The Plaza Hotel offers a pleasant and cosy atmosphere in a typical Caribbean style. The charming comfortable rooms will make you feel at home immediately.

Join us in our beach club and relax under the shade of the « Palapas », your feet sunk in the fine and white sand, while your eyes get amazed at the turquoise Caribbean colours.

Or if you prefer, enjoy reading your favourite book in our shaded interior patio where you will immediately feel the magic of the Mayan world.

Have a delicious breakfast prepared by the chef of the “La Morena” restaurant, located next to the entrance of the hotel, where you will find both typical Yucatan dishes, as well as international ones.

The Plaza Hotel is located just opposite the diving center, a two-minute walk from the beach.

The hotel has 30 comfortable recently renovated and decorated rooms equipped with 2 double beds, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, bathroom, safety deposit box, TV and mini-bar. Some of the rooms are ideal for families as they have 3 double beds and a kitchenette. Rooms have a private terrace or direct access to the interior hotel patio, a refuge from the heat, where you can have a rest.

The Plaza hotel is the ideal place to relax in a quiet, laid-back atmosphere after a diving experience in the turquoise-blue Caribbean Sea.
