Where to Stay in the Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya stretches down Mexico's Caribbean coast from just south of Cancún past Tulum, and each town along the way has its own rhythm. Playa del Carmen is the walkable hub with Fifth Avenue, restaurants, and the Cozumel ferry. Akumal is quieter and better for families who want turtles and reef swimming at their doorstep. Puerto Aventuras is a gated marina community with calm beaches and easy dining, and Tulum blends jungle, cenotes, and design-forward beach clubs.
Choosing where to stay usually comes down to pace. Travelers who want energy and nightlife gravitate to Playa del Carmen or Tulum; those who want a slower, more residential trip pick Akumal or Puerto Aventuras. All four are within an easy drive of each other, so day trips between them are simple.
The four towns
Explore Akumal, Tulum, Playa del Carmen & Puerto Aventuras
Every PPIM vacation rental sits in one of these four communities, and we live here year-round. That means the recommendations you get — the reef guide in Akumal, the right cenote near Tulum, the table on Fifth Avenue, the marina slip in Puerto Aventuras — come from actual local knowledge rather than a search result.
Browse each destination page for property options, local attractions, and things to do, or reach out and we'll help you match the right town to your trip.
