For many, a Mexican getaway consists of a lively resort located in the heart of Hotel Zone in Cancun.
However, just north of Cancun’s bustling streets, you’ll discover Costa Mujeres, a charming, pristine peninsula surrounded by aquamarine waters and white sandy beaches as far as the eye can see.
While you’ll still be able to enjoy the vibrancy of Cancun, you’ll also get to enjoy some much-needed R&R without the hustle and bustle of the downtown strip.
Costa Mujeres is also home to the recently opened all-inclusive Riu Dunamar, but rest assured this is not your typical wristband wearing, subpar-food type of all-inclusive resort.
Not only will this resort exceed your expectations with its lush grounds, but its friendly staff and excellent amenities will make you never want to leave.

Located 30 miles from Cancun, the 740-room resort provides vacation-goers with postcard-worthy beach views and faces the beautiful Isla Mujeres (Island of Women).
The 5-star resort boasts all the amenities you need for a blissful escape from the city, including five oceanfront pools, five restaurants, the Renova Spa complete with outdoor jacuzzis and a steam room, and five bars (including swim-ups) where you’ll never be found with an empty glass.
Unlike other Riu resorts, the Riu Dunamar gives off more of a boutique hotel vibe rather than an all-inclusive resort thanks to its light colour palette and modern decor.
