Riviera Maya is an "area" and is the stretch of beach south of Cancun all the way down to Tulum along the Yucatan Peninsula. In order to get to Riviera Maya you fly into Cancun airport. There are many transfer companies that then bus or taxi you down to your hotel in Riviera Maya. It is a very long stretch of area with multiple towns along it, including Playa del Carmen, Playa, Puerto Morelas and Tulum. The hotels in the Riviera Maya tend to be under 5 stories high and some are spread out along acres, while others are small and intimate. Most resorts in Riviera Maya are All-Inclusive because there aren't many restaurants except for in the towns. Cancun has more high rise hotels and more nightlife.

Would you travel to Cancun?

Yes, I would travel to Cancun, or even the Riviera Maya just south of Cancun. You have very little to worry about and it is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Cancun is characterized by more high rise All-Inclusive hotels on the beach, whereas the hotels in Riviera Maya tend to be under 5 stories high and more spread out. Some are also more intimate. I wouldn't worry about drugs or h1n1 if that's what you are thinking. I would go vacation to Mexico every month if I could.
