A tourist trend that has become more popular in Cancun and, especially, in Riviera Maya (Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Tulum) is ecotourism. The emergence of Cancun as a tourist destination was planned, but its growth and success has been so great that it has extended over some natural areas. So, after having experienced this situation, the smaller towns have tried to moderate their growth and have a better relationship with local ecosystems: mangroves, jungle, cenotes, etc. Thus, cabins as a lodging alternative is becoming more common in places such as Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
In Playa del Carmen, some of the main options for hotel-type cabins are:
- Petit Lafitte. It is located at Xcaloco Beach. In this hotel, you can find different cabins, some with ocean view, some inside the garden. These cabins provide a cozy, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. They are surrounded by the impressive Mayan jungle and just a few steps from the Caribbean Sea.
- Viceroy Riviera Maya. Its cabins range from 1000 square ft (93 m2) to 2900 square feet (2,895 m2). They have all the amenities that any resort room could have. You can also find ocean front cabins.
