Hotels in Quintana Roo, Mexico

Quintana Roo hugs Mexico's Caribbean coast, famous for sugary white beaches, ancient Mayan ruins like Chichen Itza, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral system on Earth. The climate is warm year-round-winters average 75°F (24°C) and summers hit 90°F (32°C)-so you can snorkel with sea turtles in the crystal-clear cenotes or dive the reef in dry season (November to April). For a change of pace, swap Cancun's high-energy hotel zone for Tulum's clifftop ruins overlooking turquoise water, or take a ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel for world-class scuba diving in calm summer waters.
