Ixtapa(05 of13)
Hotel:Capella IxtapaWhat's to Love: No two adobe-inspired casitas are exactly alike, but all have a private terrace and suites have infinity pools. The private, palm-studded beach is gorgeous; white-linen table service comes to your palapa faster than you can request no salt on your margarita. Good to Know: For a taste of local culture, go to Mercado Municipal, a bazaar of fresh fruits, handmade huarache sandals, and amulets that attract lovers or ward off enemies.

Yelapa(06 of13)
Hotel:VeranaWhat's to Love: Beautiful, extremely undeveloped place. Enveloping, outstanding, but unobtrusively designed rustic-modern spaces. Good to Know: From Puerto Vallarta, take a taxi or bus to Baca de Tomatlan. One of the hotel's boats will ferry you to their dock, then it's just a short walk up a mountain to paradise. You won't want to leave, but the spa, fishing excursions, and day trips to the nearby island beaches are worth it. Be back in time for dinner -- especially if it's taco night.

Riviera Maya(07 of13)
Hotel: MaromaWhat's to Love: Beautiful, boutique hotel on Caribbean waters steps from the beach with the kindest, most personal staff. Paradise: a four-hour flight from NYC.

The spa is luxurious and has many couples treatments.Good to Know: All rooms are ocean/beach/pool facing with great views, but rooms on the second floor provide more privacy. On the first floor, you could walk from your patio to the pool, about five feet away. That might feel too close to other people.As Seen on Fathom: Una Mujer on Isla Mujeres (credit:Flickr:needoptic)
