Riviera Maya Hotels and Travel Guide

 

THE RIVIERA MAYA

The Riviera Maya, a natural paradise that merges with the waters of the Caribbean Sea, is a coastal strip that stretches more than 120 km (75 mi) from Puerto Morelos to Punta Allen, in the state of Quintana Roo. The climate in this Yucatan Peninsula region is subtropical with an average temperature of 25°C (77°F).

Considered one of the fastest growing tourist destinations over the last decade, here you can relax or enjoy recreational activities at luxurious resorts nestled in the jungle. The posh hotels offer exclusive golf courses, spas and white-sand beaches, such as El Secreto and El Paraiso, where you can bask in the sun and indulge in all kinds of water sports. For example, you can scuba dive off the coast at a depth of more than 10 meters (33 feet) as you take in the spectacular sights of the Great Meso-American Barrier Reef. You can also discover ancient Mayan cities such as Coba and Tulum; the latter is located right on the beach. What's more, you can visit incredible ecological reserves such as Sian Ka'an, which was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Here you can take part in eco-tourism outings, sailfish and marlin fishing, and other outdoor activities such as: long walks or horseback riding, while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. During your visit to the Riviera Maya, do not miss out on Xcaret and Xel-Há, two of Mexico's most important theme parks, where you can see fascinating indigenous wildlife and live the unforgettable experience of snorkeling in underground rivers. At dusk, don't forget to visit the spectacular nightclubs, where you can chat with friends over drinks, or you can visit a restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious lobster dinner. These are just some of things you can do in the Riviera Maya, which is why it has earned a reputation as the ideal destination to enjoy life

Getting there
Cancun international Airport; code CUN; located 52 km north of Playa del Carmen. The Cozumel Airport may also be considered for international access to this region (code CZM).

Getting around
From the Cancun Airport one option is to rent a car or jeep to get from spot to spot. There is also private cab service to the region, and some properties may transfers as part of their packages. The bus to Playa del Carmen departs every hour from 10:30 am to 9:30 pm.

A company called ADO provides bus service from the airport to Playa del Carmen. Their terminal is located at the southeast corner of the Main Terminal. If you arrive at the Charter Terminal, you'll need to take the free airport shuttle service (van whit "ASUR" on the side) over to the main terminal.

Around the area, Cabs are available although expensive. There is also frequent bus service along Mexico 307. Several companies operate shuttle-type service between Cancun and Tulum with stops at several spots along the way. Rates are affordable, though service is somewhat irregular.

The highway connecting Cancun to the Riviera Maya region is a modern, four-lane divided highway that now stretches all the way to Calica (10 km south of Playa del Carmen). Two lanes continue from there to Tulum. From Tulum the road is being widened from its narrow two lanes.

Playa del Carmen is one of the most attractive destinations in the Mexican Caribbean. Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, 68 km (42 mi) south of Cancun, it has an ideal subtropical climate with an average temperature of 25º C (77º F) and sunny days throughout most of the year. During the summer, the maximum temperature can reach 35º C (95º F).


At Playa del Carmen you will find beautiful beaches looking out onto the Caribbean Sea, which are ideal places to relax or do all kinds of water sports: snorkeling, windsurfing and even kitesurfing, a new and exhilarating extreme sport that combines surfing and parasailing.    For those who like scuba diving, there are boats departing from the docks which offer exciting outings to the Great Mayan Reef, the second largest coral reef (system) in the world. There you can dive at depths of more than 10 meters (33 feet) among multicolored fish and coral that has existed for more than 500 years.    Near Playa del Carmen you can discover Playa Paamul and Playa Paraiso, two beautiful beaches with calm waters and gorgeous ecological parks: Xcaret and Xel-Ha. Also nearby are numerous sinkholes where you can do rappelling and cave diving while exploring the amazing depths of underground river systems.



Come nightfall, we recommend that you take a stroll along Quinta Avenida, one of Playa del Carmen´s most happening areas. The avenue is lined with restaurants, bars, cosmopolitan nightclubs and a shopping mall with exclusive boutiques, clothing stores and jewelry shops.
