4- and 5-star hotels in Puerto Morelos
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Puerto Morelos, on Mexico's Riviera Maya. Every property here is an all-inclusive resort along the coast between Cancún and Playa del Carmen; use it to pick the one whose size, facilities and adult-only or family focus match your trip.
Staying in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos is a small Riviera Maya coastal town with a reef just offshore, which makes it a base for beach time, snorkelling and diving rather than for city sightseeing. The hotels on this shortlist are resorts spread along the coast around the town, on the highways that link Cancún and Playa del Carmen, so most guests stay on the property and use the beach and pools on site. All are 4- or 5-star, and the list splits between adult-only resorts such as Excellence Riviera Cancun, Breathless Riviera Cancun and Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya, and family resorts with kids' pools, babysitting and family rooms such as Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya, Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun and Dreams Sapphire. Couples looking for quiet and families travelling with children will find a match here; everyone else should note that these are large all-inclusive properties, not small town hotels.
