Fodor's Expert Review Excellence Riviera Cancún

Just 15 minutes from Cancún Airport, this sprawling adults-only resort is centered on an indulgent spa and six meandering pools. Its grand entrance leads to a Spanish marble lobby; rooms are similarly opulent—all have Jacuzzi tubs, ornate Italianate furnishings, and private balconies. Guests have a choice of 11 bars and 10 restaurants, including a lobster house and an Indian restaurant, all with dinner dress codes that make every night date night. There are plenty of activities here, including kayaking, volleyball, tennis, archery, and dancing lessons, and if you prefer lounging on the beach to learning to salsa, this is where you'll find one of the largest, nicest beaches in the area. This is one of the few all-inclusive resorts that doesn't require guests to wear wristbands, make dinner reservations, or sign for services. For something extra romantic, ask about a room with a rooftop Jacuzzi.
