Three circular buildings float above protected red mangrove, their shape a nod to the Pleiades, visible from this site every December. Forbes gives it Four Stars and notes a consulting biologist watching the jungle garden. The twenty-seat bar carries a mural of the sun's yearly stages by a Tulum artist, its Kanai Mary drawing on the ancient Mayan diet.
