However, if you want to see the most of Mexico without having to rush, aim for two weeks or longer. No matter your timeframe, the below itineraries will help you plan that perfect Mexican getaway.

On the whole, we had a wonderful mix of beaches, historical sites, cenotes, old historic towns etc. Kimkim played a big role in make our trip to Mexico so memorable.

Hotel Reviews
Piedra Escondida
Tulum, Quintana Roo

Worked great for our family of four with kids 12 and 15. Beautiful ocean view rooms. The connected restaurant was one of the best we ate at the whole trip. Bar is relaxing with ocean views also. Seems like you are on a remote island yet amenities are very close by.

Authenticity & Character
One of a kind, loved the private beach and the restaurant and bar on site.
Location
Feels isolated and private yet is right next to amenities.
Staff
Very friendly and available
Cleanliness & Comfort
Not brand new, but I don't need that. Clean comfortable and relaxing.
Hotel Posada San Juan
Valladolid

Motel is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are just gorgeous with large semi-private open air lounging areas outside the rooms. Pool that I think only we used. Not many guests, so a lot of the time it felt like you have the whole place to yourself. Bar on site next to the refreshing pool. Located in a convenient area with their own bar and restaurant across the street and in walking distance to major sites of the city, restaurants, bars, and shops.

Authenticity & Character
Beautiful authentic rooms with wildlife if you pay attention and next to a plaza that the friendly locals frequent.
Location
Very convenient for seeing the sights and amenities.
Staff
Everyone was friendly and helpful kids loved the friendly well behaved "guard" dog.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very new feeling but feels like it has been there a hundred years. Bathrooms are large, airy, and relaxing.
Playa Palms Beach Hotel

Nice rooms, balconies with great views of the ocean. Private pool that never felt crowded as there really aren't that many guests. Great breakfasts delivered to your door when you want. No bar or restaurant on site, but if you are on the beach bar tenders come over and deliver you drinks. Massage therapy people come by too. Plus you are only a few blocks from the happening 5th Avenue with its bars, restaurants, live music, and shops.

Authenticity & Character
Interesting looking layout with the balconies and pool. Has its own small beach. Relaxed as there aren't many guests.
Location
Right on the beach you can book snorkeling and fishing tours that leave from a block away. Unfortunately, ours got cancelled due to high winds, but we were quickly refunded. The boats for these are right in front of the hotel.
Staff
Friendly. There is someone there that can book tours for you.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Room was nice and clean with refrigerator, microwave, dishes, sink, cooktop, and TV

The boat ride, especially through the canal area was super fun plus you see a lot of fish and birds. Floating down the canal is super relaxing and a unique experience. My oldest kid could do it every day of his life. You see Mayan ruins here and there. We saw manatees, which was amazing, interesting fish close up, ospreys, herons it is just a beautiful place. Kids loved it 10 out of 10 until my 12 year old lost his cell phone on an island we went to. It was all his fault, but the guides tried their best to find it in multiple ways and worked hard to console him. So any negatives to the trip was just our family being us. Awesome trip.

Much more mellow and less crowded than Chichen Itza. It is quite a bit different. You can climb the pyramids if you want. Much more shade than Chichen Itza too, which made it more relaxed.

Awesome experience! We almost cancelled this because my family was kind of burnt out from Chichen Itza and Ek Balaam the days before. Worried the bike ride might be hot and miserable. Instead the bike ride was super fun, honestly the bike ride was probably the best I have ever been on and that is saying something. It is flat and shady and not very far. The ruins are different from the other two. Very laid back here compared to Chichen Itza. Very fun!

Charlotte put together the itinerary for us perfectly. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount of activities for our family of four. The activities and accommodations were aligned with the objectives and preferences we had in mind for the trip. We wanted to do things "off the beaten path," and that's what Charlotte delivered. Highlights included swimming in the cenote, Sian Ka'an boat tour (highly recommended), and snorkeling with sea turtles. The team also supported us during the trip and were quick to answer questions when they arose.
