Given the beautiful setting – high on the cliffs above the Caribbean Sea – and the ideal location, they do get busy. It’s the third most visited site in Mexico, so try to get there early to avoid the crowds. The beaches in Tulum are stunning and generally less crowded, too.

We have carefully selected the B&Bs we stay at in Vinales and Trinidad for their comfort and location. Whilst these houses cannot be compared to modern western hotels, you can expect them to be clean, comfortable, well located and to feature at least en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, modern imported mattresses (which can be a luxury item in Cuba!) and cold and hot water. Every B&B is different and has its own unique charm.
