Destinations
Riviera Maya: from Puerto Morelos to Tulum for your group.
Blue Dreams DMC meets your group at Cancun airport and arranges transportation, hotels, tours and events in Playa del Carmen, Mayakoba, Akumal and Tulum.
About the destination
A stretch of coast between Puerto Morelos and Tulum.
The Riviera Maya runs along the coast of Quintana Roo, from Puerto Morelos to Tulum, and is reached through Cancun International Airport (CUN). It is a common destination for weddings, incentives, conferences and agency series, with hotels spread across Playa del Carmen, Mayakoba, Puerto Aventuras, Akumal, Tulum and Bahía Príncipe.
Each zone has its own character: Playa del Carmen mixes resort and town life; Mayakoba and Puerto Aventuras are residential zones with a marina; Akumal is known for its sea turtles; Tulum combines beach, ruins and jungle.

Attractions
What the group's program can include.
The region is dotted with cenotes: freshwater sinkholes and caverns open to snorkeling and diving, many of them inside private jungle reserves.
Off Akumal beach, sea turtles can often be seen feeding close to the surface, one of the area's best-known attractions.
Tulum has the only Maya archaeological site built on a cliff above the Caribbean Sea, with a beach at the foot of the ruins. Farther south, Bacalar is known as the Lagoon of Seven Colors for the different shades of blue and turquoise in its water.
A short ferry ride off Playa del Carmen, the island of Cozumel is known for its coral reefs and its snorkeling and diving spots.

Culture and season
Dates to keep in mind.
In November, Playa del Carmen hosts the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival, with concerts on the beach. In late October and early November, the region also observes Hanal Pixán, the Maya Day of the Dead tradition. Dates vary each year, so check before setting the group's program.
Transfers between venues
From the hotel to the event, to dinner and back to the airport.
When a program combines a hotel, an event venue, a group dinner and a departure from Cancun airport, Blue Dreams DMC coordinates every leg with the same fleet and the same bilingual drivers, even between zones as far apart as Tulum and Playa del Carmen.
