Beach & Pool

Beach access - shared

Seaweed risk: moderate / high

The Riviera Maya is a high exposure zone. Sargassum is a seasonal phenomenon, typically most common between April and October, with peak months from May to August. The winter months (November-February) generally offer the clearest beaches, though this is not guaranteed.

Access via complimentary shuttle to a private beach club located between Riu Palace Riviera Maya and Viva Wyndham Azteca. The beach club has its own pool, buffet/snack bar, hammocks, and loungers.

4 pools - main pool, relax pool (adults-only), kids pool, beach club pool, whirlpool
