The Best Hotel Bargains in Yucatan Peninsula
- Rey del Caribe Hotel (Cancún; www.reycaribe.com): An inexpensive retreat in downtown Cancún, this hotel has considered every detail in its quest for an organic and environmentally friendly atmosphere. Set in a tropical garden, the Rey del Caribe provides sunny rooms, warm service, yoga and other themed classes, and healthful dining -- all a welcome respite from party-hearty Cancún.
- Luz en Yucatán (Mérida; www.luzenyucatan.com): This inn, just 3 blocks from the main plaza, has a marvelous variety of thoughtfully decorated rooms, suites, studios, and apartments tucked into a sweet garden around a pool. The beds are superior, guests have use of a large kitchen and dining room, and the hotel offers a free bar cart.
- Hotel López (Campeche; www.hotellopezcampeche.com.mx): The recently restored López departs from the historic center's colonial restorations with its Art Deco loops and curves. The lobby, courtyard and new waterfall pool are sheer eye candy; rooms are more modest but quite comfy and equipped with gleaming tile bathrooms. In a city that's already kind to the budget, it's the best hotel in its price range.
- Hotel Posada La Media Luna (San Cristóbal; www.hotel-lamedialuna.com): In a city of inexpensive lodgings, this beats all the other bargain hotels for its combination of location, room size, and service.
