Cancun Resorts
Beginning south of Cancún, the Riviera Maya is taking shape as Mexico's newest holiday land. The region is a 50-mile stretch of luxurious tourist resorts, sugar-white palm-fringed beaches, ecological parks and major archaeological sites. Divers and snorkelers are drawn to the world's 2nd largest barrier reef, subterranean rivers and "cenotes". The town of Playa del Carmen provides a fun and festive respite, with a good choice of bars, restaurants and shopping treasures. It's also where visitors catch the ferry to Cozumel. Rivera Maya resorts are generally all-inclusive and are confined to a few pockets of developed areas, leaving most of the region uninhabited and ideal for visitors seeking a Mexican-Caribbean getaway in a secluded setting.
