With over 135 hotel members of the Riviera Maya Hotel Association there’s a hotel style just right for your taste and budget — from palatial, lavish resorts, to chic boutiques, beachfront cabanas, green eco-tourism hotels and charming Mexican colonial style inns. Planning a destination wedding or meeting? Use our complete list of hotels and hotel contacts to book direct and save time and money!
Singles, couples, friends and families find more fun stuff to see and do in Riviera Maya than anywhere else in the Caribbean. Sometimes the best things in life are free, like drinking in the bohemian ambience of Playa del Carmen’s famous “la Quinta” Avenida (Fifth Avenue), a pretty pedestrian promenade of strolling mariachis and street performers, outdoor lounges and cafés, chic boutique hotels and unmatched people watching.
The very icon of Riviera Maya is the seaside archeological site of Tulum, with a new nighttime program. Other ancient Maya sites, Cobá and Muyil, also welcome explorers, and the mother of all Maya cities, Chichén Itzá, awaits just a short excursion inland.
Don’t miss the eco adventure of Xcaret or the nightly extravaganza in its theater. Explore botanical gardens, see tropical birds and visit colonial churches. Ply the vast Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Love festivals and special events? Visit in November to catch the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival, or in February for the Mayakoba Golf Classic, Mexico’s only PGA tour event.
Dining & Nightlife
Riviera Maya's restaurants and bars. Leave your jacket and tie at home! Get recommendations in our dining and nightlife guide; from fine dining by inspired chefs from around the world, to traditional Mexican food served under open-air, beach front palapas. Eat drink and party until the wee hours.
