Beaches of soft white sand stretch for miles north and south of the resort and are perfect for those who like to hike at the water's edge.

There can be a little seaweed in the water immediately in front of the resort, but the ocean becomes clearer just a short walk further north.

A comprehensive range of water sports are available at the hotel, including a full service dive shop (with PADI certification courses offered), sailing, windsurfing and snorkeling.

The Puerto Morelos Reef park lies just 1,800 feet from the beach.
