We were three families of 12 people traveling on Norwegian cruise lines with a port of call in Costa Maya. We got off the ship and took a van ride (arrange with your driver to take you back to ship) to this quaint beachside resort for the day. It seemed like long ride because the roads are bumpy but we...

fantastic beach in a small hotel. Great food including fresh fish and grear desserts selfcooked in a Wienese way. Not luxurious but very sweet rooms with charm. If you are NOT into touristy traps can only recommend. We will be back. Claudia and David

The Hotel Castillo is a great place to get away in a peaceful and beautiful caribbean setting. The Castillo is a small, quaint 7 unit hotel that offers incredible oceanfront view rooms.
