Glitzy hotels line the strip of land that's fringed on one side by the beach and sea, and on the other by the lagoon. There's something for everyone including superb watersports, glass bottom boats, a waterpark, golf and a vibrant night-life. Restaurants cater for every taste, and there's excellent shopping opportunities. Tulum, Chich?©n Itz?Ä° and the Xcaret Eco-park are all within day-trip distance for a more authentic taste of Mexico.
