In a sea of large resorts, a new boutique all-inclusive is coming to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

The new La Casa de la Playa Resort, which will be set in the Xcaret eco-adventure community, is slated to make its debut this summer.

The property, the latest resort from the developers of Experiencias Xcaret Group, will have 63 suites, all with private plunge pools.

That will come with four eateries, two pools, a spa, a mezcaleria, a chocolate confenctionary shop, a wine cellar and a library, according to the company.

The vision is simple, the company says — to be “the best boutique hotel in Mexico.”

The first Xcaret Hotel opened at the end of December 2017, part of a wider 10-year plan for Destination Xcaret.

The Xcaret campus is set on 915 acres, with plans for an eventual total of 6,000 hotel rooms, along with a 12,000-seat stadium and an 800,000-square-foot convention center.

“The All-Fun Inclusive program will continue to develop as we add parks and tours to the Experiencias Xcaret offering, and we will maintain our position as the leading Mexican tourism group, the only company to offer sustainable tourism entertainment, creating a new destination within Mexico and celebrating our commitment to our country,” the company said in a statement.
