Introduction The Mandarin Oriental is another new resort, just north of the Mayakoba complex. The property has 128 rooms stretching between the lobby and the beach (a distance of one mile — golf carts are continually available to shuttle guests to and from the beach.<img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_muM1D0jdHwA/S8jALIaAXRI/AAAAAAAABO4/yFlIVp-nwWQ/s1600/MO2.jpg"> Room Rooms in each category (Cenote, Ribera, Selva, Laguna, Palafito, and Beachfront) come in Deluxe and Premier varieties. First floor rooms are larger and are generally designated as Premier ... except for the Palafito Room category where the second floor rooms offer a partial ocean view and a rooftop pool with an even better ocean view. Rooms are large and attractively decorated in a contemporary Asian-Mexican fusion style. Bathrooms are also large with double vanities and step-in rain showers in addition to tubs. Some rooms come with outdoor soaking tubs.<br><br>Typical of Mandarin Oriental properties, the resort boasts a wonderful spa with a “renewal pool” heated to 89 degrees (which looked really appealing!)
