ABOUT THE DESTINATION

The Riviera Maya has the second largest coral reef in the world, which is easily accessible from Cozumel, a short distance from the resort. The warm and gentle currents of the Caribbean ensure that the area is a popular destination for traditional diving and snorkeling. The exploration of the mystical undersea cenotes (luminous caverns that were once sources of drinking water for the Mayans who inhabited the area), a visit to the Mayan ruins in Tulum, Coba or Chichen Itza (one of the seven wonders of the world) or An excursion to Sian Ka'an (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) will bring a truly unique element to your stay. Within walking distance, Playa del Carmen offers lush nightlife, as well as sophisticated boutiques and shops offering traditional Mexican crafts.
