The Riviera Maya is absolutely the hottest vacation destination in Mexico. It comprises of the nine areas about 90 minutes south of Cancun. Few other vacation spots offer the array of hotels combined with such beautiful Caribbean ocean views. A unique aspect of the Riviera Maya are the huge hotel developments.

The Riviera Maya is home to the best all-inclusive resorts in Mexico. Most of the hotels in the Riviera Maya are all-inclusive. All-Inclusive resorts are sort of like a cruise on land. They include your food, open bar, beverages and many activities along with the price of your room. Most have multiple dining options and often these are buffet style. Now, many of the five star all-inclusive resorts now have Al a Carte fine dining as well.
While the resorts are some of the finest in Mexico, the beaches are somewhat average. Many of the beaches are narrow and some have lots of seaweed and large rocks in the water making swimming less than optimum. But the beautiful all-inclusive resorts more than make up for the beaches.
