With a prime location on the Malecón, this boutique hotel offers a combination of comfort and relaxed beach vibes with modern amenities that make it ideal for both work and leisure.
A Stay with a View
Scappata Hotel boasts lovely ocean views, if you can book a room with a view it is worth it! You will not only get to ponder as the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico, but also you have a uninhibited view of the world’s largest pier! Guests can choose from a variety of rooms, including sea-facing suites with private terraces, king-bed accommodations, and cozy standard rooms. The plush bedding, fast WiFi, and smart TVs ensure a comfortable stay, whether you’re here to unwind or even work remotely with a breathtaking ocean backdrop.
If you want to treat yourself, I would recommend the Ocean Front Suite which has plenty of room and a sofa living areas as well as a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea.
Relaxation and Convenience
The pool area is a nice spot for a swim or just to have a sunset cocktail it has an infinity pool and there are seagulls flying overhead. The beach club gives you direct access to Progreso’s shore and you get food service right to your lounge chair or shaded bed area. It’s a low-key, comfortable place to slow down for a bit. You’ll feel the Progreso vibe with music and beach vendors passing by selling hats and local treats.
Casual Dining by the Sea
The hotel’s on-site restaurant, Scappata Casa di Mare, serves a mix of seafood and Italian dishes, with options like homemade pastas, pizzas, and risottos. The restaurant overlooks the Malecón, and has a Caribbean feel with Tulum-style decor that blends natural materials with an earthy color palette, incorporating handmade artisanal details such as macramé and woven lamps and soft lighting. It’s a romantic yet casual date night, even if just with yourself!
