The region of Costa Maya has become a popular tourist destination since the construction of a pier for cruise ships and now provides numerous accommodation choices. Many cruise ships dock there to allow the passengers to visit the nearby beaches of Mahahual with their soft sand, coral reefs and grass-thatched palapas, while adventurous tourists visit the nearby Mayan ruins.
The Mayan Beach Garden Inn of Mahahual in Costa Maya gives visitors the opportunity to relax on the beach and enjoy the boutique-style seclusion and hospitality of the area. The inn sits only 30 miles north of the Costa Maya port, allowing guests to stay in the area without feeling overwhelmed by the main tourist area's noise and crowded conditions. The inn has cabanas, large decks and simple amenities that suit the area's simplicity and beauty. The inn's restaurant allows guests to sample native specialties or enjoy more familiar foods. Visitors may snorkel or dive the reefs that sit offshore from the hotel. Guests can also walk the paths near the hotel and view the various species of birds, including toucans, that live in the nearby trees.
