The resort is all-inclusive, which means that guests can enjoy everything the Spanish-style resort has to offer.

Travel to Banyan Mayakoba Riviera Maya

Located on the shore of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Banyan Mayakoba Riviera Maya can be accessed by the Cancun International Airport and a short shuttle ride. The resort is just 10 minutes away from Playa del Carmen, which provides couples with a fun place to spend a day off the resort. The resort has 132 private all-pool villas, each with a view of the Caribbean Sea. Couples can enjoy variety of spa treatments in one of 16 different treatment pavilions, however if couples spa treatments aren't your idea of a great vacation, the resort also has a golf course that takes advantage of three natural ecosystems: dense mangrove, jungle and sandy beaches.

Travel to El Dorado Maroma

The El Dorado Maroma is just 40 minutes south of the Cancun International Airport. It's reported to be one of the most romantic boutique resorts and is strictly adults only. Couples can choose from a number of different suites, including ones with Oceanside views, Jacuzzis and more. Guests can enjoy a beach butler service, which means they'll never be searching for a clean beach towel, new reading materials, cold drinks and snacks. If simply relaxing on the beach isn't enough, guests can take part in sport fishing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking and more.

Travel to Las Ventanas al Paraiso

Located just 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, Las Ventanas al Paraiso is one of the most exclusive (and expensive) resorts in the country. Couples can take advantage of every luxurious touch available, including marble bathrooms and even infinity-edge Jacuzzis in some rooms. If you're a couple who hates to travel without your beloved pet, you're in luck because dogs can receive gourmet meals and even massages. However, Fido isn't the only one who can get pampered. Human visitors can take tequila lessons, go out on a boat to look for whales, golf, play tennis or get massages of their own in the resort's spa.

These are only a few of the places couples can visit on romantic Mexico vacations -- by means this is no where near an all-inclusive list. Whether you're planning a once in a lifetime honeymoon or if you want to celebrate an anniversary, Mexico vacations can be the perfect way to relax and reconnect.
