Cocos Cabañas Playa del Carmen Adults Only

Sylvia, the beautiful and charming owner and hostess welcomed me warmly upon arrival after a failed taxi pick up from Cancun airport and a very expensive replacement. I was sat down with a complimentary margarita and told to relax, she would look after me. After that, she and all the wonderful staff ensured that I had the very best time. My cabana was sweet, the bed very comfortable and a good variety of food and drink available for breakfast. For the first few days I used Petit Lafitte’s beach club, 600 pesos weekdays and 800 at the weekend. You had use of sunloungers and parasols and food and drink allowance up to the amount paid. I found the food here vastly bland, tasteless and disappointing. The menu at Coco’s was about the same price but the quality of food was impressive, so much better, in a different league altogether. The stuffed fish fillet was gorgeous but everything was tasty. The restaurant is always busy at night with visitors from all around and no one leaves unhappy. Had a nice visit to Playa del Carmen to the Frida Kahlo museum but then I succumbed to a bad cold and cough. Sylvia insisted after a few days when I was getting worse that she drive me to and from the doctor to get antibiotics etc for a chest infection. Since then I have relaxed quietly by the pool every day to recover so that I will be well enough to fly home tomorrow. I will miss Sylvia and all the lovely people at Coco’s but am taking home many happy memories.

Cocos has been one our favorite respite when going back to the airport when traveling the Yuchatan. Silvia is so personable and helpful. We love the relaxation in this corner paradise protected from the business of Playa and Cancun. A true gem. Good food. Good people. Great beds!

We are staying next door at Petit lafitte and so far have come to Cocos Cabanas twice for food. The pizza is outstanding, as was the famous spinach salad and fish tacos. Highly recommend if you are staying in the area. The atmosphere is very cozy and the host Sylvia is lovely.

So we are back at Cocos as I type this. I think this is either our 4th or possibly 5th visit since we discovered this hidden gem of a hotel/resort/restaurant . Silvia and Helmut are the most friendly gracious hosts you could ever wish to meet . The food is literally to die for , everything on the menu is beautifully made , presented and tasty. You have to try the wood fired pizzas and calzones . .Calm relaxing pool and dining area and the sandy beach is a two minute walk away . Come for lunch/dinner I guarantee you will want to stay . Well kept cabanas for your stay are more than you need . All the staff are attentive and ready to help you enjoy your stay . It has to be good if we keep coming back . Avoid the crowds and noise of the big resorts try Cocos you won’t be disappointed .

We loved the seclusion and the uniqueness of this quaint, quiet little place. The Cabañas were very clean, comfortable beds and beautiful piece of property. Silvia and crew at the restaurant were attentive and the food was delicious. This is truly a hidden little gem and we will be back.

We were staying at The Viceroy just a few yards down the beach and made the journey a few times because it was so good. Excellent margaritas and excellent service. Good value too. The tuna tostadas were the best I’ve ever had , so fresh and amazing g flavours. They really look after you, do not miss this place.
