Riviera Maya Villas
Mexico's Destination for Diving & Snorkeling
About Riviera Maya
Mexican Paradise
This strip of Caribbean coastline on the Yucatán Peninsula is one of Mexico's most popular vacation destinations for good reason. In addition to heavenly beaches – think powder-soft sand and warm, turquoise water – there are plenty of one-of-a-kind attractions to discover. Explore Mayan villages and caves, swim by the only archaeological site on the sea, and snorkel along the largest coral reef system in the Northern Hemisphere.

Expert Tips:
Playa del Carmen is the ideal spot for shopping, dining, and nightlife. It is just a 5-minute drive from La Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) where you will find cafes, bars, outdoor restaurants, shops, boutiques, nightclubs, and more. The area is also home to adventures such as scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, and kiteboarding.
Taxi fares are pre-set in Riviera Maya, so if you've done your research you'll know whether the price you're being quoted is correct or not. There is a sign at the taxi stand near the main shopping mall in Playa del Carmen (just off La Quinta Avenita) that lists the prices as well.
