I love quaint small hotels that have character. I've had the below hotel on my list to visit and haven't heard a bad review about it. The hotel use to be an estate and they sold it and made it into a hotel. Looks so intimate, relaxing and full of inspiration for someone like me!

Two doors down from the Governor’s Mansion and a world away from everything else, the Avalon Baccara Cancun is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Intimate, exclusive and totally private, this beachfront, boutique resort is truly Cancun at its finest.

These urns are the back of a fountain in the pool.

Perfect!

Love the palm trees. Aren't these vibrant colors fabulous? So cheery and fun!

Beautiful mosaic tile work in the pool. I wonder if I could make a stucco platform for my chairs around my pool. I can smell the tropical sun tan oil already. Can somebody please bring me a rolled up fresh crisp white towel to my cabana while I sit sunbathing by my pool? I love hotel towels.

Look how close you are to the beach. A hop, skip and a jump! I don't think this is just the photography?

Brunch calling my name here, Ruthie....Ruthie..... Love the bamboo ceiling detail. The detailed arch window adds great architectural interest looking out to the white sand.

That view!!! Imagine it at night! Not too crazy about the sunflowers but I can overlook that for the view. Maybe they put a white table cloth on at night?

How romantic to be RIGHT on the beach! Looks like a great place to relax and get away from the world. When I go on vacation, I want my design magazines, a good book, my ipod and the sound of the beach to take me away!

Look at the color of that water!!!

There is that "ice blue" I keep referring to.

Pina Colada please cabana boy!

Awesome stucco walls again with more of the bamboo ceiling. Love all beautiful tiled rounded archways too. Large terra cotta pots for all the palm trees "indoors". Plants make everything come alive, especially indoors. The brick floor is stunning too. Easy maintenance for a hotel.
