Hotels in Yucatan Peninsula Mexico, Mexico

The Yucatan Peninsula in southeastern Mexico is famous for ancient Mayan ruins like Chichen Itza and thousands of limestone sinkholes called cenotes. The climate is hot year-round, with highs around 90°F (32°C) and lows near 70°F (21°C), so you can swim in crystal-clear cenotes any time, but the dry season from November to April offers sunny days for exploring Tulum's clifftop ruins, while the rainy summer months bring lush jungle and cheaper hotel rates along the Riviera Maya. In the north, Cancun and Playa del Carmen buzz with nightlife and all-inclusive resorts, while inland Merida offers colonial architecture and authentic Yucatecan cuisine.
