Best time: November through April provides the finest Riviera Maya luxury conditions, with the dry season's reliable sunshine, calm Caribbean waters, and the ancient Mayan archaeological sites at their most accessible.
Demand: Riviera Maya maintains North America's strongest Caribbean luxury resort demand, with peak winter season from December through April attracting maximum international arrivals. Easter week and Christmas create the year's most intense demand periods.
