AREA INFO

Mosquito Blue hotel is situated in Playa del Carmen the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula fronts the Caribbean, and it is the beaches above all that define this area - soft, blinding white strands of sand embracing clear turquoise waters, shorelines that curve into calm lagoons, waves that crash against cliffs, mangrove swamps with minuscule islands where only the birds hold sway alongside freshwater cenotes (sinkholes).

Offshore, a magnificent coral reef teems with marine life swimming lazily among the shipwrecks and relics left by pirates, while inland, savannah gives way to wetland to scrubby limestone terrain to jungle, the flora and fauna varying with each setting. All this makes the Caribbean coast, which borders Mexico's state of Quintana Roo, a marvellous place for lovers of the outdoors.
