This is a great hotel to be right in the center of activity in Rio Lagartos. Our top story room had a full 180° view of the waterways used by the fishermen and guides of the area. The old downtown area is close by and walkable. The staff was fantastic!

Super süße Unterkunft in Rio Lagartos, direkt am Wasser. Wir haben die Unterkunft für eine Nacht gebucht und das schöne Zimmer mit direktem Meerblick sehr genossen. Es ist sicherlich eine eher „einfache“ aber dennoch besondere Unterkunft mit deren Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis wir super happy waren. Kommunikation auf Englisch etwas schwierig und abends treffen sich viele Leute vor dem Hotel zum Angeln, weshalb es etwas lauter ist, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Wir denken gerne an unseren Aufenthalt zurück.

Horrible stay; images show false advertising

My friend and I had an absolutely horrible stay here, the worst of our two weeks in Mexico by far. There were stains on our bed sheets, dead flies on shelves, no hot water, and the boiler and electrical wires were hanging out from the bathroom walls. The bathroom smelled terribly, had no air circulation (no fan or window), the tap was very rusted, and the sink was stained. Mould was growing in the corner of the bedroom. Service was also non-existent. We had no toilet paper, towels, soap or shower products when we arrived. It appears staff also didn't know how the bedding was supposed to be arranged, as the mattress protector was on top of the bed sheets. When we pointed things out to reception, the man was very uncommunicative and unhelpful. After lots of back and forth, he finally came with some toilet paper and shower towels - which we couldn't use anyway as the water was freezing. This place should not be advertising on Hotels.com. It does not come anywhere near meeting basic accommodation standards, does not follow hygenic practices, and the images used to promote the hotel are not reflective at all of the terrible condition it's in. Thankfully we only had one night here!

La persona que atendió fue amable. Pero no hubo luz hasta horas después, decía que agua caliete y nunca tuvimos agua caliente. En la noche nos fuimos a descancar y hubo ruido toda la noche de un bar que está junto.

2/10 Terrible

Nada que ver a las fotos, los cuartos huelen mal, la regadera es eléctrica y da mucho miedo el agua nunca sale caliente y sale como si te bañaras con una karcher, no agarra el internet nunca nos llegó la señal muy feo la verdad
Gabriel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

La ubicacion es muy buena, la habitación panorámica tiene una vista excepcional, el unico inconveniente fue que en mi estancia se fue la luz en el hotel prácticamente todo un día. Tampoco hay agua caliente en la habitación o al menos no hubo mientras estuve, la atención de los que atienden es buena.

Outstanding Views

We booked the panoramic cabana. The room was very nice and the view breathtaking. We were able to watch flamingo's, crocodiles (yes one swam right in front of our room) and sunsets off the balcony. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped us book a flamingo tour which I would highly recommend. There weren't as many flamingos here as in Celestun, but there were a lot of other birds and an abundance of crocodiles. The only caution I would give to anyone booking the panoramic cabana is that there are steep steps getting to he room. I would highly recommend Hotel el Faro.

El cuarto que nos dieron tiene una vista hermosa!! Limpio y acogedor, personal amable y atento.. Lo único que agregaría es una cafetera..El precio un poco elevado pero la tranquilidad lo compensa!!
