4* Sandos Caracol Eco Resort
In Riviera Maya, Mexico - Caribbean Coast, Mexico
True to its name, the Sandos Caracol Eco Resort immerses you in the sights, sounds and scents of the jungle.
It doesn’t get more back-to-nature than this hotel. You’ll wake up to the mossy scent of mangroves, and the sight of lush jungle in every direction.
Loads of eco activities are included here – from jungle tours to swimming in natural pools called cenotes. There’s a massive waterpark with 29 slides, and a sandy beach – the sea’s pretty rocky, though, so pack some sea shoes.

What's Riviera Maya like?
You can head for the Riviera Maya, on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, and do nothing but sip cocktails on tropical beaches. But there's so much more on offer. Mayan ruins, eco parks, world-class diving – they’re all on the cards along this 30-kilometre stretch of coastline, which takes in lively Playa del Carmen and the quieter Punta Allen. Just so you know, the beaches on this stretch of coastline sometimes experience increased levels of seaweed – called sargassum. It’s influenced by the weather and ocean currents. If your hotel’s affected, the staff will do everything they can to clear it.
