Haven Riviera CancĂșn Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Haven Riviera Cancun is a low-rise, adults-only resort organized around a central lobby and pool hub with residential wings in numbered buildings along the coast. Guests mainly choose between quiet horseshoe-pool buildings, social main-pool buildings, or elevated Serenity Club oceanfront sections, while accounting for mangrove-path walking distances and construction near the northern and southern edges.
| Area / Zone | Best For | Key Tip | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Building and Gastronomic Corridor | Central access to dining, bars, lobby and vertical elevators. | Use elevators and ramps here to drop to pool level. | High foot traffic and some noise around Limes and Haven Bar. |
| Northern Wing, Building 1 | Quieter internal vibe and distance from main pool activities. | Pick south facing rooms to reduce construction views and noise. | Closest to new family resort works along northern boundary line. |
| Sanctuary Core, Buildings 2 and 3 | Relaxed stays beside the Quiet Horseshoe Pool, near restaurants. | Request swim outs or upper floors facing inward over quiet water. | Limited direct ocean feel compared with frontline Serenity Club blocks. |
| Social Epicenter, Building 4 and Main Pool | Guests who want DJ music, activities and fast bar service nearby. | Choose higher floors for stronger ocean views above pool activity. | Loudest zone, with daylong noise from entertainment and swim up bar. |
| Southern Interface, Buildings 5 and 6 | Seclusion seeking guests preferring foliage heavy, low traffic accommodation wings. | Target Building 6 only if you value greenery more than water views. | Reported construction impact near Building 5 and heavy foliage blocking vistas. |
| Serenity Club Zone and Infinity Pool | Premium stays with horizon facing pool, Vistas restaurant and lounge access. | Map Serenity buildings when booking to combine club benefits with central location. | Club areas feel more formal, and non Serenity friends cannot join easily. |
| Mangrove Paths, Bridges and Beachfront Strip | Scenic walks, photo stops and reaching Mistral beach grill and loungers. | Allow extra time from lobby, especially with mobility issues or heels. | Humid, occasionally slippery surfaces and beach often affected by sargassum. |

In 2025 the Haven Riviera Cancun layout remains anchored by the central lobby building, Quiet and Main pool districts, and numbered coastal accommodation wings. Guests still traverse mangrove boardwalks between lobby, pools and beach, with golf carts assisting longer routes. The main new factor is construction of a family resort north of Building 1 and near Building 5, making central buildings 2, 3 and 4 safer bets for views and noise.

2025 Haven Riviera CancĂșn Map Guide

How is Haven Riviera Cancun laid out across the property, including its main buildings and zones?
Haven Riviera Cancun runs in a beachfront line of six room blocks around a central lobby, pool hub and mangrove paths linking beach and spa.
The resort layout follows an east west coastal line, with the Main Building sitting centrally behind a protected mangrove buffer. This Main Building holds the lobby, most restaurants, bars and shops, and it connects down by elevators and ramps to the lower level where pools and paths branch toward the ocean. From this hub, landscaped walkways and bridges cross the mangroves to reach pool decks and the beach strip.
Numbered accommodation buildings 1 to 6 run along the shoreline, forming quiet northern, central sanctuary and livelier southern social zones. The Quiet Horseshoe Pool sits between Buildings 2 and 3, the Main Pool and Docks bar sit closer to Building 4, and Serenity Club areas cluster in the best oceanfront positions.
Where are the restaurants and bars located within Haven Riviera Cancun?
Most restaurants sit in the central Main Building, with extra Serenity and beach venues, while bars ring the lobby, pools and oceanfront.
Dining and bar venues cluster in a few easy to understand zones around the Main Building and pool decks.
- Main Building, upper lobby level – Olios, Satsu, Agua Bendita and Vora Mar form the Ă la carte âfine dining rowâ just off the lobby and elevator banks.
- Main Building, lower level – Flavours buffet opens toward the pools, with Mocaccino coffee shop near the lobby circulation route.
- Serenity Club zone above Quiet Pool – Vistas restaurant sits on an elevated terrace for club guests, overlooking the circular Quiet or Oasis Pool and ocean.
- Beach and pool edge – Mistral grill serves casual food near the beach and Horseshoe Pool, while Docks swim up bar anchors the Main Pool.
- Lobby bar cluster – Haven Bar, Limes sports bar, Serenity Lounge and MoĂ«t Corner are grouped around the central lobby and nearby terraces.
Where are Haven Riviera Cancunâs main pools situated around the resort?
Three pool zones run from the center toward the sea, with quiet, social and Serenity Club infinity pools stepping down toward the beach.
The pools sit in a sequence between the Main Building and the shoreline.
- Main Pool, social hub – Lies centrally below the Main Building near Building 4, with the Docks swim up bar and daytime entertainment.
- Quiet or Horseshoe Pool – Sits just off the central axis between Buildings 2 and 3, surrounded by palms and low noise, with its own bar.
- Serenity Club Infinity Pool – Occupies the prime frontline strip near the beach, slightly elevated for horizon views and reserved for Serenity guests.
Where are the Serenity Club buildings located compared with regular rooms at Haven Riviera Cancun?
Serenity Club rooms sit in the best oceanfront lines of Buildings 1, 4 and 5 near the Serenity pool, while regular suites fill the rest of 1 to 6.
| Aspect | Serenity Club locations | Regular room locations |
|---|---|---|
| Buildings | Prime oceanfront bands in Buildings 1, 4 and 5. | Spread through all buildings, especially 2, 3 and 6 plus rear stacks. |
| Relation to pools | Closest to Serenity infinity pool and often front row to the sea. | Closer to Quiet Horseshoe Pool, Main Pool or garden areas. |
| Proximity to dining | Short walk to Vistas, Serenity Lounge and lobby bar cluster. | Best access to Flavours, Mistral, Main Pool bar and central venues. |
| Noise and vibe | Quieter, more insulated, âresort within a resortâ feel. | Mix of quiet (2 and 3) and lively (4 near Main Pool) environments. |
Serenity Club essentially pulls a premium oceanfront stripe through the same six building frames, while standard categories occupy more set back or side facing corridors and garden lines behind them.
Which buildings and room locations at Haven Riviera Cancun offer the best views, quiet, and honeymoon-level privacy?
For honeymoon quiet and big views, target Serenity oceanfront suites in Buildings 2, 3 or 4 and avoid construction exposed 1 north side and 5.
For honeymoon level privacy you solve for three things at once, view corridor, noise exposure, and construction distance.
- Serenity Club Romance Ocean Front Swim Out suites form the top tier, giving horizon views and strong separation from foot traffic.
- Buildings 2 and 3, facing the Quiet Horseshoe Pool or ocean, balance calm acoustics with short walks to dining.
- In Building 1, choose south facing Serenity rooms and avoid ground swim outs near social meeting spots and construction to the north.
- Building 4 higher floors give the strongest views, but activity around the Main Pool makes them better for social couples than light sleepers.
- Avoid Building 5 during active works and Building 6 if an uninterrupted ocean view matters more than a lush, jungle like feel.
How far is the walk from the Haven Riviera Cancun lobby to the beach?
The walk from the main lobby to Haven Riviera Cancunâs beach area typically takes about 5 to 7 minutes along gently sloping mangrove paths.
From the upper lobby level, guests use elevators or ramps to drop down to the pool and garden level, then follow paved walkways and small bridges across the mangrove buffer toward the shoreline. The route forms a gentle S shaped line rather than a straight shot, so it feels like a short scenic stroll rather than direct beachfront access.
For most guests the distance is comfortable, but it is not an immediate lobby to sand transition. Anyone with mobility limits or heavy beach gear should factor in this 5 to 7 minute walk and consider using the resort golf cart shuttle or a rented mobility scooter, since all main connections are step free but still spread out.
What are the main transportation options from Cancun Airport to Haven Riviera Cancun?
Most guests use pre booked private transfers or shared shuttles, with taxis as a backup and no practical public bus option.
The Cancun Airport to resort trip is short, roughly 15 to 20 minutes by road, and most visitors choose one of three approaches:
- Private transfer – Pre arranged car or van is the most comfortable and predictable, ideal for couples or small groups.
- Shared shuttle – Cheaper per person, but may involve waits at the airport and extra hotel stops.
- Airport taxi – Fast but often the most expensive, especially without pre negotiation or package pricing.
Public ADO buses do not run directly into the resort, and walking out to the highway is not advised.
How far is Haven Riviera Cancun from downtown Cancun, Xcaret, and nearby golf courses and attractions?
Haven Riviera Cancun sits about 30 to 40 minutes from downtown Cancun, 60 to 75 minutes from Xcaret, and most golf or attractions are 30 to 60 minutes by car.
Distances are easiest to plan in terms of drive times from the resort.
- Downtown Cancun – About 30 km away, usually 30 to 40 minutes by taxi, with one way fares often around 60 to 80 USD.
- Xcaret Park – Roughly 60 km south, around 60 to 75 minutes by car, with taxis commonly priced 80 to 100 USD one way.
- Playa del Carmen – Around 45 km away, typically 45 to 50 minutesâ drive and about 67 USD by taxi one way.
- Nearby golf and attractions – Courses and parks sit along the same Cancun to Riviera Maya corridor, generally within similar 30 to 60 minute drive ranges; most guests use pre booked transfers or taxis arranged via the concierge.
Where can guests find the current activities and entertainment schedule at Haven Riviera Cancun?
Guests check the My Haven Experience app for live activity schedules, backed up by printed boards near the pool concierge area.
Haven runs activities on a digital first model. The primary source for the daily and weekly schedule is the My Haven Experience smartphone app, which lists times and locations for yoga, workshops, fitness classes and evening entertainment. Installing this before arrival makes it easier to plan days around preferred activities.
For guests who prefer not to use a phone by the pool, the team usually posts the same schedule on physical boards near the Pool Concierge or activity hub. Staff in this area can also confirm last minute changes due to weather or special events.
How does Haven Riviera Cancunâs layout and size compare with Secrets Riviera Cancun?
Haven is larger and more spread along the coast, while Secrets Riviera Cancun is a compact boutique wing connected to lively Breathless next door.
Haven vs Secrets is about standalone sprawl versus compact shared complex.
| Resort | Rooms and scale | Map layout feel | Relation to other resorts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haven Riviera Cancun | About 435 suites, medium large footprint. | Long coastal line with six blocks, big central hub and mangrove walks. | Self contained adults only enclave on its own parcel. |
| Secrets Riviera Cancun | Around 164 rooms, much smaller. | Tight U shaped map that reads as a single wing. | Physically attached to Breathless, sharing much nightlife energy. |
On the ground, Haven feels like a broader sanctuary with more walking between zones, while Secrets reads as an intimate club style section that borrows pools and venues from its louder neighbor.
Which resort has better beach access, Haven Riviera Cancun or Excellence Playa Mujeres?
Excellence Playa Mujeres clearly wins for swimmable, turquoise beach access, while Haven Riviera Cancun leans on pools due to rougher coast.
| Aspect | Haven Riviera Cancun | Excellence Playa Mujeres |
|---|---|---|
| Sand and color | Darker sand, more natural debris along this stretch. | Classic white sand with postcard style appearance. |
| Water clarity | Often murky with brown film from seabed and sargassum. | Typically clear, calm and bright turquoise. |
| Seagrass impact | Regular sargassum, tractors clean but water stays mixed. | More sheltered, less seaweed and smoother entry. |
| Swimmability | Technically swimmable but many guests avoid it. | Comfortable daily swimming for most guests. |
| Resort focus | Heavy investment in heated pools and infinity zones. | Strongly beach centric days with good pool backup. |
For travelers who prioritize daily ocean swims and picture perfect shoreline, Excellence Playa Mujeres is the safer choice; Haven suits guests happy treating the beach as a scenic backdrop and using pools as the main water playground.
Which routes and areas at Haven Riviera Cancun are wheelchair accessible or step-free?
Most public areas are step free via ramps, elevators and paved paths, but distances are long so many wheelchair users use carts or scooters.
Most of the main circulation loop is designed to be step free.
- Main Building vertical routes – Elevators and ramps link the upper lobby with the lower pool and garden level for direct, step free transfers.
- Paths to Buildings 1 to 6 – Wide, paved walkways connect all accommodation blocks with the lobby and pools and are suitable for wheelchairs.
- Pool and garden circuits – The Main Pool and Quiet Horseshoe Pool are ringed by flat paths, making it easy to roll between loungers, bars and restrooms.
- Serenity Club access – Serenity Lounge, Vistas restaurant and the Serenity Pool are reachable via elevators and paved routes from the lobby core.
- Spa and fitness access – MySenses Spa and the gyms sit on accessible levels reached through elevators rather than stairs.
- Longer distance caution – The resort is sprawling, so guests who tire easily often rely on golf cart shuttles or rented mobility scooters to bridge gaps.
What is the internal layout of the MySenses Spa at Haven Riviera Cancun?
MySenses Spa centers everything around a hydrotherapy âWater Journey,â with thermal rooms, contrast stations, vitality pool and relaxation areas.
Inside MySenses, circulation flows around the Water Journey rather than scattered treatment rooms. Guests first reach gender separated locker areas, which connect to the Thermal Suite with sauna, aroma steam and Hamman style steam room. From there, the route moves through contrast elements like the ice fountain and cold mist shower, then into the large dynamic vitality pool with jets, cascades and bubble zones.
A quiet Rest and Relaxation lounge and beauty salon sit off this core, so most spa time naturally orbits the hydrotherapy circuit.
Are any parts of Haven Riviera Cancun currently under construction, and where are they on the property?
Active construction for a new family resort sits beyond Building 1 and near Building 5, so central Buildings 2 to 4 are safest from noise.
The current works relate to a new Hipotels family friendly resort on adjacent land. Activity concentrates just beyond the northern boundary by Building 1 and in the southern interface near Building 5, so rooms at those edges can experience daytime construction noise and views of cranes or worksites from some balconies. Impact is strongest for boundary facing rooms and lower floors closest to the work lines.
Guests who want to minimize disruption should request central or inward facing rooms in Buildings 2, 3 or 4, ideally on higher floors. These sit away from the active edges and keep sightlines focused on pools, gardens and ocean rather than neighboring construction.
What are the safest and most scenic running or jogging routes within Haven Riviera Cancun?
Safest, most scenic runs follow the resortâs paved loops around buildings, pools and mangroves, with short repeatable circuits at off peak times.
Within Haven, think short scenic loops rather than long continuous paths.
- Lobby to beach axis – Jog from the Main Building down ramps toward the pools and beach, using the central mangrove path for a shaded, gently sloped route.
- Mangrove bridge loop – Create a circuit crossing the boardwalk bridges between buildings and pools, repeating laps for distance while enjoying foliage and water views.
- Pool perimeter laps – Run quiet early morning circles around the Main Pool and Horseshoe Pool, when loungers and activity teams are not yet set up.
- Building 2 to 4 corridor – Use the wide paved paths linking these central blocks for safer straight segments, watching for golf carts and wet patches after rain.
