"If you want to get out of the country without sitting through a long-haul flight, head to Viceroy Riviera Maya. The resort is all about igniting a spark with its numerous romantic amenities. Their private luxury villas come with romantic plunge pools, and you can arrange experiences like turndown with a bottle of sparkling wine, a butler to set the stage for romance with candles and music, a couples massage, or a private three-course dinner on the beach. 'The private-pool villas feel like living in your own little slice of jungle, and the beachfront pool is a great hangout spot,' said T+L editorial director Nina Ruggiero after a 2021 stay." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Staying at the Viceroy Riviera Maya is a vacation in the truest sense of the word: Palapa villas with lots of wood and rattan (many with private pools and outdoor showers) are connected by meandering pathways that fan out to lush, fragrant gardens. And it’s all fronted by seven miles of glorious, white sand beaches. Just remember that you are in the jungle, so be sure to keep your eye out for wily spider monkeys."
