Very good

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the tours and area overall.
Made a request and they were eager to help.
Would definitely recommend.
Great place to stay.
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!
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.
The hotel is just in front of the port which we liked.
The room is small and basic, but it was totally fine and since our room was on the top floor(3rd), we had like a straw roof which was cute.
The only downside is that you hear noise since early morning as it's facing to the port, so you might struggle if you are sensitive to noise.
It was clean, AC worked well, beds were comfortable, receptionist was very nice and friendly. It’s a very basic hotel, nothing fancy but it was ok to spend the night. From the downsides - it doesn’t have parking and there can be noise in the evening or morning because there are a lot of local houses surrounding the building.

bar muy ruidoso al lado y fiesta en la calle hasta que salió el sol. Salí un día antes, sin tefund
When I arrived at the location they told me that they Do not have electricity and I had to go look around for another location. I did not stay at the hotel, and I can Not give feedback on the services.
A gem. We had the top floor panaramic view, king bed, balcony overlooking the bioreserve. Incredible. Sweet staff let us use their coffee machine every morning (early), my boyfriend needed to work a bit in his lobby office, best internet. Walking distance to everything, good place to eat right next door, open all meals.
a pleasant surprise! well located, over the malecon, whit a nice restaurant at each side.
I know what a five star hotel is! But here you get wath yo call a nice location. and center of action for exploring the surroundings.
A trip to the pink waters. to see the flamingos. the ibis, egrets , herons, alligator, pelicans. I strongly recommend this nice hotel!
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!!
