About Quintana Roo
Quintana Roo is the real gem of the Yucatán Peninsula. With its spectacular Caribbean coastline of white sands and bright turquoise waters made all the more impressive by the scattering of Mayan Ruins. Despite its obvious attractions, the tourist industry doesn’t feel overdone here. Hotels tend to be of high quality with everything from smart contemporary hotels to natural eco-resorts. So, the only choice you need to make to pick from the best places to stay in Quintana Roo, is whether you want a beach or a jungle location.
Some of our Quintana Roo Collections:
The region is home to the famous beach holiday destinations Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Tulum - which has its own impressive Mayan archaeological site built into the coastal cliffs. While Quintana Roo’s jungle interior has some wonderful Maya-Mexicano communities, as well as the spectacular ancient sights at Coba.
As you might imagine the majority of the best places to stay in Quintana Roo are in the tourist hot spots, but our Gurus have found some real treasures. If you’re looking for a peaceful jungle escape or a chance at secluded barefoot luxury then there’s plenty to choose from in our Guru’s list.
