The Vidanta Riviera Maya Resort has partnered with Cirque du Soleil to bring an impressive permanent program to Riviera Maya. The show, JOYÀ, (pronounced hoya) is an experience unique to Riviera Maya Cirque du Soleil thanks to the dinner theater feature becoming a major part of their program. The addition of Cirque du Soleil to Riviera Maya adds yet another excellent feature for your luxury vacation.

We (John and Linda) recently attended the show and the dinner. The creative dinner was literally one of the best meals we have ever had. As a bonus there was live music during the dinner before the show. In addition the unique bar, Nektar, at the Cirque venue has creative cocktails that will leave you impressed. This brings yet another, unforgettable experience to the already amenity packed resort
