If you're looking for the best of the best for your Mexican vacation, look no further than the Karisma Resorts in Riviera Maya. Specializing in high-end vacations, they coined the term "gourmet included" to distinguish themselves from your typical all-inclusive resorts found throughout Mexico. The Karisma Resorts are not your run of the mill all-inclusive resorts with the never ending buffet. The Karisma Resorts offer three brands, all five star, throughout the Riviera Maya, the hottest up-and-coming destination just south of Cancun.

There are four El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotels for guests ages 18 and older, one Generations Resort, which is an upscale family resort featuring one, two, and three-bedroom butler suites, and three Azul Hotels that cater to families, but are refined enough for and welcome guests of all ages.

A stay at a Karisma Resort is a foodie's dream come true with ala carte restaurants with rising star chefs serving the highest quality ingredients. The Karisma Resorts were the first brand in the Riviera Maya to offer true farm-to-table menus using their own on-property greenhouse, and of course have a number of gluten free and vegan options as well. But enough about the food, let's move on to the resorts.

Each of the resorts feature a range of luxurious accommodations, daily and nightly activity programs, full service concierge, live music and shows, non-motorized water sports, incredible pools, and so much more.

Here's a quick overview at what you can expect at each of these resorts:
