HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT - This haven is a little piece of heaven that welcomes LGBTQ guests
 
By Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong
 
 
If we could build the perfect resort in the perfect location with the perfect atmosphere, HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT would be it. The brand new $100 million oceanfront peaceful sanctuary made us feel like a sliver of Mexico coastline had been reserved just for us.
 
HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort located between Cancun and Riviera Maya. This isn’t your standard party hotel, HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT is a peaceful, luxurious hideaway. This haven is a little piece of heaven.
 
We were invited to experience this amazing Mexican resort just seven months after it opened. We have been to the Mexican Riviera many times and have explored Mayan sites, nightlife areas and other hotels but we have never experienced a resort so stylish, welcoming and relaxing. We never felt the desire to leave the property!

Mauricio Levya the Mexico and Latin America Director told us, “We call our design Mexico Modern. Other resorts have someone with a microphone announcing things all day. We create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We have a large, private beach. We have 333 suites. All of our dining and entertainment venues are in one area, not spread all over. We welcome all adult guests. We have many gay guests and gay employees. We welcome gay weddings. We offer the perfect wedding venue.”
 
Ernesto Luna the Managing Director told us, “I think we have an excellent product for the LGBTQ market. In just six months, we have hosted multiple gay weddings.”
 
As a gay, married couple ourselves, we can testify that HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT is LGBTQ welcoming and celebrating. We met at least a dozen LGBTQ couples during our stay and had wonderful experiences with hetero couples as well. HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT seems to generate an atmosphere of peace, joy and relaxation.
It’s not all about relaxation though. The Haven pool is for relaxing but the main pool has a DJ and is more energetic. Several times, musicians came out onto risers in the pool and performed! There are four restaurants, a café, six bars, 2 swim-up bars and a nightclub!
 
Moon’s Cabaret & Lounge Is everything you could hope for in a nightclub. The female vocalist from the Dominican Republic flawlessly covered Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera note for note along with songs from Burlesque, The Greatest Showman, Chicago and more.
 
There are also 3 outdoor pools, a hot tub, yoga classes, a tennis court, plus a spa.
Jelena Ilic the Haven Spa Director told us, “My Senses Spa is here to bring you relaxation, peace and a bit of heaven at Haven! Our services help replace and flush the bad from your body and allow the good to come in.”
 
Jelena led us through a world-class hydro-therapy routine, ice plunges, saunas and massages that invigorated us from head to toe.

We were happy to try the fabulous dining venues and bars at HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT ranging from fine dining experiences to toes-in-the-sand hot dogs and burgers!

VISTAS POOL BAR
Located at the resort’s expansive Havens Pool, our Vistas Pool Bar features swim-up seating as well as shaded outdoor seating and serves refreshing drinks, beer and wine. With spectacular ocean views, Vistas is a perfect cooling off respite while enjoying a sun-drenched day by the pool.

Our suite was luxurious and comfortable with an amazing ocean view.  They call it “an ultra-luxury fusion of sophisticated design with the five-star amenities and personalized service expected from the world’s best all-inclusive resorts. Within each of our 333 suites, the splendor of our oceanfront setting is reflected in upscale Mexican décor, ocean or garden views and indulgences like whirlpool tubs, aromatherapy menus and plush King beds with personal pillow menus. “
 
And…we had our own butler! 

WEDDING & ROMANCE PACKAGES

We cannot imagine a better choice for a destination wedding. HAVEN RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT is such high quality in every area that their weddings are equally amazing.  Mauricio Levya the Mexico and Latin America Director took us to the photography office where we viewed wedding videos and photos. They were spectacular! One of their photographers won several nationwide contests. They have “crafted three unique wedding packages that will make your special day a truly memorable event. Choose the package that best suits your style and taste and leave the rest to our experienced wedding coordinator.“  https://www.havenresorts.com/weddings.html
