5 Resorts in the Riviera Maya

With 100 miles (give or take) of beautiful coastline, the Riviera Maya on the eastern shores of Mexico does not disappoint!  Stretches of powder-soft white sand beaches, the sparkling turquoise color of the Caribbean Sea, and the lush jungle… this stretch of coast has some of Mexico’s most luxurious and very impressive all-inclusive resorts.

The all-inclusive resorts covers everything from an intimate, boutique feel to huge, mini-cities… and everything in between!  Adults-only, couples-only, family-friendly options, and clothing optional resorts are tucked into the jungle sitting on the edge of the sea, just ready to dip its toes to feel the water.

I’m highlighting five of these amazing all-inclusive resorts!  So read on… one of these resorts could be your next vacation destination!
