How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
On Mexico's Riviera Maya, be a welcomed and privileged houseguest at Hotel Esencia, the former exclusive retreat of an Italian duchess.
Get together with family and friends and indulge yourself at this beachside estate where sparkling blue waters softly kiss the powdery white sands of Esencia's beachfront. There are no hotel rooms here, only guest quarters with breathtaking views of the sea. Any visit to Esencia in Mexico revolves around the main house, the heart and soul of this tropical sanctuary. Here, guests are invited to gather and while their time away, perhaps with a Margarita or four.
Post poolside sun worshipping, guests are welcome to visit the tranquil Esencia SPA. The first organic spa to employ fito therapy, ancient holistic treatments using botanicals and plant extracts.
Beefbar Esencia restaurant is a gourmet's dream: high-quality ingredients, a selection of exceptional meat cuts from Australian Black Onyx and Wx Wagyu beef and Certified Japanese Kobe beef are guaranteed to take your taste buds for a spin. For those wishing for a more intimate dining experience, a private chef and butler are for special occasions. Like, if you simply can't be bothered to climb out of bed.
