Acanto is a native plant of Asia and Africa, adapted to the Mediterranean region for its utilization in gardens. The plant is used to represent arts, and Acanto Hotel is considered by some to be a unique piece of art among the hotels in the Riviera Maya. That’s why owners and employees of this hotel aren’t surprised by guests and tourists fascinated with this structure full of details that transports visitors to a magical and relaxing atmosphere.
Since a few years ago when Acanto opened its doors, the management and the owner decided the hotel should have a fresh Mediterranean style and a mystic Indian touch. So it was then that the designers Iliana Sánchez and Griselda Colín knew how to understand their ideas, mix them with the magic of Playa del Carmen, and turn this place into reality, creating a tranquil and calm atmosphere for its guests. No doubt that if you escape from La Quinta Avenida and walk on one of the side streets, you will agree with the guests that this is the perfect place for a romantic escape; the location is excellent, and it is beautifully decorated, unique and interesting.The elements that were mainly used to build it are dark wood and bricks filled with eye-catching colored fabrics that match the wood of the heavy furniture, and the enigmatic sculptures of the gods Brahma, Shiva, and Ganesha. The bamboo, the big vases, and the mirrors mix up with the plants, and tropical trees are lit up by the torches and candles that at night turn Hotel Acanto into a visually fascinating space.
The 7 suites that currently exist are all the same, and they are in the process of adding 13 more to this charming complex. With a total of 20 units, Acanto will be a dreamy condo hotel with an exclusive restaurant, and luxury residences of one, two, and three bedrooms with prices that start from $275,000 usd. A few have already been sold.
Equipped with an enigmatic charm, the suites at Acanto have full kitchenettes, television, air conditioning, large showers, big terraces, and a common area with swimming pool and BBQ. Additionally, it has the personnel willing to make their guests come back to enjoy the services they offer: full time concierge, 24-hour security, cleaning service, wireless internet, and long distance phone calls, among others.
The hotel’s staff ensures that the mysticism in the decoration of this place is a key factor when the visitor to the Riviera Maya chooses the hotel, because the feeling of peace and tranquility of this place attracts people from all around the world. That’s why even if there are renewals and changes on the decorative objects and the structure, Acanto will keep on being a beautiful Hindu precinct that perfumes with the smell of incense the streets of this wonderful multicultural town in the Mexican Caribbean.
This hotel is a clear example that in Playa there’s place for everything; to venture, to invent; from styles and objects of distant cultures, to the most purely Mexican, but always trying to be authentic, innovative, and of course, perfect.
