🌿✨ The Story of Hotel Esencia, Tulum What do The Simpsons, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Melrose Place have in common? Aside from shaping the TV we grew up with, they all connect to Kevin Wendle—the Hollywood producer-turned-hotelier behind the stunning Hotel Esencia. This Riviera Maya gem was once the private beachfront estate of an Italian duchess. Hidden away on 50 acres of lush jungle, with powder-white sands and turquoise waters at its doorstep, the estate was her sanctuary for elegance and tranquility—a place where time seemed to stand still. In 2014, Wendle acquired the property, transforming it into one of the world's most exclusive boutique hotels. Known for shaping pop culture (remember waiting all week for the next episode of 90210?), Wendle brought his eye for detail and love of design to reimagine Esencia. He preserved its timeless charm while adding modern touches: airy suites, serene private villas, and an aesthetic that blends understated luxury with the natural beauty of Tulum. Guests today can stroll through palm-lined pathways🌴, relax on secluded beaches🏖️, and immerse themselves in the same elegance that once captivated royalty. Picture waking to the sound of waves, enjoying farm-to-table dining crafted from local ingredients, or indulging in spa treatments inspired by ancient Mayan rituals—all while surrounded by lush jungle and endless blue skies.☀️🌊 ✨ From producing the TV shows we loved to creating a retreat we dream of visiting, Wendle has a knack for magic—on screen and in real life. 📸 Can you imagine yourself here? #HotelEsencia #TulumLuxury #90sNostalgia #DeFehrTravel
