Day 1
Mayan Riviera Cancún, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres were once little more than sleepy villages, but now these Caribbean Coast resorts are world renowned for their vacation facilities - known collectively as Riviera Maya. The Isla de Cancún, made up of some of Mexico’s most expensive beachfronts occupies the northeast tip of the Yucatán. The Punta, or point of the island, is nestled between the Bahía de Mujeres (Bay of Women) and the Caribbean Sea and boasts some of the best areas for sunbathing on the Peninsula. At the tip of the point is Playa Chac Mool, a public beach area offering comfortable dining and shopping. Upon confirmation of your trip, you will be sent a package with details of your trip. Enjoy an airport transfer with private vehicle and a professional driver. Enjoy a wide choice of restaurants and cuisines in the Bavaro Maya Palace Deluxe resort. The different options allow you to enjoy à la carte restaurants, exquisite buffets, 24-hour room service (room service charge will be applied to your bill) and different snacks on every day of your stay. There are two fully air-conditioned buffets overlooking the sea, one with an international flavor, and the other with a Mexican-hacienda style. There is also a Grill that can be accessed from the beach with tables overlooking the sea. There are five speciality restaurants with spectacular views over the bay; a French brasserie, a Brazilian rodizio restaurant, a Caribbean restaurant, an Oriental restaurant and a restaurant with Mexican specialities. Choose a different type of cuisine every night of you stay if you wish! The Barceló Maya Palace Deluxe was a project designed around the Caribbean Sea. Located on possibly the best beach of the Riviera Maya, the hotel is in a spectacular natural setting. Its architectural design, which was inspired by colonial culture, is harmonic and ordered, and provides each space with its own unique character. The complex is just 25 km from Playa del Carmen beach, 75 km to the south of the International Airport of Cancun and 85 km from the city of Cancun, making it easily accessible for international arrivals. The property is located on one of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches with 2 km of white sand and crystalline water, is a wonderful family hotel, and offers unbeatable service and hospitality.
