TripAdvisor had recommended this hotel so we booked with Bestday.com and were so disappointed. The room was dark and not updated. The bathroom had a compostable toilet that didn't work well. I don't think we could get any hot water in the shower. Or, at least we couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, we only stayed one night. The complimentary breakfast... more

We arrive dexpecting to put our room on credit card. No go. Ended up using almost all my dollars on the room and transportation because they wouldn't take travelers checks either. This hotel is quiet. We enjoyed the 2 hammocks in the courtyard. The plants in the courtyard are all in pots, except for the trees of course. The breakfast... more

We stayed at the hotel on Feb.16 for 2 nights. It´s a hotel for independent minded travellers since it is situated right on downtown Cancun and away from the hotel zone. Everything is accessible with the local buses and the long-distance bus station is just next door. A lot of dining options and traveller´s services around the area. We got... more

The Rey del Caribe is a real gem and a boon to travellers wanting to spend one or more nights in Cancun Centro (downtown). The rooms are very good value with a small kitchen where you could cook if you wanted to - I doubt many people do! They're a good size, clean and comfortable. The price includes breakfast which... more

This is a great little hotel in the City Center away from the sprawl and opulence of the hotel zone. Great service and smiling faces. Yummy breakfast; cozy simple rooms and of course the awesome garden and pool. Lots to do if you are interested in real Mexico vs hotel hideaways. more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights after a week on Isla Mujeres. While we wished we had planned to stay longer on Isla, we were pleased with this property and enjoyed exploring in downtown Cancun. The hotel property is beautiful and the room was quiet and very clean. A few tiny ants on the wall were the only... more

We visited El Rey del Caribe in Cancun during high season but in spite of the hotel being busy we were treated nicely and enjoyed our stay. You can't beat the location of this hotel, right next to a large grocery and a short walk to the central bus station which can take you anywhere in the Yucatan (Mexico for... more

I saw rave reviews of this place and I dont think it quite lives up to the hype. That said this hotel has some great features and I would definitely consider staying there again. First the good: The hotel grounds are VERY nice, very green. A very pleasant space to be in. I was travelling alone and my room was... more
