Mayan Riviera (Quintana Roo)
One of the most popular and fastest growing resort destinations in Mexico, Riviera Maya needs no further presentation. Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya, located on ever-sunny shore of the Caribbean sea, are known to offer pristine white sand beaches and some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in the world. They are also home to masterpiece golf courses, some of Mexico's, a bustling nightlife and spectacular Mayan ruins.
