Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún 5* spreads along a pristine stretch of white sand, where low-rise pavilions open onto palm-lined gardens and sparkling pools. Open terraces frame views of the Caribbean, while the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant lap of waves create a calming rhythm across the resort. Interiors combine natural textures with subtle, sun-washed colours, inviting guests to relax and absorb the harmony of the surroundings.

Beyond the resort, the Riviera Cancún offers a world of sensory experiences. Guests can snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, explore the calm waters on a paddleboard, or wander through the streets of Puerto Morelos, where local markets and the scent of freshly cooked seafood give a sense of place. Evenings cast a warm glow across the horizon, blending the sound of waves with the vibrant colours of a Caribbean sunset.

The Junior Ocean View Suite opens onto a view of the turquoise Caribbean, where sunlight shifts across the water. Soft, sun-washed colours and tactile materials inside create a serene retreat, while gentle sea breezes carry hints of salt and tropical flora, offering a calming, restorative atmosphere.

The Junior Pool View Suite overlooks the glimmering pool from generous windows that let in sunlight and warmth. Muted tropical tones and soft, inviting fabrics create a soothing interior, while the faint scent of the surrounding gardens enhances the sense of tranquillity and indulgence throughout this poolside retreat.

This is an all inclusive stay. Your breakfast, lunch, and evening meal will be served in the main restaurant, with a selection of snacks and drinks. Please see the ‘details’ tab for more information.

Sunlight glints across five shimmering pools, their surfaces reflecting the sway of palms and the deep blue of the Caribbean sky. The children’s pool hums with playful energy, while the Star Prestige Swimming Pool offers a more tranquil refuge, where the soft lap of water creates a soothing rhythm. Steps away, the warm sand and gentle waves of the beach invite quiet strolls or moments of pure relaxation.

Inside the wellness centre, scented oils and soft music accompany massages and treatments that restore and calm. The  fitness centre provides bright, airy spaces for energising workouts, while tennis courts and water sports blend activity and enjoyment in a serene, restorative setting.
