$555 Hotel Credit and More: Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya Celebrates 5 Diamond Status

The Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya recently snagged AAA Five Diamond status for the first time, and it's easy to see why. Set on 36 acres of tropical forest, sandy beaches, and lagoons on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the resort has an irresistible setting. Loll in one of the three pools or sunbathe on the beach where butlers will spoil you with cooling towels, iced drinks, and fresh fruit. At the spa-- a beautifully-designed facility with outdoor relaxation areas-- indulge in treatments inspired by the Mayan healing elements of water, air, fire and earth. Take off on excursions to explore the nearby nature reserves or see the ancient Mayan sites. And underwater explorers will have access to the second largest reef in the world-- teeming with marine life. In celebration of being one of only 113 hotels in North America and the Caribbean to be awarded the AAA Five Diamond Award, the hotel is offering an exciting package with five great benefits for guests staying five nights or more. Priced from $455 per night, the "Five Diamonds, Five Cheers" Package includes:

* Daily American Breakfast

* A one-time resort credit of USD 555 to be used in the restaurants, bar and spa

* A chilled bottle of champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries on arrival

* Special spa amenity gift
