They also have lounging chairs right on the beach for relaxing with a drink or watching the kids swim. There are showers upstairs for cleaning up after a long day at the beach. Food and drinks are great, and it is a quiet area so you will rarely be harassed by beach vendors or be over crowded, even during peak season.

Chichén Itzá is a world-famous complex of Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. A massive step pyramid known as El Castillo dominates the 6.5-sq.-km. ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s. Graphic stone carvings survive at structures like the ball court, Temple of the Warriors and the Wall of the Skulls. Nightly sound-and-light shows illuminate the buildings' sophisticated geometry.
