In April 2013 we stayed at the Rey del Caribe for one night when passing through Cancun so to be nearer the bus station and airport, and to try the restaurants in the old city. It is perfect and perhaps unique if you want some peace and quiet, and cool shade. The hotel grounds, the little pool and the view... More

I have been to the Cancun area several times. Ive done the big resort style in the Hotel Zone. The problem with that is it is soooo commercial. When I travel, I enjoy the local flavor. That is what you will get here. The staff is so warm and welcoming and the courtyard is lovely and tranquil. You are only... More

We stayed 3 nights in 2 different rooms and had 2 different experiences. We stayed for 2 nights when we first arrived in Cancun. Our first room was far better than the 2nd. The room was small, but functional--tiny kitchenette and plenty of space for luggage. The beds were fairly comfortable. The water pressure was ok for Mexico. On the... More

What a beautiful hotel near the bus station in Cancun. I flew into Cancun. Took the ADO bus to this Hotel and thought I was in heaven.

I've stayed at this beautiful hotel three times now and have enjoyed each stay immensely. The rooms are well-accomodated and comfortable. The hotel staff are very friendly and always helpful, and the food is delicious.
