The Caribbean coast along Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula's Riviera Maya strip is one of the world's most idolized pieces of coastline. The white sand beaches of the peninsula beckon guests to venture into the cool, crystal clear waters of the Caribbean and are only a short traveling distance from many of Mexico's inland attractions. From basking in the coastal sun to exploring the intrepid Mayan ruins littered throughout the landscape, Mexico is a destination that promises a combination of relaxing tranquillity and exotic adventure.
There is no better place to embrace the Mexican spirit and the many attractions of the Yucatán Peninsula than at the El Dorado Maroma’s adult-only resort. Halfway between the major tourist hubs of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the El Dorado Maroma offers the complete luxury amenities of a top-of-the-line hotel while maintaining the slow isolated vibes that have become synonymous with the many resorts near Bahamas.
The El Dorado Maroma has a long list of accolades that include being named the 4th best resort in the world by the Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers' Choice Award.
Best Time to Book
Peak season along the Yucatán Peninsula's Riviera Maya runs from December to April. The region experiences near-perfect weather conditions during these months, often resulting in heavy crowding at famous beaches and tourist attractions. To accommodate the increased demand of the region's tourist season, resorts such as the El Dorado Maroma will often experience an increase in their nightly rates, particularly around Christmas and Spring Break.
To score a great deal, visitors should book their Mexico vacation at the El Dorado Maroma during the region's low season. With most tourists opting to avoid traveling to Mexico's Caribbean coast from May to June or from September to November, many local resorts will often experience a heavy decrease in their nightly rates. However, while these months do offer the best prices of the year, travelers at this time are also subject to increase chances of being caught in heavy rainfalls and tropical storms.
For a combination of moderate prices and weather conditions, visitors to the region should book their all-inclusive package during Mexico's shoulder months. The Yucatán Peninsula still experiences the occasional downpour between July and August. But rainfalls are far less frequent than during the wet season, and prices are much more affordable than during the region's peak tourism.
