Resort Information
Families are provided with a variety of wholesome activities. Adjacent to a children's pool, an activities center provides an endless supply of board games; lends out balls for use on the beach; organizes Ping-Pong tournaments, pool volleyball, and water polo; and selects music for the pool area according to guests' requests and mood. For children ages five to twelve (additional cost for ages 4 months - 4 years), a Mini Club provides various activities and includes video games.
Folk paintings of Mayan scenes, stained-glass ceiling insets in front of the reception desk, and classical background music create a gracious ambience in the airy lobby of the 450-room, 11-story hotel whose outer wings are shaped like Mayan pyramids. The lobby area includes a small business center with Internet access, a jewelry store, and a clothing boutique. A beauty shop offers massage in addition to hair and nail care. In keeping with the hotel's family atmosphere, hospitality is friendly and helpful. Like all major Cancun hotels, the Melia Turquesa is equipped with a water-purification system.
Contained within the U-shape formed by the hotel's three wings is a large, free-form pool and a sundeck furnished with lounge chairs. The sundeck extends along a terrace above the beach, which features thatched-roof palapas for shade. The pool includes a swim-up bar and a sunning island reachable by a bridge.
Located only 10 minutes from the hotel by taxi is the Pok-ta-Pok Club de Golf, an 18-hole course that is beautifully situated between the Caribbean Sea and Nichupte Lagoon and designed by renowned golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones Jr.
