Sprawling along 50 awe-inspiring acres of the glittering Riviera Maya, the private seaside refuge of Esencia indulges guests with the luxury of a relaxing beachfront-villa vacation. Once owned by an Italian duchess and used as a winter refuge from the cold international slickness of modern hotels, Esencia boasts an inviting, house-like atmosphere with stunning terrace views. Each high-ceilinged garden suite envelopes vacationers in Esencia’s elegant tropical garden, with a large terrace sitting area and a private plunge pool . A double vanity, shower room, and walk-in closet accommodate guests preparing to stroll along pristine beaches or sandbar catwalks.

$5 for $10 Worth of Custom-Crafted Ice Cream at Cold Stone Creamery
An ice-cream parlor is like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, only instead of the inevitable nuclear whitewater dinosaur catastrophe, you get delicious ice cream topped according to your whim. Today’s Groupon takes you on a journey into the heart of flavor: for $5, you get $10 worth of custom-crafted ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery . Today’s deal is only valid at Cold Stone Creamery’s North Loop location. Cold Stone Creamery’s ice cream, which is made fresh in stores every day, inhabits a quantum flux between soft-serve and traditional ice cream, with a rich, creamy texture that whispers tales of its super-premium quality as it glides over taste buds. Choose your favorite base flavor from among dozens of silky tastes, such as sweet cream, cake batter, and butter pecan. The creamy cups generously welcome dozens of toppings as traditional as crumbled cookies and chopped nuts or as quirky as granola, brownies, and pieces from magnetic poetry sets. Sufferers of premature brain freeze who are unable to invent a creamy concoction can try a Cold Stone Signature creation ($4.39¬–$5.39), such as the almond-studded and caramel-slathered Coffee Lovers Only, or the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection featuring Reese’s peanut-butter cups and fudge. The Frankencream you desire will be scooped cold off the grill into a freshly made waffle cone or bowl. Custom ice-cream creations are priced from $2.99 to $3.99, depending on size.
