![]() ![]() The pool bar is located between the second and third pools. The pool farthest in is the smallest, but also the most lively this is where all the daytime activities and games take place and where a younger crowd tends to hang out. Next door, surrounded by shady garden, the second pool (which also has a non-heated jetted tub) has loungers, shaded cabanas, and not much of a vibe. Most people here are silently swimming or reading in the sun. This pool has the most sun, fewest loungers, and quietest vibe. Sian Ka'an's three pools are laid out in succession starting with a relaxing pool just outside of Alux restaurant. ![]() Here, beach-goers can indulge in drinks from the beach bar or take advantage of the water activities (one hour of non-motorized water sports is included per day of the stay). But the resort has a free shuttle that leaves every five minutes and heads to an exclusive stretch of beach roped off for Sian Ka'an guests. While the beaches are a major reason to come to the Mayan Riviera, only two of the resorts within the Bahia Principe's complex have direct access to the sand - and unfortunately, Sian Kaan is not one of them. The ground-level Deluxe Garden Junior Suites also have the terraces with hot tubs, though they don't feel quite as private. Standout features include the large rooftop terrace of the Deluxe Penthouse Junior Suites where guests have a personal hot tub, loungers, and table and chairs. There are walk-in showers, but no tubs, surprising for this level of luxury. In-wall hairdryers feel a bit tacky for this level of luxury, but the makeup mirrors are a nice touch, even if the lighting is dim. Comprehensive toiletry kits have Bahia brand products and kits from combs to shoe shiners. Bathrooms feel a bit small and are decorated in a simple, upscale fashion with tile floors, dark wood furnishings, and bowl sinks. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, iPod docking clocks, butler service, 24-hour room service, and pillow and aroma menus. ![]() All rooms have large-tile floors a dual set of large windows (one opens to a small private balcony or terrace) upscale furniture made of wicker, leather, wood, and high-end fabrics and contemporary nature-themed artwork on the walls. Sian Ka'an's 420 suites are luxe, modern, and have a rustic-chic style - although some of the standard Junior Suites are not as bright and do not feel as fresh as rooms in the other categories. Overall, the vibe of Sian Ka'an feels much more like a boutique than a property with over 400 rooms. This is an adult-only resort, but that doesn't mean you can't respectfully act like a kid, especially around the activity pool. Rooms have an apartment vibe and are slightly hidden behind the verdant garden grounds and split into small buildings. Most of the social spots are concentrated around the resort's entrance, though there are a few eating and drinking spots around the the central pools area. Bars and restaurants here are small save the main buffet and large terrace patio just off the lobby. It's a Luxury level Bahia property, and guests are greeted in the lobby with a large fountain, marble floors, plates of finger foods and fresh fruit, and an overall feeling of brightness and calm. Named after a Mayan term that refers to the origins of the heavens, Sian Ka'an is the smallest and most relaxing resort within the complex. Sian Ka'anis the farthest resort from the main entrance, and is reached after following a winding road with a few turns and roundabouts. One large, gated entrance services all four resorts located inside the gigantic Bahia Principe complex, and the property is colorfully marked from the road by a bright yellow, pink, blue, and green building - the Hacienda Dona Isabel. ![]()
