HOTEL GREEN 16, Cancun

The hotel is 2 km from Plaza Caracol Shopping Mall and a 10-minute drive from Cancun's main square. The closest public beach is Playa Linda, reachable in about 10 minutes on foot via the Kukulcan Boulevard crossing. Nearby beaches like Dreams Sands Resort are also accessible. A bus stop immediately outside connects directly to the Hotel Zone and downtown, making it convenient for those without a car. Free public parking is available right nearby, so driving is practical.

Accommodation options include studios with a king-size bed, double rooms with two beds, and a 1-bedroom apartment. All units have a private entrance, tiled floors, and a wardrobe. Bathrooms come with a shower only (no tub), and free toiletries, an iron, and a hairdryer can be requested at reception. Some rooms include a microwave or TV. The room decor is basic, and the mattresses may be curved or uncomfortable for some. The temperature setting via the air conditioning may be imprecise - it can run very cold or stop. Pillows and blankets are thin; a thicker comforter is not standard, so an extra blanket request is advisable. Some rooms open directly to the outside, and security is via key card. The property lacks lifts, so all rooms are up stairs.

La Joaquina is open 7:00 to 22:00 every day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available on a buffet basis, with a focused menu that includes classic American, Italian, and Mexican dishes. The restaurant's decor is simple but functional. For those wanting full meal and drink inclusion, the all-inclusive plan costs $700 MXN per person per night and covers all meals plus alcoholic beverages within the same operating hours. Small shops are adjacent to the hotel for snacks and essentials. No other dining facilities are on-site.

The property's wellness and leisure facilities include a solarium and a sizable garden with outdoor furniture and a sun terrace. The pool is present on the grounds but has been closed at times; during some stays it was not available. There is no gym on-site, but sister hotel Mayafair Design has a small gym.
