The experience of our 4 day stay at El Rey Del Carribe Hotel was definitely a highlight of our Cancun 9 day stay. The architecture and landscaping of this oasis exudes a cultural ambiance of a time gone by. The ecological efforts made to assist our environment are admirable and did in no way inconvenience us. We appreciated the Mexican,... More

Loved the vibe of this little oasis. The whole staff started the day with a spot of tranquil yoga by the pool which must be one of the secrets to ensuring the happy and helpful service we received. Great value for money and genuine character. More

Basically the hotel smells like a cesspit as a result of these "fancy" toilets they have installed. Consequently, you wouldn't go near the pool. At 3am a dog was barking so loud for an hour that it woke up the whole hotel. We also found that we could not adjust our aircon so were either sweltering or shivering. Not so... More

Dear guest: We are very sorry for the inconvenient you have with the smell and the dog. Unfortunately, the dog was outside the hotel, and in 29 year that the hotel has been working this is the first time we have this problem, we are very sorry for this. About the smell, is also unusual, this smell was coming because... More

I have been visiting Quintana Roo for the past 30 years. The changes have been a little more than overwhelming for me as I liked the out of the way and the remote nature I had found down here in Q Roo. The development of Costa Maya and the bustle of Cancun are a little much for me, About 12... More

This hotel was an absolute savior for our family. Plans changed for us and we ended up in Cancun 3 days more than we expected and wanted to avoid the hotel strip. We had difficulty finding Hotel el Rey( since we were driving and nothing made sense) the owner graciously came and met us when we were lost. We got... More

After a long trip to get to Mexico this is the perfect place to hide for a few days before you continue on with your adventure. Located almost right across the street from the ADO main bus station, it is an easy walk. Was very quiet .... no traffic noise. Slept well in a large comfortable room. Small but nice... More

If you're not interested in resort hotels or lesser accommodation on noisy streets, but enjoy green, leafy tranquil environments and sympathetic human scale architecture, this is THE place in Cancun. A bit away from the beaches but close to the bus station, so very convenient for travellors, El Rey de Caribe provides all this and more in what is actually... More

Hotel is well placed. Within walking distance of the ADO bus station. Lovely setting with central garden and pool. King size bed, kitchenette and fridge and safe. Wifi really didn't work. The hotel organised the cab to airport and early morning wake up call. We left too early so didn't have breakfast. Plenty of restaurants in the area. More

We absolutely love Hotel del Rey -- super convenient, lovely people, quiet beautiful oasis in an otherwise heinous town (just fly in and get out). Kids love the jungle courtyard and pool. We have stayed there three times over the last three years, and will continue to do so. Only suggestion for improvement is better coffee at breakfast. More
