We all love to travel, it doesn't matter if you take a car to get to a nearby destination or board a plane to change countries: the satisfaction of knowing something different, seeing new scenarios and having our palate discover different flavors is one of the best experiences one can live.

But awareness of our carbon footprint, pollution and garbage that we generate has been increasing (thankfully!). In the Riviera Maya there are many endemic fauna and flora that it is important to take care of as well as a beautiful coral reef, where the recommendation is to use biodegradable sunscreen and mosquito repellent to protect this destination.

Many hotels have been taking measures for years to reduce this negative impact, and we love that! Today in My Guide Mexico we will recommend five hotels that work for a better world:

1. Paradisus Playa del Carmen

From its conception to the design of the hotel, it seeks to respect the place where it is established. Last year they managed to use 70% renewable energy and at least 90% of their packaging is made from recycled material. On top of all that, this luxurious hotel has an amazing spa, 14 restaurants, and plenty of activities for families or adults.

2. TRS Yucatán Hotel

This hotel is exclusively for adults and we recommend it if you are looking for a romantic trip as a couple. They have suites with private terrace, shower, hammock and jacuzzi. Its restaurants are excellent; there is an infinity pool with an unbeatable view and if you are an animal lover: you will see iguanas, geckos, coatis and much more fauna very closely. They promote the consumption of local and biodegradable products, as well as employing the native people of the area.
Don't miss out on this incredible hotel!

3. Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa

The beach of this hotel will be more than enough reason to visit it: large size and with plenty of chairs, but if you are more demanding and a chair is not enough, how about a bed with pillows? This you will have here without problems. There is also a nice spa where you will find incredible services. Here visitors are invited to use their sheets and towels for more than one day to reduce water waste.

4. Excellence Riviera Cancun

Between Playa del Carmen and Cancun you will find this famous hotel exclusively for adults.
Any plastic item has been replaced by biodegradable materials like mixtures of cornstarch, avocado, and agave. They also maintain an alliance with the National Commission of Protected Natural Areas to protect the turtles that lay their eggs on their beaches. In addition, the hotel is beautiful: 6 pools, beautiful tropical gardens and fountains. The food is of the highest quality, all the spaces are sophisticated, elegant and super clean.
It's a classic for a reason!
