The Hotel Cocorio is a beautiful new resort, only few minutes walk from the heart of Playa del Carmen's lovely downtown shopping area, but it's on the quietest part of the street so you can enjoy the ocean breeze in peace.

Surrounded by luxuriant tropical vegetation, CocoRio Hotel is a comfortable, informal, colonial structure that offers you all comfort you need. The entertainment is varied and the scenery, the weather and Caribbean are just spectacular.

Playa del Carmen is one of the most popular destination in the Caribbean, thanks to its fine white sand beaches, to the excellent blue color of the water almost all year around and to the second largest coral reef in the world.

Besides you can visit the amazing ancient archeological sites, such as Tulum, Coba, Uxmal, Chichen-Itza and discover the mysterious Mayan civilization. From Playa del Carmen you can cruise just in a few minutes to tropical islands like Cozumel (one of the most spectacular scuba diving destinations in the world) or Isla Mujeres.

Or you can enjoy any water sport like windsurfing, scuba diving, jet skiing or peaceful snorkeling. Lie on the beach and tan or boogie the night away with live music at the local hotspot.

So relax and enjoy yourself! The streets are clean and safe to walk at night. The people are friendly and unhurried. The food is abundant; you can find traditional Mexican, Yucatecan, French and Italian dishes, tacos and pizzas.

Pizzeria - Osteria 'La Rucola' is at your disposal. This is a very good authentic Italian restaurant. The pizzas are very good, with thin crust typical in Italy. They also have a selection of meat and fish, fresh salads and a few desserts. It is down in the newer section of Playa that is growing and is a nice change from 5th Avenue. You will recognize the light blue tables and chairs with blue and white checkered table clothes. Closed Wednesday.
