The hotly-anticipated Andaz Mayakoba resort has officially opened its doors on the Riviera Maya.

Hyatt Hotels Corporration’s newest property in the Mexican Caribbean is part of the eco-luxe destination of Mayakoba, and is immediately one of the region’s most stylish new properties.

The hotel, which is the first Andaz-branded property in Mexico, has 214 open-layout rooms and suites overlooking either lagoons, mangrove and resort gardens or the coast.

There are four restaurant concepts, led by the signature Casa Amate Latin American eatery.

Naturally, there’s a spa, with the Naum Spa housed in 10,000 square feet of space with “airy” treatment cabins that are “open to their surroundings,” according to the hotel.
