Strike a balance between leisure and culture at The Tides Riviera Maya, a world-class resort surrounded by world-class destinations.
EXPERIENCE
Beaches are nice, but after five days or so, they begin to look eerily like big piles of sand. Welcome this realization at Tides Riviera Maya. Your vacation is just getting started.
The first thing you'll want to do is arrange a tour of the attractions and ancient Mayan cities that dot the region. The pyramid at Uxmal is a humbling feat of ancient engineering, while Xel-Ha, the world's largest natural aquarium, invites you to swim with the dolphins - or the stingrays.
Head back to your luxury villa - there are 30 in total, each measuring 1000 sq. ft. - and take a dip in your private pool. Swing by La Marea, the on-site "Mayaterranean" restaurant, for traditionally prepared seafood simmered in banana leaves. And save some energy for a horseback ride along the beach, or if you prefer horses of the sea variety, scuba diving.
