EL DORADO MAROMA, A BEACHFRONT RESORT, BY KARISMA, TO DEBUT PALAFITOS - OVERWATER BUNGALOWS, RESTAURANT AND SPA IN MEXICO'S PICTURESQUE RIVIERA MAYA IN SEPTEMBER 2016

MIAMI (March 4, 2016) - Karisma Hotels & Resorts, an award-winning luxury hotel collection which owns and manages properties in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe, is thrilled to announce Latin America's first and only Palafitos - Overwater Bungalows. Set to open at the award-winning, adults-only El Dorado Maroma, a Beachfront Resort, by Karisma, in September 2016, the Palafitos will be available for booking starting March 2016.

Currently under construction and surrounded by the bright turquoise waters of Riviera Maya's Maroma Beach - voted by Travel Channel as one of the top 10 beaches in the world - the first phase of 30 elegant suites will offer breathtaking ocean views, glass-bottom floors, direct ladder access to the ocean, outdoor "Aguas del Amor" showers, private infinity pools, indoor Jacuzzis, and oversized decks with lounge chairs that look out onto the ocean horizon.

A world-class overwater restaurant and tranquil spa will complete the exclusive experience. The Gourmet Inclusive® Over Water Ocean Grill & Wine Bar will feature an open kitchen with scenic views of the Caribbean Sea for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including menu creations inspired by the ocean and a glass floor private dining room that will make for unforgettable intimate events. Náay Spa Over the Ocean will comprise four spacious suites, delivering treatments based on traditional Mayan herbal practices and the richness of the region's marine life, most notably highlighting the benefits of "Maroma's Sea Moss." Uniquely found only in the Caribbean and rich with mineral salts, Maroma's Sea Moss boasts high antioxidant and detoxifying powers. Guests will have the option of indoor or private outdoor treatments during which they can relish in the serene azure ocean surroundings.

"El Dorado Maroma's Palafitos - Overwater Bungalows are the most exquisite and unique suites in the entire region, with the ocean and renowned Maroma Beach literally at your fingertips," said Armando Chomat, executive vice president of Premier Worldwide Marketing, the exclusive worldwide representatives for Karisma Hotels & Resorts.
