3-Star Hotels in Riviera Maya

Stretching along the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, the Riviera Maya is a sun-drenched corridor of white-sand beaches and ancient history. The main draw is its stunning coastline, from the lively beach clubs of Playa del Carmen to the serene shores of Akumal, where you can swim with sea turtles. Just inland, the colossal pyramids of the Tulum and Coba ruins rise from the jungle, offering a direct link to the Maya civilization. The region's unique network of freshwater cenotes, like the Grand Cenote or Dos Ojos, provides incredible opportunities for snorkeling and diving in crystal-clear waters.

For easy access to restaurants and ferry services to Cozumel, base yourself in Playa del Carmen. Couples often prefer the exclusive resorts and golf courses around Puerto Aventuras or the bohemian chic atmosphere of Tulum town. Families love the all-inclusive resorts in Playacar or the calm bay of Akumal. The region is served by Cancún International Airport, about an hour's drive north, and renting a car is the best way to explore the many scattered attractions at your own pace.

On HOTEVI, you can choose from 126 hotels across the Riviera Maya. Accommodation is dominated by large, all-inclusive beachfront resorts, particularly between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, but you'll also find a growing selection of stylish boutique hotels and eco-lodges, especially in the Tulum area, alongside a smaller number of budget-friendly hostels in the town centers.
