Do as the Mayan Do and head south of the border, where award-winning Ceiba del Mar Beach & Spa Resort, a luxurious boutique property that occupies a half-mile of a private, white-sand beach at the edge of sleepy Puerto Morelos, indulges visitors with the finest in amenities, accommodations, and aesthetics, while providing them with an ideally positioned gateway into pre-Hispanic Mexico.
Mayan inspired in its character and appointments, intimate Ceiba del Mar is situated in the heart of the Riviera Maya, located on the sunny shores of the Yucatan Peninsula, which is known for its jewel-toned seas and lush tropics. From this coveted address guests of the resort enjoy the ultimate proximity to the best of ancient Mesoamerican culture, in addition to first-rate hospitality, luxury accommodation, comprehensive amenities, and venues for indulgence that include the wellness aromatherapy Spa at Ceiba del Mar and two fine dining restaurants. Combined these attributes rejuvenate and inspire guests to discover and experience the region’s cultural influences, which include:
Crossing the jungle: Zip-line high above tropical rainforest, where Maya societies built a great civilization that flourished for centuries. The resort’s Adventure Discovery Experience offers thrill-seekers a one-day zip-lining expedition and two relaxing massages with 10% off additional spa treatments (other adventures also available). Rates start at $733 per special, per couple for a 4-day/3-night reservation.
Discover a Maya city: Tour archeological ruins of walled Maya cities that made up a mighty Mesoamerican power. The resort’s Mayan Heritage Experience includes a full day of expeditions to the ruins of either Tulum or Chichen Itza, group transportation, snacks and beverages; entrance fees to archeological zones; bilingual guide service, and two Foot Reflexology Treatments with 10% off all additional spa treatments. Rates start at $685 per special, per couple for a 4-day/3-night reservation.
Go treasure hunting: The Maya used jade, feathers, and shells to make elaborate ceremonial adornments worn in rituals and warfare. Catch a cab to neighboring Playa del Carmen, where small shops offer unique curios, such as decorative Mexican ceramics with Mesoamerican motifs, shell jewelry, and Mayan chocolate.
Hold court with warriors: Those who book an Xcaret Plus Experience through the resort will receive admission for two of the Xcaret cultural theme park; private round-trip transportation; one buffet meal with two lemonades; beverage/food coupons; snorkeling equipment and use of locker room facilities; 10% off both aquatic activities and entrance to “Xcaret Mexico Espectacular,” a show-stopper that includes a simulation of a ritual Maya Ball Game, which in ancient times was often played to the death. Rates start at $622 per special, per couple for a 4-day/3-night reservation.
Indulge indigenously: Inspired by ancient Mayan custom, the resort’s Temazcal Ceremony, a spa purification treatment, takes place at sunset inside terra-cotta sweat lodge on the beach. Led by a spiritual healer, it begins with a seaside chant, an ancestral sounding of a conch shell, and an offering of flowers to the four corners of the earth; it concludes with the reading of hot volcanic stones and an infusion of steam-inducing aromatic herbs that help detoxify and purify the mind, body and spirit. The Top‘Nikte Massage and Mayan Goddess Scrub are relaxing spa counterparts to this modern-day version of an ancient Maya cleansing rite.

Spring into action April 14-18, 2010, at luxurious Ceiba del Mar Beach & Spa Resort, where fitness trailblazer Greta Blackburn, the founding editor of Ms. Fitness Magazine, co-author of the new book “Get the Inside Track,” originator of the “bootcamp” exercise concept and a favored and frequent fitness expert of numerous high-profile media outlets, will introduce cutting-edge products, fat-blasting protocols and groundbreaking scientific insight on anti-aging at FITCAMP Cancun—a comprehensive, supercharged health and fitness experience focused on improving quality of life at all levels, restoring depleted energy reserves and turning back the hands of Father Time.
FitCampers will be both physically and mentally challenged by a powerhouse exercise circuit designed, sequenced and taught by Blackburn to refocus the mind and retool the body for maximum fat-burning and muscle-building, while fitness trainers will glean advanced techniques and secrets to help sharpen their competitive edge. Daily exercise regimens will include Hell Hikes; an authentic bootcamp-inspired Obstacle Course, Sprint 8 interval training taught by its inventor, hardcore abs training, and Vinyasa yoga classes for both tested and new mat practitioners.
Physical offerings will complement FITCAMP Cancun’s revolutionary “Nuke Aging” program, featuring an all-star line-up of leading health experts recognized for their contributions to the field of anti-aging medicine. Dave Woynarowski, M.D., a top anti-aging expert, competitive ultra-runner and supplements expert will be joined by special guest lecturer, Dr. Joe Mercola, an osteopathic physician and New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on The Today Show, FOX News, and ABC News, and was named the 2009 Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by The Huffington Post; as well as top Masters Athletic Performance Coach Phil Campbell, author of “Ready Set Go Fitness.” Together with Blackburn, who spent four years in the trenches of cutting-edge anti-aging medicine, digging deep into the inner workings of the body alongside leading stem cell researchers and telomerase biology pioneers while also attending related conferences worldwide, this group of visionaries will declassify the secrets behind the science to help FitCampers change their physiology at a cellular level. The secrets include:
* Five secret superfoods that will literally drop decades from the body’s physiology.
* Easy ways to kickstart a sluggish metabolism to transform the body into a muscle-ripping, fat-obliterating machine!
* A startling fact about 99% of dietary supplements concealed by “Big Pharma” that could add years to the body’s cells.
* How to craft a personalized diet, exercise and life-extension regimen—and the importance of doing it on your own.
* Straight-talk about the good, bad, and ugly realities in the ongoing “cardio vs. resistance training” debate.
Calm Caribbean seas, a silky white-sand beach and a verdant landscape of breezy palms, exotic greenery and tropical botanicals surround aesthetically-pleasing Ceiba del Mar Beach & Spa Resort.

Ceiba Del Mar: Families Bond in 2010 with Ten Exciting Activities
That once dreaded whine from the backseat — How much longer until we get there? — is now an eager query of anticipation that adults long to hear. Parents reluctant to take their brood on a world-class destination vacation will change their minds upon discovering Ceiba del Mar Beach & Spa Resort, a boutique, service-first property located on the shore of a private white-sand beach, where escape comes in many forms and adventure is all relative.
Calming Caribbean waters the colors of turquoise and teal, silky white-sand beaches with sun-sheltering palapas and friendly seabirds, and a verdant landscape of breezy palms, exotic greenery and tropical botanicals surround aesthetically-pleasing and amenity-rich Ceiba del Mar. With never a shortage of ocean air to breathe, beauty to behold and recreation to enjoy, this charming resort is ideal for every member of the vacationing family—outdoorsy Dad, spa-loving Mom, and active kids. So get on your mark and set out for fun in the sun Mexico-style at Ceiba del Mar. The following activities and deals are the top ten reasons to visit the family-friendly resort.
• Discounted rates. Ceiba del Mar’s Internet-only Best Available Room rates offer visitors 20%-50% savings on a limited number of accommodations for 2010. All-inclusive rates under the Luxury Gourmet Plan start from $240 in non-peak season, plus 14% taxes and a 5% service charge based on double occupancy, and include all a-al-carte meals and top brand beverages. Certain restrictions apply. Not valid for group reservations (weddings or meetings), or combinable with other promotions.
• Indulgent time-outs. The Spa at Ceiba del Mar, an oasis of indigenous calm, uses Mayan-inspired wisdom and advanced spa practices to nourish the mind, body, and spirit. A holistic treatment menu; several humid areas; a fitness facility; high-platform meditation palapas; six spacious treatment rooms and a couple’s suite with private lounge and Jacuzzi terrace, compose the wellness facility.
• Celebrate a milestone. With both indoor and outdoor event facilities—customizable ballrooms, spacious terraces and lounges, and half-mile of private beach—Ceiba del Mar sets a storybook backdrop for family celebrations, such as vow renewals and anniversaries with kids present. Events are professionally coordinated through the resort.
• Be beach bums. Ceiba del Mar's private, immaculately-kept shoreline offers pristine sand in which to tunnel your toes, build sandcastles and walk side-by-side at sunset with loved ones in tow. A calm, lagoon-like sea is ideal for swimming.
• Discover the life aquatic. Why wrestle with scuba gear when (in five minutes) you can strap a pair of flippers and a face mask to your little ones for an underwater snorkeling adventure? Or, hop in a sea kayak and enjoy an easy paddle that won’t capsize the boat—or the kids. Land and sea sports equipment is complimentary.
• Do as the Mayans do. Exploring the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum, both of which are in proximity to the resort, provide families a fun way to experience history without a lecture from Mom and Dad. Excursions can be arranged by Ceiba del Mar.

• Tour Puerto Morales by bike. Ceiba del Mar offers complimentary bicycles for afternoon detours into nearby Puerto Morales. The town’s local Handicraft Market stocks artisan crafts, shells, textiles, stone carvings and souvenirs.
• Start a family tradition: A variety of other special packages are offered throughout the year, making it easy for families to return to the hideaway resort year after year.
Accommodations at Ceiba del Mar include 88 deluxe Ocean-View suites, seven of which are penthouses, with a balcony or terrace and hammock; expansive sitting areas; a full bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub; Organic Bath products; local wood accents, and handcrafted furnishings.

• Discover the life aquatic. Why wrestle with scuba gear when (in five minutes) you can strap a pair of flippers and a face mask to your little ones for an underwater snorkeling adventure? Or, hop in a sea kayak and enjoy an easy paddle that won’t capsize the boat—or the kids. Land and sea sports equipment is complimentary.
• Do as the Mayans do. Exploring the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum, both of which are in proximity to the resort, provide families a fun way to experience history without a lecture from Mom and Dad. Excursions can be arranged by Ceiba del Mar.
• Explore Rio Secreto. Near to Ceiba del Mar are several geographic playgrounds, including Rio Secreto, a newly discovered cave and underground river. High-energy Jungle Crossings and Zip-lining are also popular activities for families and can be arranged through the resort.
• Experience Xcaret. This cultural theme park offers water rides, artisan shops, exhibits, and the show-stopping “Xcaret Mexico Espectacular.”
• Tour Puerto Morales by bike. Ceiba del Mar offers complimentary bicycles for afternoon detours into nearby Puerto Morales. The town’s local Handicraft Market stocks artisan crafts, shells, textiles, stone carvings and souvenirs.
• Start a family tradition: A variety of other special packages are offered throughout the year, making it easy for families to return to the hideaway resort year after year.
Accommodations at Ceiba del Mar include 88 deluxe Ocean-View suites, seven of which are penthouses, with a balcony or terrace and hammock; expansive sitting areas; a full bathroom with a shower and separate bathtub; Organic Bath products; local wood accents, and handcrafted furnishings. Cotton sheets with a 300-thread and pillow menu, and complimentary in-room morning coffee and nightly turndown services provide additional ambience.

CEIBA DEL MAR A CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER 2010 GOLD LIST HONOREE, TOPS TWO CATEGORIES WITH PERFECT SCORES
The readers of Condé Nast Traveler have named Ceiba del Mar Beach and Spa Resort—a seaside boutique property in Puerto Morales, Mexico—the gold standard of Riviera Maya luxury properties. With this recognition, Ceiba del Mar solidifies its standing as the benchmark in high-end hospitality and continues to build its reputation as a preferred destination south of the border, by being the only resort among the magazine’s Gold List honorees for Mexico twice-honored with perfect scores of 100 in the Best Rooms and Best Service categories.
Ceiba del Mar’s coveted inclusion onto Condé Nast Traveler’s 16th annual list, which is compiled from the votes of the magazine’s well-traveled readers, stems from the resort’s service-first philosophy. “We are again honored to be part of Condé Nast Traveler’s 2010 Gold List, as we take pride in and are committed to providing our guests with the highest quality experience,” says Eduardo Herrera, director of operations for Ceiba del Mar, which hugs a sugary, white-sand beach at the edge of the sleepy fishing village, just 20 minutes removed—but worlds away—from the Cancun airport.
This unrivaled guest “experience” begins with a refreshing cocktail upon arrival and a personalized check-in process, and then continues with attentive but unobtrusive service throughout the length of the reservation. Calm Caribbean waters and a lush natural landscape surround peaceful Ceiba del Mar, while Mexican architecture and artisan interiors complement the property’s Mayan-inspired character.
Guests of Ceiba del Mar enjoy exclusive access to the holistic and aromatherapy Spa at Ceiba del Mar, including the facility’s fully-equipped fitness room; plunge pools and humid areas; meditation palapas; a terra-cotta sweat lodge, and daily yoga and Pilates classes. Complimentary use of land and sea sports equipment—sea kayaks, bicycles, and snorkeling gear—is also provided, and fine dining is served at two on-site restaurants. A small library stocked with books and a computer with Internet service round out the resort’s comprehensive amenity package.
Each of Ceiba del Mar’s 88 deluxe ocean-view accommodations, seven of which are high-end penthouses with butler service, is equipped with the following upscale comforts:
• Private balcony or terrace with hammock and breathtaking views;
• Complimentary wireless access;
• 24-hour room service;
