We stayed for 3 nights and chose the top floor room facing the main road. There was a small fridge,cable TV with bad reception (had perfect on a local island the week before!), no kitchenette. Several things were deficient: windows were sealed and didn't open, bathroom didn't have ventilaton and although it wasn't a composting toilet as lower floors, it... more

I'm not a fan of Cancun in general, but if you need to stay a night there and want to avoid the overly developed and touristy hotel zone, this might be your best bet! It is not in a great location. The website says that the beaches of Cancun are only 2 kilometers away but it is a LONG walk... more

We spent 5 days here with our college age kids during Christmas to get away from the cold, snow and hype in the northeast US. First, El Rey del Caribe is a totally unique experience in Ciudad Cancun, which is a big, bustling, but safe and friendly city.

Nice hotel Quiet in the town Lovely pool Rooms a bit dark and humid more

This hotel really is... more

I was also excited about this hotel because it billed itself as eco-friendly and "green," with composting toilets, recycle bins everywhere, etc. The building and grounds were lovely - a brightly colored building with a metal gate... more

This was my third, and not last time to stay at the Del rey Caribe while overnighting in Cancun on a Yucatan trip. This environmentally sensitive hotel is the real thing, having alliances with local environmental groups as well. But the hotel itself: Is a treat. For such a wonderful rate (it's in downtown Cancun, some 20 minutes or so... more

I only stayed at Hotel El Rey del Caribe for one night, but was impressed by the experience. It's a lovely little hotel with a gorgeous jungle-like courtyard. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and I adore the little lizards and such running around by the pool. The room was very clean and had a little mini kitchen inside.... more
