Pools and Spa

The heart of the resort is its massive 22,000-square-foot lagoon-style pool, complete with waterfalls, a slide for the children, and a swim-up bar for the grown-ups. If you are looking for a quieter moment, the adults-only silence pool offers a tranquil space to soak up the sun. For ultimate relaxation, visit the El Cocay Spa. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages, body treatments, and the sauna or steam room, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

The resort is situated directly on a beautiful stretch of white sandy beach. You'll find that sun loungers and umbrellas are provided free of charge for hotel guests in the dedicated beach area. Because of the nearby reef, the waters here are exceptionally calm, making it a safe and inviting place for a swim in the turquoise sea.

Sport and Entertainment

There is never a dull moment here if you like to stay active. You can head out on a kayak, try your hand at paddleboarding, or join a game of beach volleyball. For those who prefer to stay on land, there are tennis courts and a fully equipped gym. As the sun sets, the resort comes alive with professional live shows and themed nights that capture the spirit of Mexico.

Family Amenities

Families are well-looked after with dedicated spaces for all ages. Kids will love the mini-club, where they can take part in supervised games and crafts, while the teens' club offers a cool hangout with video games and music. There is also a dedicated paddling area in the pool and a playground to ensure the little ones are always entertained.
