If you have always wanted to party like Italian Royalty without the extravagant cost, now is your chance.

The Hotel Esencia in Mexico’s Riviera Maya is offering complimentary accommodations, free food, unlimited drinks and free spa treatments on August 24th, 2010. Have a day of  leisure at the seaside estate with celebratory events, live music and special Meso-American cuisine done in the taste and fashion only available to the exclusive Hotel Esencia.   That chosen date is the birthday of  Italian Duchess Rosa’s D’ Ferrari, who used to live at the hotel when it was her private estate. Instead of receiving gifts, the Duchess prefers to give gifts.  “I am very fortunate to have what I need to live a very happy life. Rather than receive presents for myself on my birthday, I like to give back to my guest and the community”.  5% of all revenue during her birthday week will be donated to a local orphanage foundation in Playa Del Carmen.

The Riviera Maya is one of Mexico’s best kept secrets. As one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in the area, Esencia features 50 acres of manicured grounds doted with private gardens, solariums and plunge pools. Located just south of Playa del Carmen on the way to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum, visitors can choose from a variety of unique activities such as snorkeling at Akumal’s famous Yak-Ku Lagoon, ride horses along the beach, fish for blue marlin or play golf on a PGA course.
