As a travel agent, I recommend several guides and books to help you prepare for your trip to Riviera Maya and Mexico:
Travel guides:
Lonely Planet Cancun, Cozumel & the Yucatan – a comprehensive guide covering Riviera Maya, beaches, cenotes, and archaeological sites such as Tulum, Coba, and Chichen Itza.
Riviera Maya, Cancun & Cozumel – guides from the DK Eyewitness or Fodor’s collections, with maps, photos, and recommendations for restaurants and excursions.
Mexico (Lonely Planet) – for an overview of Mexican culture, gastronomy, and other regions you may wish to explore.
Culture and history books:
The Maya by Michael D. Coe – ideal for a deeper understanding of Mayan civilization.
Books about Mexican traditions and cuisine, to discover local dishes such as tacos, ceviche, and meals based on fresh fish and tropical fruits.
Practical resources:
Offline phone maps (Google Maps or Maps.me) with the Riviera Maya area downloaded before departure.
Digital guides and travel blogs focused on Riviera Maya, offering up-to-date recommendations for cenotes, snorkeling, theme parks (Xcaret, Xel-Há), and private tours.
If you wish, I can also suggest a sample daily itinerary combining relaxing days at the resort with excursions to Tulum, Chichen Itza, or cenotes, as well as romantic activities for two within Heaven at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.
