A shell shaped fountain, rising palm trees, and a tangerine colored facade deliver a warm welcome at the entryway of Hacienda Caracol. Graceful archways around the veranda frame views of the Caribbean Sea, while lofty interiors celebrate themes of Old Mexico with traditional artwork along the walls, polished tile floors, and dark wooden furnishings. A sprawling 10-bedroom estate, Hacienda Caracol is steps from the sand and a short drive from the buzzing beach town of Tulum.
