The Best Hotels in Riviera Maya

My addiction to luxury hotels took me to visit all the most beautiful hotels of the Riviera Maya, Cancun and Tulum. Here I will share my review on my favorite hotels of the Riviera Maya.

I love to visit properties, I used to do it as my main task on my previous job where I would check them out and see what they offer to their clients and I am doing it now in order to be able to share with my readers an objective review, and I also love to stay there, when possible.

In this post you will find valuable (I hope) suggestions for your next luxury experience in the Riviera Maya and here is my choice of the best hotels of the Riviera Maya according to my taste, of course.

This is in geographical order from Puerto Morelos going southwards until Tulum.

Beautiful spacious suite and a signature restaurant, I particularly love the Balinese furniture and vintage decoration. It’s the kind of luxury that makes you feel welcomed and relaxed. This is your best choice for a relaxing and romantic holiday.

BLUE SKY

I discovered this property by accident while exploring the area, and I realized what a precious jewel it is. Tacked away from the main road ( Carretera federal), this small boutique hotel offers a luxury stay on a beautiful and private beach stretch. Especially for those who love snorkeling, this is the ideal place. Two long decks are perfect for sunbathing right on the water.
The restaurant is also well known in the area for local specialties. You would be in the heart of the Riviera Maya, surrounded by amazing beaches and at a step from Casa Cenote, a great open cenote where you can have a different swimming and snorkeling experience.
