaise loungers. If you are feeling more adventurous, simply grab some snorkel gear and enjoy the direct access to the ocean!

El Dorado Maroma

Palafitos are a dream accommodation, but a stay here does not stop with the overwater bungalows. You have full access to the adjoining property, El Dorado Maroma. Your access includes all inclusive amenities at 6 restaurants, 4 bars, entertainment options, and a full service spa. Also included at the Palafitos is butler service. Some examples of the unforgettable touches butlers can provide in your stay include a spectacular coffee sunrise experience or a romantic lunch picnic on the beach! 

The short plane ride, coupled with the all-inclusive experience Palafitos offers, turns the overwater bungalow dream into something that is within reach. Due to this, you will find many dates sold out up to a year in advance. It is key to start planning well in advance to make this dream a reality and Travel Ease is here to help.
