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.

Location

Visiting Haven Riviera is a perfect getaway weekend for adults. It’s a hop and a skip away for Texas residents with a short two hour flight and 15 minute drive from the airport. Other resorts in Cancun have an average commute of one hour from the airport, and up to two hours with traffic. Getting to Haven is a breeze and a fantastic way to start a relaxing vacation.

Property

From the flora and fauna throughout the property and pristine grounds, no detail is left untouched. The unique Mexican contemporary design of the hotel is unlike any others in the area. The horizontal beachfront design provides ocean views from over half of the guest rooms and public spaces. The entire resort is elevated, providing a unique infinity view from anywhere in the resort. The personnel is continually cleaning and polishing every nook and cranny, discreetly using wicker baskets to conceal their supplies—yet another detail to preserve the impressive, yet charming, ambiance of the property. The property utilizes underground pathways so that employees can stay out of sight.

Haven Riviera is unique in being a very walkable resort while still being a very large resort. Guests can easily walk from one end of the resort to the other in a few short minutes. Almost all entertainment and dining areas are conveniently located within the same main building. This means there is very little time or confusion with navigating to different activities and can also help keep you dry during bad weather.
