There’s something special about a “wide” hotel room – one that has its longest side facing the exterior – especially when it has a wonderful ocean view. Wide rooms always seem to have extra space for lounging, bigger vistas, and they can usually accommodate a king bed directly facing the view. The Ocean Suites at Nizuc Resort have all these features and more. Since they’re located in the adult only section of the property, they are a great choice for honeymooners.

These huge suites are located in four buildings in the central part of the property, mostly on the second and third floors, with elevator access. They lie within easy reach of several of the property’s restaurants and bars, and the main beach.

Behind the sleeping area is the extensive bathroom and dressing area. A sliding mirrored screen allows views of the blue sky and ocean from the tub, and there’s a separate shower and toilet. A double vanity unit offers plenty of space for toiletries, and there’s ample closet space too. Everything you need is here; a full length mirror, scales, hairdryer, even a sofa to lounge on after a relaxing bath.

Each suite has a large balcony or terrace that’s furnished with a sofa and chairs. Some of those on the second floor of the main building have a deeper balcony that has space for a couple of sun loungers too, whilst those on the third floor have prime, elevated sea views. Each one of the suites in this category is a delight.

The Garden Pool Villas are single story accommodations with walled gardens located in the main section of the hotel, close to the spa. These are some of the most private of all the suites at Nizuc Resort, and hence are perfect for honeymooners. Each one has walled courtyard with a dipping pool, outdoor shower, and terrace with sun loungers.

The Garden Pool Pavilion Villas have an additional outdoor sala that is covered by a roof and features additional space for lounging al fresco. The Pavilion is connected to the villa by a lockable door, and has lighting and a ceiling fan. These accommodations generally have bigger outdoor areas, though the dipping pools are around the same size in both categories.

It’s worth upgrading to the Pavilion villas for a special occasion as they feel very spacious, and have some romantic touches (for example, the bathtub is positioned in a room between the bedroom and pavilion, with doors that can be opened up to the courtyard).

In the Garden Pool Villa, the king size bed faces sliding glazed doors that can be opened up to face the courtyard and pool, so that the pool is only a few steps from your bed. The bedroom area is especially roomy, and can accommodate an extra bed or two for children, on request. The adjacent bathroom features a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower and double vanity.

The Villas with a Pavilion have a different interior, with a comfortable seating alcove next to the bed. The bathroom includes a walk in shower and spacious vanity area, with the tub located in a separate area near to the pavilion. Both categories feature outdoor showers in a private walled area adjacent to the bathroom.

Garden and Ocean Deluxe, Junior Suites, Master and Penthouse suites are all located in the Residence section of Nizuc Resort. The accommodations are arranged over four buildings, each of six stories, that overlook the mangroves and the Caribbean. Shuttle services by golf cart transport guests between the Residence section and the lobby, though it’s also possible to walk between the two areas.

The Garden Deluxe suite has high ceilings, a city-chic decor and all the luxurious Nizuc amenities, including a Nespresso coffee maker and flat panel TV screens in both the bedroom and the bathroom. The terrace is big enough to accommodate two sun loungers, and has views of the mangroves and shrubbery. The glazed doors can be opened wide to allow the sea breezes into the room when air-conditioning is not required, and there’s a seating area by the window where guests can enjoy the views from inside.

The bathroom features a deep soaking tub and a vanity area with two basins and plenty of space to unpack your toiletries. All the rooms at Nizuc have ample closet space and full length mirrors for the ideal dressing area.

The Double rooms have two queen size beds and are slightly larger than the king rooms. They are plenty big enough for a family with small children to share.

The Deluxe Ocean view suites are similar to the Garden suites but are located on the upper levels of the Residence buildings. They enjoy far reaching views over the Caribbean and have balconies with outdoor seating from which to enjoy the vista.

These suites can have either one king or two queen beds, with the queen rooms being slightly larger. They feature the glamorous Nizuc bathroom, with a deep soaking tub and roomy dressing and vanity area.

From the Residence suites, guests can walk (or take the shuttle) to the Terra Nostra restaurant and swimming pool, or head to the main section of the property to the huge main pool, the adults only pool and the five other restaurants.

These fabulous suites offer lots of extra treats, including a large terrace and an inviting plunge pool. They are delightfully spacious and wide rooms, with a king bed that faces towards the terrace. The front of the room can be opened up, allowing direct access to the outdoor space. Waist high glass walls surround the exterior.

The Garden View Junior Suites are on the lower floors and overlook the mangroves. They have the same plunge pool and terrace furnished with lounge chairs, and we found the views to be peaceful and relaxing.

The Junior Suites include a comfortable sofa as well as seating area by the window. The spacious bathroom and dressing area (bigger than the ones in the Deluxe suites) is behind the bedroom and can be closed off with sliding doors or left open.

Breathtaking views await guests at Nizuc Resort’s fabulous Master Suite. A sky high infinity lap pool takes center stage, occupying the full width of the suite. Cocktails at sunset will never be more memorable than those enjoyed poolside on the terrace. Inside is a comfortable living room, with ample dining and lounging space for a family. The Master Suite has one bedroom, but can connect with an Ocean View suite that has two queen beds.

Celebrating a special occasion, or planning on entertaining friends during your visit? This is one of the most impressive yet comfortable suites we’ve found. Close the sliding doors and turn up the air-conditioning on a sultry afternoon, or leave them wide open on a balmy evening or fresh morning. You’ll find many ways to enjoy the opulence of the living space and large deck in this suite.

Behind the living room lie the bedroom and bathroom, and they are just perfect for a couple. The bathroom has a free standing tub set by a sliding screen, so that you have the choice of an ocean view or total privacy in the tub.

The bedroom is cozy, and lies adjacent to the bathroom with sliding doors connecting the two rooms. There’s a second flat screen TV here, perfectly positioned for bedtime viewing.

The swimming pool is backed by a glass wall for extra security, but the magical views are unobstructed. What’s more, the pool and its terrace are very private.

Nizuc Resort’s Penthouses are heaven made for sun worshippers. Their huge terraces offer both sun and shade, plenty of sea breezes, and a refreshing plunge pool to cool off in.

The terrace is like an extra sitting room, with a comfortable sofa and even dining furniture. Since these suite are positioned on the top floor of the Residence buildings, the views are spectacular.

Both the bedroom and the bathroom open out onto the terrace, and there’s an additional ocean front balcony to the front of the room. The bathroom features a deep soaking tub and a rain shower, and there’s a gorgeous outdoor moon shower in a walled section of the terrace just outside the bathroom.

We recommend this suite for couples who want plenty of privacy and maybe even a little space from each other. As well as the indoor and outdoor living space, two sofas and two tables that can be used for working (one inside, one outside), the bathroom in this suite has more separation from the sleeping area than in many of the other suites.
