Mexico is popular with travelers from all over the world. They go there for reasons almost too numerous to mention: sunshine, blue seas teeming with fish and coral, crystal-white beaches, lofty mountains and volcanoes, jungles full of exotic wildlife, collectible folk art and the breathtaking remains of ancient cultures.
The Mayan Riviera is comprised of a string of sparkling beaches, Mayan archeological sites, villages, and resorts. With hundreds of miles of coastline, Cancun, Mexico offers everything one could want in the way of ocean-living, relaxing and exploring.

The world of the ancient Maya encompassed at Mexico's southeastern states of Chiapas, Tabasco and the three states of the Yucatan Peninsula: Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatan. This region, now known as the Mayan World contains more than 3,000 architectural sites of this ancient and powerful culture, whose incredible legacy and ritual secrets await almost daily discovery. |

Images of Earth's most breath-taking natural scenery are the beaches of Cancun, Mexico. From soft, gentle breezes over warm brillant sand, lapped by gentle waves, to roaring and pounding surf, thrashing against black volcanic rock, and from misty and mystical jungles to high, shear cliffs, all provide opportunities for new experiences and finding different personalities of this magnificant State.

In Cancun, two beach zones can be distinguished: the first is located in the north of the hotel zone, facing Isla Mujeres and the beach is protected by its location within the Cancun Mexico bay. Due to its calm waves, it is ideal for children and to practice aquatic activities like jet skiing, water skiing or sailing. The other beach zone in Cancun is located on the eastern side or the hotel zone, facing the open sea. It is a group of spectacular beaches, with waves whose intensity varies according to the season. For your safety, Cancun hotel beaches and marinas use colored warning flags. For your safety, I suggest consider them. |
