The Mexican Riviera, which runs along the Pacific coast of Mexico, offers travelers more than just white-sand beaches. The tropical cities that dot this coastline, such as Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Acapulco, also offer proximity to jungle landscapes and steep seaside cliffs. Visitors will find that this region has an abundance of all-inclusive resorts and hotels with private beaches. Almost all resorts on the Riviera coast are within minutes of a pristine golf course; in fact, several courses in this area were designed by Jack Nicklaus.
