Living in the Riviera Maya: Here’s How I Explain the Real Differences Between Destinations

I’m Kev, and I help buyers understand how life actually feels across the Riviera Maya—beyond photos and marketing.

Why Riviera Maya Is Not One Lifestyle

Each destination along the coast attracts a different type of buyer and offers a different daily rhythm.

How I Compare Destinations for Buyers

  • Energy level
  • Convenience and services
  • Community and social life
  • Ownership reality

What Each Destination Feels Like

Cancun

International, convenient, city-meets-beach lifestyle.

Playa del Carmen

Cosmopolitan, walkable, energetic beach city.

Tulum

Slow living, wellness-focused, nature-driven.

Bacalar

Quiet, long-term, calm lagoon lifestyle.

Boutique Caribbean living without crowds.
