The Interior and Your Room:
The interior of St. Regis Kanai is wholeheartedly peaceful and tranquil, reflecting the absolute serenity of its exterior and setting. With a colour scheme of harmonious blues that are reminiscent of the Mexican Caribbean ocean, tasteful wooden features in the rooms that add warmth and character, and finished with marble fittings in the bathroom to add an extra splash of luxury (pardon the pun), the attention to detail this resort has paid to its design really is incredible.
Treat yourself this vacation and book a suite and you’ll even have the luxury of your very own whirlpool on your patio! And if you opt for the John Jacob Astor suite, the St Regis suite, the Vincent Astor studio or one of the Grand Luxe guest rooms, you’ll even have access to your own plunge-pool. Or if the sound of an outdoor bathtub sounds appealing then make sure to go for the Riviera Luxe guest room! Soak in the suds and look out over beautiful views of the Mexican Caribbean ocean and the luscious mangroves beneath you…
