Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Coco Rio

Located just around the corner from the famous Quinta Avenida, Hotel Coco Rio offers great location and affordability but with style, which is not always the case in hotels of this category. Definitely, one of the best low-cost options for those looking to explore what Playa del Carmen has to offer.

YOU SHOULD KNOW There is no parking available at Coco Rio, so looking for a nearby private parking lot may be necessary.

room

The whole Hotel Coco Rio developed a boat-themed décor that is much better appreciated in the rooms. The color palette uses a variety of blue and green tones, and there are several pieces of softwood furniture and other accessories. Most rooms enjoy private balcony or terrace, and some even feature a hammock. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fan, Wi-Fi access and cable TV.

For long stays, you may want to ask the staff about their apartment packages, which offer better value.

bathroom

Coco Rio’s bathrooms have been nicely designed, with a fresh, modern outlook that suggests they have been renovated not long ago. The small-mosaic design of the walls work perfectly, the space is ample and some bathrooms even include bidet.

lobby

Some may find Coco Rio’s lobby a bit naïve, with all that sailing paraphernalia, but it’s actually cute. The whimsical ambience of the place communicates the right impression of what to expect in this charming hotel.

spa

The hotel counts with a beach front solarium where a diversity of massages can be provided upon request.
