The Beach at Viceroy Riviera Maya, a Luxury Villa Resort

"" Although rocky in places, the beach has white-powder sand and turquoise waters; it makes an attractive backdrop to the serene pool area and sea-facing restaurants"

"Formerly the Tides Riviera Maya Set between the beach and a lush, tropical forest in Mexico’s booming resort region on the Yucatán Peninsula, the Tides still retains a sense of exclusivity and seclusion"

") Junglephobes can stick to the pool, out of the woods and steps from the beach"

"It's hard to tear oneself away from the villas but the hotel boasts of an expansive beach as well"

"Signature Villas 21 and 22 are prizes, but the extravagantly priced beachfront digs 51 and 52 are reserved for high rollers"

"A rustic-glam hideaway, this pristine, upscale resort straddles the beach and lush jungle in its own self-contained oasis"
