AZUL BEACH HOTEL REVIEW...
The Azul Beach Hotel by Karisma is Mexico's premier boutique, all inclusive resort dedicated to families. The Azul Beach philosophy is all about quality family togetherness time. It offers a lush garden setting set on a beautiful, white sand beach with gentle bright, blue waves. Vacationkids staff was taken on a tour by general manager Noe Landa so that we could highlight some of the very unique features of this distinctive property.

The old saying is "good things come in small packages" and that is very true when it comes to Azul Beach Hotel. This is a small, boutique style, all inclusive resort of only 98 rooms offering families a very intimate and personal atmosphere.
This is a small resort that is BIG on service. Understated luxury would be the best words to describe the vibe here.
And speaking of small packages, this resort really caters to young families with infants and toddlers.

The 98 guest rooms of the Azul Beach Resort hug the shore so just about every room offers ocean views amidst the lush garden palms. Every room is just steps away from the beautiful Bahia Petempich beach as well as all resort amenities. The contemporary two story architecture tastefully reflects the charm of old Mexico. Upper rooms offer better ocean views but bear in mind there are no elevators in the guest buildings here.

The Azul Beach Hotel offers plenty of fun activities for the grown ups too. Everything from Yoga, three pools, swim up bar, Water aerobics, games, sports, nearby golf, Spanish and Mayan classes, cooking classes, catamaran, boogie board and boat rides to snorkeling just off shore from the resort. The Azul Beach Hotel and entertainment staff want to involve guests with activities that parents and kids alike can enjoy, promoting family vacation together time.
And speaking of the beach, the snorkeling reef just a boat ride off shore (fee) provides a break in the surf making it a perfect beach for little swimmers. The waves here are gentle. The beach and swimming areas offer soft sand making it easy on the feet. The beaches in this area of the Riviera Maya tend to have lots of sea grass. The swimming area is clear of grass at the Azul Beach Hotel but due to the surrounding area, you will find sea grass in the water and along the shore which is raked frequently by resort staff.
Bear in mind that sea grass means the ecology of this area is healthy. It also provides
homes and food to the scores of tropical fish you'll see swimming with you.
One feature our families really love here are the king size beach bed cabanas at the Azul Beach Resort. There is plenty of room for Mom, Dad and the kids to camp out in the shade and pretend they are like Robinson Crusoe. If you want to work on your tan, no worries, there are plenty of sunny spots too. Please know there is no waking up at 5am to try to claim one of these beach beds. At the Azul Beach Hotel you have beach butlers that will gladly reserve a Cabana for your family, prepare it with fresh towels, snacks, toys for the kids and even order you a family picnic to share for lunch.
