The reappraisal began last summer on TikTok, where some fed-up women [...]
The 178-room hotel is a welcome high-end addition to the party-heavy hub of the Yucatan Peninsula, situated on its own 100-acre compound on the beachfront. There will be five restaurants, including the seafood-focused fine dining spot Malqueque and Peacock Alley cocktail bar, plus two plunge pools and a spa with treatments nodding to traditional Mexican [...]
