Acapulco
Acapulco is back. In the 1980s and ’90s, many travelers had written off the “Pearl of the Pacific” as a tacky vestige of Love Boat-era excess and Spring Break hedonism. But after a billion-dollar makeover and an influx of investors, Acapulco is enjoying a second life as an upscale retreat for savvy Mexican and international tourists. See Details

Cancún
Cancún morphed from tiny jungle fishing village to major tourist destination within a few decades, and it continues to be one of the most popular – and most visually spectacular – places in Mexico. Located on the Yucatán peninsula, Cancún and its surrounding areas are a Caribbean vacationer’s nirvana. See Details

Cozumel
The coastal island of Cozumel is arguably the top diving destination in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors from around the world flock to this scuba and snorkeling oasis 12 miles off the coast of Cancún to explore the 20-mile Mayan Reef, a sunken paradise of crystal, turquoise-blue water, brilliant tropical fish and unspoiled coral.

Cabo San Lucas is the party town, San José del Cabo is quaint and quiet, and the strip of coast in between is fertile soil for some of the most extravagantly luxurious resorts in Mexico and some of the world's best golf courses.

Now, this town acts as a gateway to the resorts of the Riviera Maya, where secluded beaches, tropical jungles and mysterious Mayan ruins provide the perfect backdrop for the ultimate escapist vacation.

Puerto Vallarta is one of those rare tourist destinations that truly deserves its popularity. It does a little bit of everything and does it all very well.
