Stayed at Cocos Cabanas for the last 2 days of our week long Yucatan trip. I chose this hotel because it was on the beach and I had read wonderful reviews here. Unfortunately, the experience was different for us. The reasons my husband and I did not like it are: Location - it is a 15 minute drive away from... more
