Causes of death were not disclosed.
Officials originally said three bodies were found on a property near the beach hotel before a fourth body was eventually discovered in the undergrowth on the same property.
The grisly find came a week after a US tourist was shot and injured in the leg while being approached by several suspects in Puerto Morelos.
It is unclear why the tourist was shot.

The U.S. State Department warned travelers to “exercise heightened caution,” especially after dark in Mexico’s bustling beach resorts like Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum, which have faced violence from drug cartels.
Two Canadians were killed in Playa del Carmen in 2022 over apparent debts between international drug and arms dealers.
And in 2021, two tourists in Tulum were caught in the crossfire of a shootout by rival drug dealers.
One of the victims was an Indian-born California travel blogger.
