Star rating

The hotel

All-inclusive. All-suite. All adults. This is the all-time luxury escape in Mexico. Atelier actually means 'made for you' and this is certainly shown at this resort. Seamlessly sweeping into the sands of Playa Mujeres, and the curacao-blue waters which wash it, this sparkling hotel has upped the all-inclusive ante with its ATELIER Artist Service®, including extras like a pillow menu, daily re-stocked bar, pool concierge, and 24-hour in-suite dining. Showcasing the region’s art, culture, and natural beauty, it’s also been designed to provide the ultimate in indulgences, with semi-sunken sun loungers, four-poster daybeds, and a mix of Mexican and global gourmet menus in its complimentary dining venues (plus the exquisite creations of celebrity chef Edgar Nunez at María Dolores® if you fancy treating yourself).

Humberto was an amazing bartender. He took the time to explain the culture here, his favorite drinks and made our whole group variety of drinks and put his own spin on them. He was extremely friendly made our experience much better. It was his last day at Detalle.

An amazing 5 day stay at the resort in an Inspira Suite. We absolutely loved the service provided by everyone and can wholeheartedly recommend choosing the Inspira stay. While every member of the staff was great, we brought home extra special memories from our time with Miguel at the Inspira Beach Pool, Humberto at El Detalle Bar, the sommelier at Maria Dolores, and our butlers, Victor and Aline. We were genuinely sad when our time with them came to an end and we returned home. Read less

I travel frequently and visit Cancun at least once a year, along with other international destinations—so I know what quality customer service looks like. Unfortunately, my recent birthday trip to Atelier Playa Mujeres was marred by a disappointing transportation experience arranged through the hotel. While the resort itself was stunning, with excellent staff, food, and drinks, the transportation service was a letdown. I paid $250 for roundtrip airport transfers, assuming booking through the hotel would be more reliable and secure. Upon arrival, things went smoothly. I followed the instructions, checked in with the designated contact, and was eventually taken to the resort. However, the return trip was a different story. My scheduled pickup was at 12:00 PM. I brought my luggage to the lobby at 11:30 AM, where a doorman took it and advised me to head to the entrance 10 minutes before pickup. I did exactly that—but my ride never showed. When I asked the staff, they couldn’t confirm when (or if) the car was coming. Thankfully, my friend—who had booked with the same company for a 12:15 PM pickup—had a ride waiting, and I joined her to avoid missing my flight. I immediately emailed the transportation company to report the issue and received no response. When I followed up by phone, they said they’d respond via email. The email I received denied my refund, claiming I wasn’t present for the pickup—which is simply untrue. I called again and spoke with three different people, none of whom were willing to issue a refund for the missed service. Bottom line: If you're staying at Atelier Playa Mujeres, do not book transportation through the hotel. It was unreliable, and the company refused to take responsibility for their failure. This experience was frustrating enough that I won’t be returning to this property. There are plenty of other beautiful resorts in Playa Mujeres with great reviews—and I’ll be choosing one of those next time. The resort at Atelier Playa Mujeres is beautiful, with great staff, food, and drinks. However, the transportation service arranged through the hotel was a major disappointment. I paid $250 for roundtrip airport transfers. While the arrival went fine, my return ride never showed up. I had to catch a ride with a friend to avoid missing my flight. Despite reaching out immediately and following up, the company refused to refund me, falsely claiming I wasn’t there. Poor service and no accountability. I won’t be booking here again. Read less

I celebrated my 40th birthday at Atelier and stayed in the Inspira Ocean Front Suite—an experience that exceeded all expectations. With the suite came the incredible service of two butlers, Rodolfo and Armando, who truly made the trip unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond—setting up our suite to comfortably host over 30 friends with ice, drinks, snacks, and everything we needed to celebrate in style. They were always just a message away on WhatsApp, ready to assist with anything, anytime. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made all the difference. I genuinely wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate my milestone birthday any other way. If you're considering Atelier, I highly recommend upgrading to an Inspira Suite—not just for the luxury, but for the chance to experience the exceptional service of Rodolfo and Armando. They are truly the best. Read less
