The old Mexican residence of drug magnate Pablo Escobar - now known as the "King of Opium" - has now become a five-star eco-hotel named Casa Malca.
The hotel has 35 rooms, many of which overlook the beautiful private beach front of the palace.
In 2003, a local art dealer, Lio Malca, discovered the abandoned mansion and began renovating.
Casa Malca has three swimming pools, a roof terrace and many artistic details.
Malca decorated the mansion with unique works of art from the personal collection.
Pablo Escobar (pictured left) is a Colombian drug dealer, with an estimated $ 31 billion in assets. Escobar bought the mansion in the 1980s.
The hotel has a lush garden where cooks cook ingredients for the Yucata cuisine.
Guests can enjoy stunning sea views while staying at Casa Malca for $ 500 per night.
Two of the hotel's luxurious facilities include an underground pool and a sauna.
Casa Malca is loved for its artistically furnished interior, chosen by Malca's own hands.
