Hotels in Costa Maya, Mexico

Costa Maya is a stretch of Mexico's Caribbean coastline south of Tulum, famous for the massive Maya ruins of Chacchoben and the world's second-largest barrier reef. The climate is hot and humid year-round, with winter highs around 82°F (28°C) perfect for snorkeling the reef at Mahahual, while summer rains from June to October bring lush jungle and cheaper hotel rates for exploring the 1,500-year-old temples. You'll find calm waters for kayaking in the mornings during the dry season (November to May) and fewer crowds if you visit during the rainy afternoons of summer.
