Riviera Maya, Mexico
The Riviera Maya creates a picture-perfect paradise for those seeking the infinite beauty of Mexico's Caribbean without the fast pace of Cancun. Riviera Maya vacation packages offer quiet, romantic vacation getaways at some of the most popular and enticing resorts in Mexico. Yet a vacation to this alluring coastal paradise also provides an opportunity to gain an appreciation of nature and Mayan history. On the idyllic Riviera Maya you can explore fascinating national parks and tour remarkable ancient Mayan ruins. You can also catch a ride on the ferry to Cozumel, easily accessible from trendy Playa del Carmen with its eclectic mix of shops, galleries, cafes and clubs.
Just south of Cancun, and just about an hour drive from the airport, the Riviera Maya hotels promise a "laid-back" vacation experience at some of the finest resorts in the Caribbean, including secluded world-class boutique resorts and lively, socially interactive all-inclusive mega-resorts - and everything in between! A Riviera Maya vacation package offers something for everyone!
Please Note: Beach size is susceptible to constant change, and some hotel beach areas can be quite small at certain times (especially in the Playacar area). Vacation Express cannot assume responsibility for up-to-date beach information at a particular resort, and it is the responsibility of the traveler to inquire with the hotel directly for the most current information on beach conditions.
