Palafitos, stilt houses rising above the waves. A romantic getaway in Mexico.
Sleep in a glass-floored cabin floating above the waves and watch the ocean under your feet.
Punta Maroma, in Quintana Roo, welcomes you with calm, turquoise blue water. Soak up the chance to watch the waves ripple under your feet, while you lounge in the plush bungalows.
Palafitos is the name of these stilt structures, small houses or bungalows standing above the waves on tall piles. They usually hover over the peaceful waters, such as lakes. In this case, it is the ocean in Quintana Roo.
