The spa also offers a broad range of beauty treatments, other massages, body wraps, facials, shiatsu, reiki, reflexology and other services as well as a fitness gym, beauty salon and relaxation area.

Chichen Itza
The ancient temples and ruins of Chichen Itza, the great Mayan city which once dominated the entire Yucatan peninsula, are the region's best known and most impressive. Located a two hour drive from Paraiso de la Bonita, the visit is a rewarding look at one of Mexico's greatest archaeological sites.

Walking with your private guide among the vast platforms, pyramids, and ball courts gives you a unique appreciation for this ancient civilization. Commanding the vast central plaza is El Castillo, the site of the semi-annual appearance of the god Kukulcan (Mayan feathered snake) at the spring and fall equinoxes. Towering over the opposite plaza is the Temple of the Warriors, with its Group of a Thousand Columns, thought to be the seat for the Lords of Chichen.

Lunch at a Chichen Itza restaurant, before continuing on to enjoy a leisure walk at the Ik Kil cenote (waterholes); These deep fresh water wells and their underworld galleries criss-cross the limestone covered Yucatan Peninsula.

8 Hours - Private guide, entrance and lunch at Mayaland included.

Tulum - Boca Paila
Located above a jagged limestone cliff overlooking the Caribbean, the ancient walled city of Tulum was the Mayan's largest coastal city and important trading port. Settled during the post-Classic period (AD 900 -1500), the city was formerly known as Zama, (meaning sunrise in Mayan).

Enjoy a leisurely walk through the ruins with your personal guide who will show you the important pyramids, carvings and frescoes, once adorned in vibrant stucco paint, amidst the cities stone palaces and temples: Templo de los Frescos, Templo del Dios del Viento, and El Castillo. As Tulum is the region's most visited Mayan archaeological site, it is most advisable to arrive before the crowds. Only a 75-minute drive from Paraiso de La Bonita, we strongly recommend a 7:30 am departure.

7 Hours - Private guide, entrance and lunch at Boca Paila included

Tulum - Xel -Ha
This is a combination of the Mayan history at Tulum, the only archeological zone in the area overlooking the ocean and the natural beauty of Xel-Ha, a natural aquarium which is ideal for snorkeling. The guided tour includes the castle & the temple of the masks of the god Chaac. You will have some free time to take photos and roam around. After the visit to the ruins we arrive at Xel-Ha, less than 20 minutes from Tulum, where you can swim and snorkel and enjoy the beauty from the underwater world.

7 Hours - Private guide, entrances and "All Inclusive" package in Xel-Ha

Coba
Coba - the Mayan word meaning water stirred by the wind'- is perhaps the Riviera Maya's most unique and serene archaeological ruin. Built deep within the jungle along five lakes during the Classic period (AD 600 -900), Coba was once a prosperous city of 40,000 inhabitants and is thought to have had some 6,500 structures spread over 70 square kilometers (43 square miles) - - although only a small part of the city has been excavated today.

After the two-hour drive from the hotel, your private guide will escort you through the jungle paths connecting the ruins of this once enormous Mayan city. Here you will find wonderful examples of Mayan architecture: the carved stelae (carved stone slabs), vaulted pyramids and a recently restored ball-court. At Coba, significant vestiges remain of the unique transportation and communications network called sacheob (white stone roads) which connected Coba to the rest of the Maya world. Coba's great pyramid Nohoch Mul towers 42 meters high (138 feet) is the tallest in the northern Yucatan Peninsula and the steep climb to the top is rewarded with a spectacular views on the dense jungle and the neighboring lakes below.

After exploring the ruins, enjoy a leisurely picnic on the shores of a lake. Before returning to Paraiso de la Bonita, you will stop to visit a Mayan pueblo - a look at the traditional lifestyle of Mayan families largely unchanged for centuries.

All day - Private guide, entrance and lunch at Boca Paila included
