"Buy One, Get One Free" offers usually refer to things like magazine subscriptions and ice cream sundaes. In the case of Mexico's Rosewood Mayakobá resort the promotion is a "Buy Two Nights, Get the Third Free" deal at a hotel we once described as "a dash of Venice" with "a bit of Disney's Jungle Cruise, a shot of the Hobbit's Shire, and a touch of Tatooine mixed in for good measure."

Included in the offer, which is valid through December 15th and requires you to stay two-consecutive nights to get that third freebie, is daily breakfast. That early morning "extra" doesn't seem like much of a bonus, though, considering that ye old Continental Breakfast is standard fare at many hotels.

That said, it doesn't seem like Rosewood Mayakobá is in the business of skimping on luxury or cutting corners. Its TripAdvisor rating is a solid four-and-a-half stars, with one reviewer mournfully relating that she "cried like a baby" when she had to leave. We chalk this up to activities like tequila tastings, snorkeling, or amenities including 24-hour butler service.

The property is massive, with other on-site activities including golf, horseback riding, yoga, and a Children's Activity Club to keep the younger set busy. The phrase "Children's Activity Club" should alert single travelers to the fact that the resort is family-friendly. Depending on the kind of getaway you're seeking and your tolerance level for possibly unruly children, this is a fact you'll want to take into account before booking.

Dissenting TripAdvisor users, of which there are few, cite the high nightly rate (which loom in the $800 range) and high concentration of families as two drawbacks. Maybe these gripes would disappear with a taste of the tequila (also delivered to your room upon arrival, by the way) we just mentioned?
