Coco Tulum

Coco’s accommodation is split between rooms on the beach in Tulum and the village. Book the beach – whose cabana villas are quintessentially Tulum – big and airy inside with polished concrete and pretty conch shell taps, lovely wattle walls (painted in whitewash) and traditional Maya thatched roofs.

Hammocks swing on the terraces, shaded by coconut palms and the hotel is right on the sand.

But it’s not a place for serene stays. Coco’s attracts partiers: sitting in the heart of Tulum’s hotel zone, with a lively bar, DJ shows and nightlife alternatives on the doorstep. Children over 16 only.
