About Excellence Riviera Cancún

Excellence Riviera Cancún is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on the Puerto Morelos coastline, part of The Excellence Collection. It sits on the Carretera Federal 307 corridor south of the Cancún Hotel Zone, in the same quieter beach town covered by our Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya guide. The resort is built around a large free-form pool, swim-up suites, and an adults-only atmosphere aimed at couples and honeymooners rather than families.

Why Puerto Morelos Instead of the Hotel Zone

Puerto Morelos sits about 20 to 30 minutes south of the Cancún Hotel Zone, the same zone as Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya and several of the region’s newer adults-only openings. It trades Hotel Zone nightlife for a real fishing village, a protected reef just offshore, and a noticeably quieter pace, exactly what an adults-only, couples-focused resort like Excellence Riviera Cancún is built around.

Reserving Your Excellence Riviera Cancún Airport Transfer

Send your flight number when you book and we confirm the driver, the vehicle and a direct phone number before you fly. The Puerto Morelos exit comes up quickly once you are on Highway 307, which is why this is one of the shortest runs on our map despite sounding further away than the Hotel Zone. If your flight lands late the driver waits on the real arrival time, not the one printed on your booking.

Combine Your Airport Pickup with a Cenote Stop

Puerto Morelos sits close to some of the closest cenotes to Cancún. See our guide to the best cenotes near Cancún, or ask your driver about adding a stop on the way in or out.
