Punta Maroma, Mexico, Lodging
Along the coast of the Mayan Riviera is Punta Maroma, which is a paradise-like place on the Caribbean, integrating a string of sandy white beaches, sometimes with ragged limestone shorelines, and others where the jungle actually touches the sand. A sweet-water river from some subterranean source, flowing into the turquoise sea, is typical of this zone. Small hotels and cabins provide the basic comforts.
Riviera Maya is a tourism district following the highway 307 of Quintana Roo, Mexico. It historically started at Playa del Carmen and ended at Tulum pueblo, though the towns of Puerto Morelos to the north of Playa del Carmen and Felipe Carrillo Puerto inland are both currently being promoted as part of the Riviera Maya tourist corridor. It is famous for its all-inclusive resorts located along the highway, as Mayan Resorts, and smaller boutique hotels.

Riviera Maya, Mexico, Lodging
Riviera Maya is a tourism district following the highway 307 of Quintana Roo, Mexico. It historically started at Playa del Carmen and ended at Tulum pueblo, though the towns of Puerto Morelos to the north of Playa del Carmen and Felipe Carrillo Puerto inland are both currently being promoted as part of the Riviera Maya tourist corridor.
It is famous for its all-inclusive resorts located along the highway, as Mayan Resorts, and smaller boutique hotels located in Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
The terrain is flat, covered by low tropical jungle, and its coasts alongside the Caribbean provide many kilometers of powdery white sand beaches, inlets, bays, and mangrove swamps. As in all of the Yucatan Peninsula, there are no important above-ground rivers with the exception of the Rio Hondo, a navigable river on the border with Guatemala. The most important lagoons are Coba, North of Tulum, Bacalar to the Northeast of Chetumal, the State`s capital, and Chichancanab, between Santa Rosa and Polyuc. Sweetwater cenotes are abundant in the region, and were the original water sources for the ancient population centers of the Maya culture.

Tulum, Mexico, Lodging
Tulum (sometimes rendered as Tuluum) is a Pre-Columbian walled city of the Maya civilization located on the Caribbean Sea coast of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. There is also a modern town of the same name nearby, often called Tulum Pueblo.
The archaeological site is relatively compact (compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity), and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline (the so-called Mexican Riviera, surrounding Cancún) has made it a popular destination for tourists. Daily tour buses bring a constant stream of visitors to the site. The Tulum ruins are the third most visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. It is popular for the picturesque view of the Caribbean and a location just 120 km south of the popular beach resort of Cancún.
The tourist destination is now divided into three main areas: the archaeological site, the pueblo or town, and the hotel zone, or strip of beach lined with small cabanas.
Several years ago, Tulum Pueblo was a quiet village 2 km from the archaeological site, and tourism outside of the ruins was limited to a few small shops and simple cabanas on the beach. As of 2005 population of Tulum Pueblo has grown to over 10,000 permanent inhabitants. The hotel zone of boutique hotels on the Tulum beach has grown to over 40 small hotels, most of them cabanas built in the traditional Mayan style with thatched palm roofs. The hotel zone is mostly filled with tourists whereas Tulum Pueblo is mostly a Mexican town, with some tourists eating in the restaurants and bars at night.
