People hear Cancun, and it brings up images of debauched fraternity guys and endless loud parties. But it is far more diverse than people think. Luxury and romance now take center stage over drunken orgies (but it that is what you are looking for, I have some ideas for you, haha) Now the Riviera Maya and Cancun call honeymooners to their golden shores. Gorgeous beaches, delicious cuisine, and the best luxury resorts in the entire world all combine to make the area one of the top honeymoon destinations years after year. Here are my sexiest honeymoon destinations in the Riviera Maya and Cancun.
