Seashell house in Isla mujeres, Cancun, Yucatan
One of the best ways to have a great vacation is to book quirky and unique accommodation. The world is full of stunning accommodation options that no one would ever forget. For instance, in Idaho, you can live in a potato (now that’s different!). One of the most rewarding things you can do to enhance your trip is to seek out quirky and interesting accommodations. Some accommodations may even be the highlight of his trip.
Isla Mujeres, Mexico also has an eye-catching accommodation called the Couch Shell House – one look and you’ll be hosting your group party there in no time. Fortunately, the house is also affordable for most people vacationing in Mexico. Another unique accommodation that can be discovered in Mexico City is the nest of Quetzalcoatl – it’s an Airbnb built in the shape of a serpent from Aztec mythology.
