Fodor's Expert Review Haven Riviera Cancun

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This adults-only sophisticated sanctuary is located 15 minutes south of the airport in a secluded complex. With touches of turquoise blue, a natural color palette complements the hotel's modern Mexican design with outstanding ocean views. Not a party resort, this intimate all-inclusive property has a quiet lagoon-like pool plus an oversized, two-level pool where guests like to casually socialize around the swim-up bar. Even the twice-weekly evening DJ's playlist is subdued. The all king-size bedded suites, with either a private swim-out or balcony with a hot tub, include luxuries like twice-daily maid service.  Elevate your stay by booking a Serenity Club oceanfront suite with multiple VIP amenities. On-site restaurants include a Mexican steak house, Asian Fusion with Teppanyaki stations, and the upscale Olios, with a Mediterranean flair. The mixology program is backed by some of the Yucatan's most award-winning bartenders who are happy to handcraft drinks to your taste. Head to Moons for cabaret five nights a week or join hosted events like casino night. The expansive spa offers cutting-edge treatments, with a hydrotherapy regimen and alternative healing techniques, including Reiki, shamanism, and energy work.
