TRAVEL
JASHITA Hotel Tulum | BY MICHELLE FARINA
I
have had the great opportunity to stay at many luxury hotels throughout my career. Jashita Hotel is by far one of the finest properties I have had the pleasure to experience. This level of luxury and sophistication is outstanding. Jashita Hotel sits on a beautiful private beach front surrounded by unspoiled nature. Jashita Tulum Resort in Mayan Riviera is a ten minute drive from Tulum Town and a short excursion for some of the World’s most archeological sites such as Coba and Chichen Itza. The surrounding area has an abundance of incredible cenotes to visit remarkably close to the property including Dos Ojos. Upon check in, you are whisked to an incredible room with your own dipping pool and ocean views. Wine, chocolates, linen robes and starched linen sheets are just a few of the amenities provided for the guest. I can not express enough how wonderful sleeping in a white curtained four poster bed with Italian linen sheets made getting in bed quite easy and getting out of bed extremely hard. All bathrooms include rain showers with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, bidets and lovely amenities like plush towels with tassels. Free wireless internet access and ipod docking station is also provided. At the entrance to the common area is a huge buddha. The room itself evokes serenity with sitting areas and lamps that cast beautiful patterns across the room. The gift shop offers linen robes, hats, jewelry and other unique items to take home. There are two outdoor rooftop lounges, with 360 degree views for sunrise and sunset. One of the rooftops has an infinity pool with comfortable bean bag style lounges, and a cocktail bar overlooking the beautiful bay and rainforest, which offers the most amazing views. A swimming pool for Adults only and a pool dedicated to children make for a very relaxing encounter. The 1001 pool bar terrace has spectacular views, and the seats at the bar are swings bringing back childhood memories. The staff were close enough but not too close to take care of any request you may have. They remembered how you like your coffee and were happy to recommend dishes that delight. Enjoy a spa treatment while listening to the waves gently lapping the shore surrounded by sea and Jungle. We chose a few different spa treatments. The Maya Ancestral Massage was unlike any massage I have ever experienced.
