Hacienda Tres Rios

Three rivers—tres ríos—meet the Caribbean Sea at Tres Ríos Nature Park, a popular 326-acre eco-reserve on Mexico’s Riviera Maya established in 2001. In late 2010, Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort Spa & Nature Park opened its arms to guests, affording incentive groups an exhilarating blend of meetings, nature, culture, and creature comforts.

The 273 accommodations evoke Mexican haciendas while incorporating the same reverence for nature seen in all aspects of the park. Some guest rooms come with Jacuzzis, and all feature local-mahogany furnishings, marble floors, fine linens, and living areas with sofa beds. The all-inclusive policy covers 24-hour room service as well as food and beverage at four gourmet restaurants, buffet restaurant, poolside snack bars, sports bar, a martini terrace, patisserie, and brick-oven pizzeria.

Guests enjoy nightly entertainment, daily directed activities, swimming and kayaking in the freshwater rivers and swimming holes (snorkel included), and access to the fitness center at Ya’ax Ché Spa. Also on tap: a wide array of spa treatments, plus nearby yachting, fishing, scuba diving, and horseback riding. Team-building activities take place in the nature park.

Groups gather in a new 500-seat ballroom equipped with dividing walls, a banquet kitchen, and a state-of-the-art stage. Like all facilities on the property, the meeting space rests on pilings to allow for an uninterrupted flow of water to the sea.
