Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya

The short version

A beachfront brewery sets the tone at Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya, an adults-only all-inclusive on Bahía Petempich in Puerto Morelos. Craft beer made on site is included, a floating Avocado Boat serves tacos and margaritas on the water, and pickleball courts and a 10,000 sq ft spa fill the daytime. Look here for a friends' trip or a couple's break; the 355 suites include oceanfront swim-up studios.
