General information:Named for the sugar cane grown in its home state of Veracruz, the Azucar was conceived by hotelier Carlos Couturier, founder of some of Mexico’s hippest resort properties. For the Acuzar he decided on an almost anti-design back-to-basics theme that finds its expression in an airy, breezy feeling. The hotel’s 20 low-slung bungalows, all in an intense white-on-white colour scheme, inspire visions of loose cotton clothing, sandals and the easiest of schedules.It’s a simple recipe for luxury, but it works wonders on world-weary souls.Location:Azucar is by the beach at Monte Gordo, VeraCruz.Area:Although Azucar is off the beaten path and requires a bit more effort to discover, the Emerald Coast region is worth the trip. Mostly undiscovered, this area boasts small fishing villages, fascinating archeological zones and breathtaking scenery. Be the first to experience the undiscovered! Recreation:Bungalows feature thatched roofs and private terraces overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, each with its own locally made hammock for naps or reading sessions cooled by the sea breeze. Public spaces are mainly open-air, including the library with wicker seating and a thatched ceiling as well as a pool and a spa area with a yoga space and a full range of spa offerings. Rooms:Flat panel TV, in-room movie selection, 100% cotton sheets, air conditioner, light dimmers in bedroom and restrooms.**Please note this is an adults only resort.**
