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

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 took the ADO bus from airport to downtown bus station for $4, walked less than a block to the hotel (on the other side of grocery store Commercial Mexicana from the bus... More
