Description To the south of Cancun, the Mayan Riviera offers a unique and different experience. With its wide expanse of beaches and proximity to Mayan cultural sites, it is the old world meeting the new. Thousand-year old ruins lie within sight of luxurious mega-resorts offering every amenity imaginable. For Golfers there are a variety of challenging courses to choose from. Many resorts here are all-inclusive, offering all meals, drinks, tips, and entertainment at one price. There are a number of attractive options for travelers and families on any budget.
Local Information The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso. American funds are widely accepted, though we recommend buying some pesos, especially for shopping at the local markets and tips. Currency can be exchanged at casas de cambio (exchange houses), banks, and hotels, though the latter usually have the highest rates and tack on a service fee. ATMs are readily available and accept foreign bankcards. Major credit cards are widely accepted.
Airport
Information The Mayan Riviera is served by the international airport in Cancun. Major US carriers (American, Continental, Delta, Alaska, USAirways) as well as Mexicana and AeroMexico offer daily flights year round.
Entry
Requirements The U.S. Department of State and Homeland Security requires all travelers to and from Mexico to have a passport to establish the bearer's identity and nationality. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the airline they are traveling on, or their local consulate regarding the specific entry requirements that apply to their nationality.
