Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection

Environment: The hotel is praised for its breathtaking and serene environment, offering a peaceful retreat with beautiful architecture and lush surroundings reminiscent of a jungle.

This is a wonderful, intimate resort that is beautiful, with amazing architecture. The entire staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. A great place to relax and be very well taken care. Can't wait to return.

Just returned from 6 exceptional days at Etereo, which is our third time visiting the property. We've loved each of our stays, and despite the decision to go during the "wet season" the weather held out for us again this year. The property continues to deliver, from the great rooms to the excellent food as well as the wonderful people that we've met there, both staff and other guests. Some specific shout outs would be our Guias, Adelaie and Jerry, Adrienne, the beverage manager, Daniel, Joel and Gilberto, our favorite bartenders at Itzam and Che Che's, our pool waiter Daniel, and the Mayan spiritual advisor Jenner. My failure to mention or recall everyone else should not be read to mean that anyone else that we interacted with was less wonderful, our experience being that pretty much everyone that we came in contact with was to a fault generous with their time and assistance. We always leave feeling as if we have developed new friendships, more than having been well served by a professional hotel staff, which is likely what makes them such sought after professionals. We took advantage of the spiritual jewelry workshop, the Introduction to Mexican wine and the Tacology and Fuego and Vino specialty dinner menus. The food was, as always, wonderful and we would heartily recommend taking advantage of their excellent breakfast menu, and of course all the various salsas that were made available. We also ate off site at Toro, the restaurant at the adjacent St Regis, one evening, which was good as well but a little loud as there was a large group eating there that night. Our other adventure was the guided tour booked through the concierge of Coba and several of the Cenotes, which was a nice way to spend one day off site, although be warned the mosquitos were pretty bad, which we were told was true this year across the peninsula. Beyond that, we spent our days visiting the well-appointed fitness center, languishing at the pool and beach, exploring the property and getting to know the staff. Etereo is not a Cancun party palace and despite our personal efforts to keep the bar open, once dinner service was finished, the hotel was quiet and so anyone that is looking for more activity than that might want to look elsewhere. However, if the above sounds like the perfect fall vacation, we would definitely recommend a stay at Etereo!
