Should you feel like exploring the beautiful Riviera Maya, there are various possibilities for day tours and many places that you can visit on your own from your home base in Riviera Maya Suites.
Playa del Carmen
The center of Playa del Carmen is within walking distance of Riviera Maya Suites. Here you will find many shops, restaurants, and bars. Enjoy strolling through the lively town, or get some excitement at one of Playa del Carmen's discos or bars!
Cancun and Isla Mujeres
Cancun is only about an hour's drive north of Playa del Carmen. There are public busses departing for Cancun every 15 minutes, or take a taxi anytime you want to go. From Puerto Juarez, which is just north of Cancun, there is a ferry that takes you to the quiet tropical island of Isla Mujeres.
Cozumel
The island of Cozumel lies just across from Playa del Carmen. The ferry terminal, where there are regular ferries to Cozumel, is located in downtown Playa del Carmen and can be easily reached by taxi or on foot.
Xcaret and Xel-Ha
These nature parks are salt water inlets where you can snorkel, relax on the beach, visit underground rivers or discover the fascinating culture of the Maya during an interesting show at night.
Xcaret is only a few miles from Playa del Carmen, Xel-Ha around 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Playa del Carmen, near Tulum.
Archeological Sites
While staying at Riviera Maya Suites, you may want to visit one or more of the famous archeological sites on the Yucatan Peninsula. The Tulum Mayan Ruins are situated directly on the Caribbean Sea, only an hour's drive south of Playa del Carmen. Coba, the Mayan site with the highest pyramid, is a little bit further inland. And even the most famous, largest and most important city of the Maya, Chichen Itza, can be visited from Playa del Carmen in just one day.
