Surrounded by sugar-white beaches and a crystal clear Caribbean Ocean, the Excellence Riviera Cancun located at the gorgeous Riviera Maya is the perfect all-inclusive hotel for a romantic getaway. The hotel is an adults-only hotel, and is minutes away from Cancun and the wonderful Playa del Carmen; which makes it a awesome destination to forget about life and the children. Designed for the perfect trip, the resort features only 440 luxury and spacious all-suites accommodations; which are surrounded by six unique pools. However, unlike most resorts the Excellence Riviera Cancun is the genuine deal; each suite includes at minimum one Jacuzzi, marble bathrooms, extremely comfortable beds, and other amenities fitted for perfection.

The hotel also features seven gourmet restaurants, a exceptional buffet and nine bars all throughout its 86,112 square feet. The food is delicious, and you will surely be amazed by its variety. Also, you won’t need to worry about entertainment when it comes to this astonishing hotel. You can go sightseeing, get treatment at the outdoor and indoor spa, use the fitness center, or go swimming in the resort’s swimming pools that feature three Jacuzzi’s. With rates not too far from affordable, this is a awesome worth for a little elude from reality.

The Iberostar Paraiso Maya is a wonderful hotel that offers a wide variety of features to its travelers. The facility is spectacular, featuring a lavish lobby with gorgeous decorations, a modern wave pool, and convenient shade and plenty of chairs in the pools and the beach. This enormous resort is a good place to stay in the Riviera Maya.

In addition to its awesome facility, the staff is extremely friendly. They convey that they really want to help, and even though always appreciated, the tip is never asked for or implied. However, the hotel is a disappointment when it comes to food. The restaurant is equipped with a large variety of foods, but they are all on the bad quality side.

The five pools that the resort has include waterfalls, wave pool, a lazy river, a pool just for water sports. The resort also features a disco and a theater. Even though beautiful far away, they are still a delightful amenity. Overall, this hotel is a awesome way to spend your time in Mexico. Even though a little bit overpriced, it can still be very enjoyable.

The All-Inclusive package operated by the resort provides breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, unlimited alcoholic and soft drinks all free of charge, since they are alalert included in the original price. In addition, the package extends to the hotel’s non-motorized water sports; like kayaks, paddleboats and sailboats.

While staying at the resort, you will be able to take part in in-house activities, hotel shows and thematic nights. You will also be able to use the resort’s three pools, tennis courts, bicycles, gym, and the nine-hole golf course. The resort also features transportation to Playa del Carmen, a children’s club for children, ATM services, currency exchange, car rental, travel agency, and gift and clothing shops.

Its very affordable rates make the resort even more attractive! You might think the price is a bit expensive, but recollect that it includes absolutely everything. You won’t need to pay a penny more for anything else while staying at the resort. Don’t think about it anymore and book a vacation at Catalonia Riviera Maya.

The room was equipped standard. Not too much, but still with all the basic stuff. It had two double beds, a phone, a TV, A/C, a dressing room and a patio. The resort in general was gorgeous though, and the pool was amazing!

With a very convenient distance from Playa del Carmen (10 minutes), this hotel offers many activities to elude from the daily stress from home. They offer all kinds of water sports, like diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, etc. There’s also a 18-hole golf course, and direct access to the jacuzzi and swimming pools from the rooms or suites. In addition, the varied international food cooked by renowned professional chefs has given the hotel fame for its culinary excellence.

With affordable prices, this hotel is a awesome place to stay at. With brief distance to the Mayan ruins and boat trips to the island of Conzumel, the fun never stops. It is a awesome way to elude daily life an enjoy sometime with the family in a natural place.

ROSEWOOD MAYAKOBÁ, on Mexico’s Caribbean-lapped Mayan Riviera, opened in December, catering to guests with 128 beach- and lagoon-front suites (each with its own boat dock, most with private plunge pools), an 18-hole Greg Norman golf course and new-this-month spa, Sense, situated on its own private island. (An “on-site shaman” performs the signature Temazcal Ritual – a purifying steam bath based on traditional Mayan healing methods.)

Mayakobá is 42 miles from the Cancún airport and just four miles north of the picturesque fishing town (and open-air bars) of Playa del Carmen. If even that sounds like too far a trip, a brief stroll to Mayakobá’s on-site Tequila Library will bring entire new meaning to the term “beach read.”
