As hard as it is to resist lazing in Maroma’s hammocks all day, guests would be missing out not to explore beyond resort grounds as many archaeological treasures are on the nearby Riviera Maya, including Tulum, Coba and the other-worldly Chichén Itza. 

These three most famous Mayan sites are splendid remains of a culture rich in astronomy (priests used the tops of temples and pyramids as observatories), mathematics (the Maya had a calendar and were among the inventors of the concept of zero) and spirituality. 

Maroma’s waters are superb for snorkeling, scuba and deep sea diving, and resort staff can arrange any type of outing for resort guests.
