Without asking the girls, I booked it\u2014and from that moment onward, we couldn\u2019t stop talking about it. We\u2019re three straight, single women\u2014will that matter? In short: Nope. Since booking requires pairs, we were given two rooms and our topless trio definitely raised some questions. Once we explained our purpose, everyone was welcoming and kind to us. We attended a male striptease, an aerobatic revue and even a foam party. Jess and I decided to go all in and wear only our birthday suits, an experience that was liberating and empowering. Liz showed off her pole dancing skills, earning an applause from the crowd. It goes without saying that copious amounts of alcohol were needed to make us feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pro<\/b>: It isn\u2019t for everyone, but the permission to let it all hang out\u2014literally\u2014offers a lesson on beauty and sexuality. For me, riding naked on an inflatable unicorn while foam splashes on me and strangers cheer me on is a memory I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<p><b>Con<\/b>: For a resort dedicated to encouraging others to explore their fantasies, we found the rooms to be outdated and not exactly sexy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Top nosh<\/b>: We were big fans of tapas-style Unik; in general, we found the food here better than at most all-inclusives.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_73757\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73757\" class=\"wp-image-73757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba.jpg\" alt=\"Fairmont Mayakoba\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Fairmont-Mayakoba-511x340.jpg 511w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-73757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Fairmont Mayakoba<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Solidaridad-Hotels-Fairmont-Mayakoba.h1273486.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Fairmont Mayakoba<\/b><\/a><b>: Playa del Carmen <\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As a journalist, I really try to stay objective, but I have to give credit where it\u2019s due: Fairmont Mayakoba was the one I liked best. From having avocado toast and chilled white wine at restaurant Breezes to waking up and having coffee on our dock overlooking the nature reserve of Mayakoba, this all-inclusive had me feeling right at home each night. Though our suite did have a private pool, roof deck and two rooms, what stood out the most was the staff. Fairmont Mayakoba offers a private butler for their guests and ours, Jorge, paid attention to every detail\u2014complete with jokes, too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pro<\/b>: We attended a tequila-filled cooking class at Mayakoba\u2019s cooking school, El Pueblito.

It not only includes its own main area, but connects to two other resorts, which equals numerous restaurants, pools and bars. The Grand Moon can sleep thousands, and definitely has a cruise-like vibe. We spent an afternoon hiding in our room until we were brave enough to venture out. Once we did though, we shared plenty of giggles floating through the lazy river and going down their three water slides. We finished a day of pool hopping, smoking hookah and reminiscing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pro<\/b>: For kids or big weddings, Grand Moon is a smart choice. The rooms are affordable and there are plenty of happenings to keep everyone entertained and happy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Con<\/b>: It\u2019s definitely overwhelming.

Since we were part of the Royal Level arm of the resort, we could dine at their private restaurant, which was a step up from the buffet offered to other guests. Because of its location, guests often book a day pass to Xcaret Park, where you can come face to face with flamingos, fish, dolphins and other wildlife. The park didn\u2019t disappoint\u2014even if we had some mishaps getting there.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pro<\/b>: Xcaret Park has an underground river that takes you through caves, and is worth the cost. The hotel, meanwhile, has a beautiful, sandy, seaweed-free beach surrounded by a cliff\u2014a rarity in Cancun. The adults-only saltwater pool is gorgeous, too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Con<\/b>: There\u2019s a big difference from the Royal level and the basic bookings\u2014from food to room size and more.
