Puerto Morelos is the closest Riviera Maya town to Cancun Airport. Most hotels are big all-inclusive resorts on the corridor along Highway 307 north and south of town; the town itself is a small fishing village with guesthouses, a pier and a protected reef good for snorkeling. It is a good choice if you want a short transfer and a quieter beach than Cancun.
