The Argentines had been on vacation, said Jorge Vazquez Oropeza, secretary of civil protection for the municipality of Solidaridad.
Two other people were seriously injured and were airlifted to hospital by helicopter. Vazquez did not specify their nationality.
A combination of rain-soaked roadways and excessive speeds likely played a part in the crash, the official said.
The Riviera Maya is one of the region's most popular tourist destinations, featuring pristine beaches, archaeological ruins, upscale resorts and natural parks.
The Quintana Roo attorney general's office has opened an investigation into the causes of the accident.
