When you REALLY want to get away!

Just south of Cancun, the Riviera Maya (also referred to as the Mayan Riviera)
creates a picture-perfect paradise for those seeking the infinite beauty of Mexico's
Caribbean without the fast pace of Cancun. On the idyllic Riviera Maya visitors can
explore fascinating national parks and tour remarkable ancient Mayan ruins. One can
catch a ride on the ferry to Cozumel, easily accessible from trendy Playa del Carmen,
the Riviera Maya’s shopping and dining center.
The Riviera Maya hotels and resorts (located in places such as Playa del Secreto,
Playa Paraiso and Punta Maroma), promise a "laid-back" vacation. They offer
environments ranging from secluded world-class boutique resorts to lively, socially
interactive all-inclusive mega-resorts. Pristine beaches, caressed by calm, turquoise
waters and bathed by gentle breezes, Riviera Maya offers stretches of white sand
fringed with palm trees and protected by a chain of coral reefs. Known and treasured
by locals, but still virtually undiscovered, these unspoiled serene strands of beach,
as plentiful as the region’s sunny days, offer visitors a wealth of peace and tranquility.
