Riviera Maya Jazz Festival Delivers Sweet Tunes & Free Nights at Royal Hideaway Playacar this November
Musician and Resort’s Managing Director, Jean Agarrista, Showcases Saxophone Talent at Festival & On-Property
The seventh annual Riviera Maya Jazz Festival returns to Mamita’s Beach November 25-28, and music lovers, foodies, and pampered travelers alike can take advantage of a fourth night free at the award-winning Royal Hideaway Playacar during the event. The festival features four nights of complimentary musical performances by a variety of local and international acts including Al Jarreau, Sergio Mendes, and, on opening night, Royal Hideaway Playacar’s managing director Jean Agarrista with his ensemble, The Royal Band.
Attentive villa concierges can arrange for transportation to and from the musical festivities each night, in addition to providing area information, booking excursions, dinner reservations, spa treatments and more. Festival-goers will enjoy posh accommodations at the all-inclusive Royal Hideaway Playacar, and gourmet meals at six á la carte restaurants. In addition, the hotel features a piano lounge, high tea with live music each afternoon, a full service spa, and an unparalleled level of service, which made this the first all-inclusive resort to earn the AAA Five-Diamond Award, from check-in to check-out.
The Royal Band, which opens the festival on Wednesday night, November 25, was started by Agarrista and Rose Elena Valdez in 2005. In 2009, while preparing to record their first album, the band added a tenor sax, trombone and trumpet to the mix, creating a unique Latin sound that resembles the smooth jazz of the 1980s.
Agarrista has also been known to perform impromptu at the resort, so guests may see him, or hear the jazzy sounds of his saxophone, during their stay. “The Riviera Maya Jazz Festival is a fantastic showcase of music under the stars on one of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches,” said Agarrista. “I’m thrilled to be part of the festival’s opening night with The Royal Band, and always enjoy playing at the hotel – especially when we have such a large number of jazz fans in town!”
The seventh annual Riviera Maya Jazz Festival takes place nightly Wednesday, November 25 through Sunday, November 28 on Mamita’s Beach, in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya region. The event combines a variety of musical styles and backgrounds, and features musical acts including Al Jarreau, Jim Beard, Sergio Mendes, Spyro Gyra, Aguamala, and more.
