Affordable Paradise....steps from Best Beaches.... in Playa del Carmen

Mi Casa es su Casa! This lovely home away from home is regularly
refurbished and refreshed with new furnishings and accessories. If
your vacation plans include staying very near the fine sandy beaches
of the Mexican Caribbean this is the place for you.
This residence is one of twelve units in the Italian designed “La
Coccinella” complex. Look out into the lush garden courtyard and try
to decide if you want to relax in the pool or head down to Mamita’s
or Beach Tukan. If you choose a beach club, fifty pesos
(approx.$5.usd) will provide you with a chaise, a shady palapa and
prompt, friendly service. Enjoy the ‘scenery’, in and out of the
clear, warm, turquoise waters of ‘El Caribe’.
La Coccinella is nestled in what locals refer to as Quinta Nueva
or ‘new 5th Avenue’. Just off of Avenida 5th at Calle 28th you will
be staying in one of the newest and most tastefully built areas of
this popular Yucatan destination. Since it is situated around the
corner from restaurants, shops, internet cafes, beach clubs and
more - everything you need is within walking distance.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind destination. Playa (as referred to by
locals) was once a tiny fishing village. It now favors a quaint
paradise and shys away from high rise development. It has grown into
a beautifully designed ‘walking friendly’ beach town.
Besides Spanish, Mayan and English you will hear languages from
around the world. The international mix of Playa locals, business
owners and tourists enhances the cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Fly into Cancun International Airport and take a car, bus, taxi or
shuttle 45 minutes south to Playa del Carmen.
