A luxury getaway weekend to a new oasis in Cancun awaits.

From the minute guests arrive at the Haven Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa to their departure, they are treated with exquisite first class service. This all-inclusive resort opened in October 2018, making it the newest addition to the “Golden Mile” of luxury hotels on the coast of Cancun. Haven Riviera has given the term ‘all-inclusive’ a whole new meaning. They offer an oasis for adults to escape to with an all-inclusive concept but all the amenities and service of a luxury resort.
