Located just south of Cancun and extending south to Puerto Morelos, the Riviera Cancun dazzles visitors with its powdery soft sand and crystal clear waters. Just south of the bustling action of the Cancun hotel zone, Riviera Cancun offers a quieter and more tranquil atmosphere, while still being close to all the action. Home to beautiful resorts and luxury hotels, the area is a perfect place to stay in when travelling to the east coast of Mexico.
Riviera Cancun vacations offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. By day, relax on glorious beaches, enjoy day trips to popular attractions, enjoy a little shopping in town, lounge around your resort, and admire the stunning natural surroundings. When the sun goes down, experience the exciting nightlife and action in the downtown area. Dine at fabulous restaurants, hit the bars, or dance the night away at an array of nightclubs. Do as much or as little as you like. Close to many of Mexico’s famous attractions, the Riviera Cancun is also an ideal base for exploring the area’s history and culture. Venture to the ancient Mayan sites of Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, explore smaller cities such as Valladolid, and stroll through the charming town and sea port of Puerto Morelos. Head further south to the Riviera Maya and visit other popular Mayan ruins such as Tulum and Coba as well as fun parks, such as Xel-Ha and Xcaret.
Featuring beautiful beaches, tranquil waters, stunning landscapes, and an array of activities and entertainment, the Riviera Cancun serves up one of the best vacations you’ll ever have!

Resort Safety
Traveling to foreign destinations can be very exhilarating. Tourists must be aware that potential problems and risks to your personal safety could exist anywhere.
