Man-Made Fun

And although there are a ton of activities for the family in the Nature Park, there are plenty of things back at the hotel.  Included in the Endless Luxury Package is a supervised club for kids and teens as well as other daily activities for the entire family.  Open from 10am-2pm and then 3pm-5pm, the kids club offers a wide variety of fun-filled programs.  Kids can create masks, watch movies, play water games at the Mini Olympics, color or paint, participate in a treasure hunt or complete eco-puzzles.

Also, upon check-in, make sure you receive the weekly family activities calendar with events organized by the Moments Creation Staff.  Everyday from 7:30am-7pm, there is something going on.  Head out for a morning jog down the beach, do yoga and meditation, play bocci ball or beach volleyball or take a Spanish class.  There are also educational opportunities where guests can learn about the history of Mexican and Mayan culture or the importance of the environmental conservation.  While the kids play games and do arts 'n'crafts, adults can participate in wine tasting and cocktail-making lessons.

Or if a lazy day in the sun sounds more appealing, head to the beach or one of the two swimming pools.  With a wait staff taking orders, food and drinks can be brought to your poolside chaise longue.  Before you pick your spot around one of the organic-shaped pools, make sure you scout out the nearest restroom.  Since the area is so large and was purposely constructed around the river as to not interrupt its flow, a family might find themselves with quite a walk to the nearest facility since there are no direct paths.  The pools are open from 8am-11pm daily.

Need more relaxation?  Mom and dad may want to splurge and spend some time at the Ya'ax Che Spa, a 13,900-square-foot facility that lives by the Mayan philosophy that all are connected to each other and nature.  The goal of each relaxing, refreshing and rejuvenating treatment hopes to restore balance within the body in order to discover harmony of the mind, body and spirit.  The spa also offers the Mayan purification temazcal, an ancient and traditional Mexican sweat bath.  This experience takes place out of the spa in a specially constructed Nahuatl hut nearby the resort's sacred  cenotes.

The Future: A Tres Rios Vision

It may appear that the Hacienda Tres Rios has it all, but believe it or not, this hotel is only the beginning of the Tres Rios Master Plan and brand vision.  Based on a concept that is guided by the three fundamentals of nature, culture and experience, Tres Rios' goal is unification: Mexico and Maya; past and present; traveler and nature; soul and body.

And the hope is that once construction is complete, the entire Tres Rios property will consist of five hotels (including Hacienda Tres Rios) with more than 1,700 units, some of which will be permanent residences.  In addition, the Master Plan (which may change as ecological patterns alter and further studies are completed) also calls for a marina, beach club, equestrian center, an expanded premium spa and convention center.
