Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun

The short version

Four restaurants, four pools and 146 suites: that is the size of Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun, a beachfront family resort on Bahía Petempich in Puerto Morelos. Two of the pools face the ocean, and the Parakeets Kid's Club runs supervised activities for ages 4 to 12. Meals at any hour, drinks, tips, kayaks and snorkeling are all covered, and rooms go from premium guest rooms up to swim-up suites.
