My Top 5 Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resorts

The Riviera Maya is one of Mexico’s most breathtaking vacation spots, stretching along the Caribbean coast from just south of Cancun down past Playa del Carmen and Tulum. With lush jungle backdrops, white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, this region is home to some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the world.

Here are my top 5 Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts that stand out for luxury, service, and unforgettable experiences.

This eco-friendly resort combines luxury with adventure. Guests enjoy unlimited access to all Xcaret adventure parks and tours, making it perfect for families and thrill-seekers. The resort itself is stunning, with natural rivers, caves, and unique architecture.

Why I love it: It’s more than a resort — it’s an all-in-one vacation experience.

2. Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun (Adults-Only)

Often ranked among the best resorts in the world, Secrets Maroma offers an upscale, romantic experience on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Riviera Maya. With gourmet dining, infinity pools, and a tranquil spa, it’s perfect for couples.

3. Grand Velas Riviera Maya

This luxury resort is known for its world-class dining (with several AAA Five Diamond restaurants) and spacious suites. It’s divided into three sections: family-friendly, adults-only, and zen jungle. This makes it versatile for any type of traveler.

Part of the massive Barceló Maya Grand Resort complex, the Palace offers guests access to countless pools, restaurants, and entertainment options. It’s especially great for families thanks to a water park, bowling alley, and nightly shows.
