It all depends on how basic you'd want to go. Is Air Conditioning a "must have" or are you ok with an in-room fan? Coco's Cabañas in Punta Bete, north of Playa del Carmen, is an extreme example of basic. They are palapa style huts right on the beach. The floor consists of beach sand, there's no electricity or tv / radio / ac. Yucatan style hammocks with mosquito netting is in place of the usual queen / king bed. You do get a prvt. bath / shower with solar heated water. There's a pool. Nearby is a bar and grill. Off season you can stay at Coco's Cabañas for $45.00 during season it's just a little more. I mention Coco's because it is always helpful to give folks a ballpark figure and some idea of "must have" amenities when asking for hotel help. I know a Don Emilione in Playa del Carmen (45 min south of Cancun). It is basic. Small rooms, clean white sheets, a/c, on the second level off the main tourist area of 5th Ave. There is a restaurant of the same name facing 5th Ave. There is no pool but Don Emilione has a very quiet beach. It's right in town, not far from the dock for the Cozumel ferry. If the Don Emilione you mention is one and the same, it's a nice little no frills hotel located in downtown Playa del Carmen. For its location, the rooms are amazingly quiet...even if the views aren't very remarkable. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.

Alan, I think that the Coco Rio, the Don Emilione, the Colibri, the Costa
Del Mar, and the Treetops are in Playa Del Carmen...not the same thing as Cancun at all. There you can find cheaper rates, closer to the beach, than you can in Cancun. I use Travelaxe as a research tool: www.travelaxe.com Once I pick some hotels, I use www.tripadvisor.com to find reviews from people that have stayed there. I stay away from Travelocity and the like, they don't necessarily give me the best rates. Check out the links on my website, there's a link to a Playa Del Carmen All-Inclusive web board, and on that page there will be a link to an identical site about All-inclusives in Cancun...not that I'm a big fan, but it's there if you need it. There are other links on my webpage that will lead you to web boards covering Playa del Carmen.

Don't know when you stayed there, but at least since 2003 Coco's has 5 tile-floored cabañas about a block from the beach with electricity, queen / king beds with netting, ceiling fans, and a phone in the on-premise bar: http://www.webkatz.net/Mexico/puntabete.html Dave |
