Cocos Cabañas Playa del Carmen Adults Only

The place was well described as in the photos, a very rustic and old place, very good to disconnect from the city and have a good atmosphere. The food was spectacular, the service was very attentive. The only drawback was that one night it rained and there was no power. But that did not prevent us from having a good night.

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.

If you like beg bugs, then this is the place for you. We did see some stains on the bedsheets but not being accustomed to these insects, we didn't make a fuss about it. BIG mistake. Furthermore there is no direct access to the beach and there is absolutely no restaurant nearby. Knowing all these things, I would never have been to this place.

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.

Amazing stuff and ambiance! Definitely have to try it out! Could just stay here! I never had better octopus in my life! It’s like eating in the middle of the jungle! 🥰 I’m so happy we found out about this gem 💎 After lunch/dinner you can relax in the pool or hammock!

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.
