A real jewel. We came up north to try something new and found Aria by accident. After looking at a few rental properties we came across Aria and. Met Mia the property hostess. This property is well planned out and tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still an easy walk to the beach and amenities. Exceptionally clean and organized with everything you could want. Very comfortable beds and new appliances, quiet a/c and clean plunge pools. The night sky from the rooftop pool is incredible.

As a family of four, we spent a wonderful weekend at Hotel Aria, which is an outstanding place. Great design of the hotel, large rooms with kitchen, well equipped, very clean, two pools, just so many features, I cannot quote all. The owner/manager makes the visit even better, very hospitable and attentive. I strongly recommend this place. We had been at other places in El Cuyo before, but boutique hotel Aria is indeed our prime choice.

I recently spent a few days in El Cuyo to reconnect with this charming town, it had been a while since my last visit. Aria was recommended by a friend, and now I completely understand why. This hotel exceeds expectations. It’s not only well-equipped with everything you could need, but it’s also spotlessly clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying for at least two nights to fully enjoy the activities in the area And don’t miss the breathtaking sunset views from Aria’s rooftop. It’s truly something special!

We HIGHLY recommend ARIA! My Fiancé and I originally booked a Air BNB cabin. Long story short that particular cabin was a nightmare. Thank goodness we found ARIA because the host Mia was incredibly kind and helped turn our nightmare into a beautiful dream! Our room was very charming, clean, and had all the amenities. ARIA’s roof top pool has a stunning view of the sunset and the stars. ARIA was very luxurious and affordable. We hope to stay again one day!

El cuyo is a beautiful tiny fishing village, if you don't want to see a lot of tourists, beach clubs and noise by the beach this is the place to be. Aria is by far one of the best hotels in the peninsula of Yucatan. While it does not have a beach front view, you can get to the beach easily. The rooftop view is magical at sunset. You can see the beautiful sea on one side and a lagoon full of flamingos on the other side. The property has 2 pools, one on the rooftop and one on the ground floor where you can relax and reconnect with nature. The only possible noise is birds chirping. This hotel has amazing size tv's and good internet connection (something rare in Mexico) great ac and super comfortable bed, my studio even had the most amazing hammock I've ever tried in my life. They even offer cleaning your room and changing towels and bed sheets every 2 days or so (which is amazing for longer stays). Mia is always there to help you with anything you could possibly need. She is one of the kindest hotel staff you can encounter throughout the Yucatan peninsula. Her accommodation is impressively clean (also rare in Mexico) and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. She is attentive with all customers and is always making sure you are comfortable and have everything you need and more. We will definitely be back!
