Mayan Palace Riviera Maya Resort
Escape the clamor of Cancun and head south to the Mayan Palace Cancun on the Riviera Maya. The Mayan Palace Cancun isn't actually in Cancun! Even better, it's on the Riviera Maya, about 30 minutes from Cancun near Playa del Carmen. The resort is located on it's own private beach right on the azure Caribbean. You can easily spend the entire week at the resort. Four restaurants, a variety of activities and sports equipment rental are on site. Imagine yourself under a palapas (thatch shelter) next to the largest pool in Latin America.
The Riviera Maya
On the other hand, the Riviera Maya location of the Mayan Palace Cancun is a perfect base for exploring the Yucatan peninsula. What's to explore?
- Eco parks like Xel Ha and Xcaret
- Cenotes (fresh water pools and caves) that you can explore guided or on your own
- Mayan Ruins
- snorkel and diving sites all are nearby.
- Playa del Carmen is a destination of it's own.
Entertainment and eating options are basically unlimited in Playa del Carmen.
