Top 5 Wristband-Free Mayan Riviera Resorts
Frozen or frazzled Canadians fly to the magnificent Mayan Riviera by the jet load. One of the best ways to warm up and relax in Mexico is at its world-class resorts. The popular all-inclusive wristband system indicates what tier of service the wearer is entitled to (a different-coloured wristband might denote premium drink choices.) If you like the idea of being wristband-free, which leaves you free of package restrictions, then check out these Mayan Riviera resorts. Our Travel Expert Billie Girbav shares her top five.
