Viva Maya by Wyndham

With a palm-lined beach and a long list of activities on offer, a stay at the Viva Maya by Wyndham blends relaxation with plenty of fun. This place drops you right on the powdery sands of Playacar’s beach. There’s a relaxing vibe here – rows of sunloungers line up for you to take your pick, and there’s plenty of shade courtesy of tall palm trees.

There’s plenty to get involved with at the hotel – in the daytime, try your hand at windsurfing or bring out your competitive side with a game of beach volleyball. Come evening, there’s a lively entertainment programme including themed party nights.

This is incredible value you just won't see advertised elsewhere
