No. of Rooms: 41Just outside Playa del Carmen, Viceroy Riviera Maya is a beachside refuge extending into the tropical forest.
The smell of copal spices the air as you enter the Viceroy and wander through the jungle like pathways that lead to the secluded villas.
Upon arrival, you will be led directly to a spa area for a Mayan welcome greeting by the shaman, cleansing you of the stresses and strains of the outside world and welcoming you into this peaceful retreat to relax.
The villas have Maya style thatched roofs with private plunge pools, indoor and outdoor showers and hammocks to sway in. The soft wood furniture is complimented by beige, turquoise accessories as well as bright green mosaic lamps that add a playfulness to the design. The villas offer a cozy, privacy with lots of external space.
Head towards the beachfront to find the swimming pools and restaurants as well as the private beach club. Enjoy fresh Mexican-style seafood and a classic margarita at Coral restaurant, which overlooks the sea, or have snacks and drinks delivered directly to your sun lounger. Restaurant La Marea, offers fine, nighttime dining with an impressive wine list.
If you like staying active while on vacation, the air-conditioned gym with a view over the Caribbean Sea is perfect, or if you want to take relaxation to the next level you can partake in a traditional temazcal or sweat lodge experience with a local shaman.

VICEROY’S PROMISE OF CLEANLINESS
Health & Safety Plan
Viceroy has always strived to create the best experience for our guests. Now, more than ever, we’re taking that to heart with Viceroy’s Promise of Cleanliness.
This is not a mere aspiration. It’s an action plan. For the wellbeing of our guests, colleagues and communities, our promise is to put our passion and energy into notably increasing the standards of cleanliness at our hotels.
To deliver on this promise every day, each hotel’s General Manager and Health & Hygiene Ambassador will lead a Safety Committee program responsible for training, implementation and compliance. In addition, we’re closely monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization’s recommendations regarding COVID-19, and will continue to follow their guidelines, as well as those from local health departments.
Viceroy’s Promise of Cleanliness Seal, visible throughout public guest areas and also in the heart of house (“backstage”), is our outward way of saying how much we care about your safety.
