Paradisus Riviera Cancun All-Suite
All-Inclusive Beach & Spa Resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico
Julie Register visited this all-suite, all-inclusive resort just
south of Cancun in September 2002
*While
visiting Cancun, I had an opportunity to travel 25 minutes south to
Puerto Morelos to tour the family-oriented, all-inclusive, all-suite
Paradisus Riviera Cancun - only 9 months old at the time of my visit.
The resort is situated on a 5,000-foot beach and is close to other extraordinary
beaches and attractions such as Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Akumal, and
Xel-ha as well as world-famous Mayan archeological sites such as Tulúm,
Cobá, and Chichen Itzá (tours to these destinations are
not included in the "all-inclusive").
The resort offers 500 guest suites including 96 ocean-view Superior
Suites with private Jacuzzis and four first class Ambassador Suites
located in 14 three-story bungalows. All suites measure 500 square feet
and include a private terrace, private bathroom with hair-dryer, individually
controlled air-conditioning, ceiling fan, satellite color TV, direct-dial
telephone, alarm clock with radio, mini-bar and in-room safety deposit
box. Two rooms have been especially adapted for wheelchair accessibility
and the entire hotel complex is wheelchair-accessible.
The resort features four swimming pools (one Spa pool, one for children,
one for activities and one lake-form), six restaurants, four bars, the
Entertainment Theatre with different nightly shows performed by professionals
(not resort employees who perform other functions during the day) and
a spa.
