Cocos Cabañas Playa del Carmen Adults Only

The room was quite lovely and it was pretty much as expected. The primary issue was that at one point there were children (at this "adults only" hotel) playing on the hammocks outside of the pool, which was a disruption to the ambiance we had expected. Also, in the evening the restaurant would get quite loud. Mostly this is about my personal expectations but if asked, I would not stay here again, despite how much I enjoyed the "cabana" type of room. The main reason we picked a place "out of the way" in Playa was to escape the noise, which we were unable to do.

Sylvia, the beautiful and charming owner and hostess welcomed me warmly upon arrival after a failed taxi pick up from Cancun airport and a very expensive replacement. I was sat down with a complimentary margarita and told to relax, she would look after me. After that, she and all the wonderful staff ensured that I had the very best time. My cabana was sweet, the bed very comfortable and a good variety of food and drink available for breakfast. For the first few days I used Petit Lafitte’s beach club, 600 pesos weekdays and 800 at the weekend. You had use of sunloungers and parasols and food and drink allowance up to the amount paid. I found the food here vastly bland, tasteless and disappointing. The menu at Coco’s was about the same price but the quality of food was impressive, so much better, in a different league altogether. The stuffed fish fillet was gorgeous but everything was tasty. The restaurant is always busy at night with visitors from all around and no one leaves unhappy. Had a nice visit to Playa del Carmen to the Frida Kahlo museum but then I succumbed to a bad cold and cough. Sylvia insisted after a few days when I was getting worse that she drive me to and from the doctor to get antibiotics etc for a chest infection. Since then I have relaxed quietly by the pool every day to recover so that I will be well enough to fly home tomorrow. I will miss Sylvia and all the lovely people at Coco’s but am taking home many happy memories.

Cocos has been one our favorite respite when going back to the airport when traveling the Yuchatan. Silvia is so personable and helpful. We love the relaxation in this corner paradise protected from the business of Playa and Cancun. A true gem. Good food. Good people. Great beds!

The staff and food is fantastic

Lo primero que debo mencionar es el servicio de Omar, él sabe lo que está haciendo. Realmente te hace sentir como en casa con su atención. De esos lugares a los que regresas con gusto por la atención y.....las pizzas!!! Uffff son pizzas al horno, en mi opinión son excelentes, si gustan del queso de cabra no duden en pedir el calzone al patrón, se van a quedar con ganas de más

If you like beg bugs, then this is the place for you. We did see some stains on the bedsheets but not being accustomed to these insects, we didn't make a fuss about it. BIG mistake. Furthermore there is no direct access to the beach and there is absolutely no restaurant nearby. Knowing all these things, I would never have been to this place.
