Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya – Adults Only

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya is an all-inclusive Karisma resort in Puerto Morelos, and guests must be 18. The Paradise rooms and swim-up suites sit beside the Oceanfront Infinity Pool Suite, the Beachfront Honeymoon Suite and the Oceanfront Chillout Suite.

Jacuzzis and soaking tubs

Some rooms have a jacuzzi indoors, and others have deep soaking tubs. All come with a private balcony or patio. Guests like how compact and new the resort feels, and how well it is kept.

Steaks, trattoria and brewery

JWB Steakhouse, Frank & Lola's Italian trattoria, the Landshark brewery and grill and The Boathouse make up the restaurants. Specialty tables need a reservation. Breakfast is a buffet with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes.

Bay, bars and the road out

The resort sits on Petempich Bay, where the beach strip is narrow, so the pools and the three pool bars take centre stage. Evenings bring billiards, karaoke and live music. The centre of Puerto Morelos is 2.1 km away, and Cancún airport is 22.5 km by paid shuttle.
