We arrived expecting a luxury, ecological resort. We found gecko droppings throughout our room, mediocre food, poorly maintained pool and deck, and anoverpriced estuary tour ($450 for our group of 6). They "solved" the problem of the gecko droppings by spraying the palapa roof with "non-toxic" spray which resulted in stunning and killing the geckos -- 14 of them dropped... more

very beautiful detached bungalows. comfortable seats inside and outside. we loved it here very much, but wondered why we couldn't have diner / breakfast outside. well, because of the mosquitos. we were here in january and there were not many of them (they said) but enough to stay inside. the dinner was very good (but if you don't like cheese,... more

We just returned from a four night stay at Eco Paraiso. Although many of the previous reviews on this website (and the hotel's own website) made Eco sound blissful, we most definitely did not find it so . True, the beach was, without a doubt, the most unspoiled beach we have ever been on (we have traveled throughout the Caribbean... more

Eco Paraiso was splendid. Excellent service and who can complain about several miles of beach shared with a few dozen guests. For the Resort component, the meals were fantastic and we would recommend doing the full service including dinner if you are only there for a few days. Each day was a different menu and the chefs would even slightly... more

Xixim is a unique hotel located (roughly) on the opposite corner to Cancún on the Yucatán peninsula. It is a truly beautiful place. My friends, mother and I were amazed at the extent of the beach, which is not as clean from plants etc. as beaches in large resort but is all for you to enjoy. Kayaking in the afternoon,... more

We had a delightful stay at Eco Paraiso. We found it to be a restful hotel with a mision in conservation. The rooms are simple but well thought, the restaurant serves tasty meals and the cook was very willing to accomodate requests. The staff was eager to constantly be of help. The visit to the nature reserve most instructive, (do... more

My husband and I stayed at Eco Paraiso for our honeymoon for seven nights. Some days were better than others, but I would definitely not recommend staying as long as we did. When the weather is nice, its great. When the weather is not nice, there isn't a whole lot to do. There is a TV and pool and pingpong... more

This was a vacation steeped in Mayan history, lush ecology, healthy and delicious dining, and spacious and peaceful accomodations, the Gulf within steps of our palapa cabin. Since Eco Paraiso is still a remote destination and we have two daughters (ages 9 and 13 at the time) we made a point of taking a trip each of our 6 days... more

We stayed at Xixim for three days with two children aged 4 and 8. We enjoyed the beach (although the water is not as pretty as the Caribbean beaches) as it was very remote and there were many interesting shells, jellyfish, starfish, etc. to be discovered. The accommodations were quite nice with a large palapa-roofed cottage with a sitting area... more
