Known as the “yellow city,” Izamal is a jewel of the Yucatan Peninsula. When Pope John Paul II visited its striking Catholic convent in 1993, all of Izamal’s buildings were painted a golden shade of yellow. The city boasts distinctive cobblestone streets, iron lamp posts, and gorgeous colonial buildings, that are all highlighted by Izamal’s signature sun-kissed shade. This revered destination, known as a ‘pueblo magico’ is graced with natural beauty, cultural riches, and historical importance. Situated between Merida and Valladolid, Izamal is comprised of 3 distinctive cultural histories — ancient Mayan, colonial, and contemporary Mexican. As the Yucatan’s oldest city, Izamal is home to five pyramids that serve as historic monuments. Coqui Coqui de Los Santos fuses these worlds of folklore, history and modernity all within this captivating residence that serves as an ode to both the historical and religious importance of such a magical place on the map.
Featuring an air of contemporary flair, religious reference, and indigenous folklore, Coqui Coqui is housed in a restored colonial building with authentic peeling wall frescoes, antique tapestries and ornate floor tiles that neighbor the ancient Mayan ruins. Inside, you’ll find our open-air patio space that features a plunge pool, terrace, and rustic open kitchen that’s framed by wooden arches and columns.
