Riviera Maya, Mexico. Photographs by Richard L Middleton, www.greatriver.com
The all-inclusive resorts of Mexico's Riviera Maya offer a perfect blend of sun, luxury, birding, and cultural and natural history depth to call us back again and again. Two weeks was not long enough when there are neighboring beaches, Mayan ruins, world class heritage sites and tropical birding all within the reach of a local community transport. Oh yes, and great snorkeling/diving opportunities (I saw my first turtles grazing on sea grass in near by Akumel Bay!) We found that the GRAND SIRENIS HOTEL offered all the above right within the resort grounds! If you go, fly into the airport near Playa del Carmen (Cozumel is just off shore) and catch either a private taxi or take the hotel shuttle on to your chosen destination.

Because the shore here is mostly limestone or fossilized coral, there are not sweeping sand beaches like those of the Dominican Republic. Nor is there non-stop development or a constant parade of beach walkers. Instead, the promise is a little bit of solitude and a variety of natural landscapes.
