We were only here one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again. The interior courtyard is lovely as are the people who work there. It is within walking distance to the Zocalo and the little parks that surround it. Perfect for an afternoon and evening visit. Its always a pleasure to find places like these at... More

ECO-Hotel El Rey del Caribe was a wonderful surprise. After a relaxing tour around the Yucatan, we were not looking forward to spending our last day in busy, busy Cancun. But ECO-Hotel El Rey del Caribe, which is built around a jungle-like garden with lots of wildlife, is a serene, calm place. Staff were helpful and friendly and walking distance... More

We couldn't have been more pleased about our decision to stay at Hotel el Rey Del Caribe before moving out to a timeshare in the Hotel Zone.

We were absolutely not expecting this in Cancun. El Rey Del Caribe is a quiet, small and comfortable, and the service is fantastic. Our room was neat, clean, had a safe and a basic kitchenette. The only real downside was that the kitchenette didn't have pots or pans. All the rooms face in to the central courtyard, whose gardens are... More

Great location of the hotel, quite and relaxing. Overlooking to the sea. Leafy and stunning views. Its a breath of fresh air. The accommodation was exactly what I was looking for. The staff were very attentive and polite, always upbeat, and made the stay absolutely outstanding. The restaurant served the best Traditional Jamaican breakfast I've ever tried. Wonderful stay in...

We only stayed one night on our way back from Cuba, but wished we could have stayed more. Bright and clean, with a little kitchenette. Not too sure how near the beach if you're in Cancun for the beach. But the price was right. More

First and last night of our trip in Yucatan on the road of Mayas, we found this hotel perfect for our party of three adults. The interior garden makes us feeling outside of the city. Swimming pool is small but clean with clear water. Room and bathroom spotlessly clean. Breakfast included is fine, with good coffee for Mexico standard. For... More

Nice older colonial building on a courtyard with garden. Staff reluctantly helpful. The overworked waitress (New Year's day) did her best with limited resources (long wait for the breakfast, they had run out of half the menu items). The outdoor restaurant was charming enough that we didn't mind the long wait. The internet failed when we needed it most. The... More

My husband and I travel often to Mexico and usually stop in Cancun before traveling to Merida, or the Maya Riviera. And-- we scuba dive too, so it's just a 15 minute taxi to the Isla Mujeras ferry. Since we've going to Mexico since the mid-70's, we have both been completely bowled over by the development and really prefer to... More
