Le propriétaire et sa femme sont adorables, toujours disponibles pour répondre à nos questions et voir à ce que les clients soient bien.
Une personne nous attendait à l’arrêt d’autobus pour nous mener à l’hôtel.
C’est un hôtel magnifique, vraiment. La terrasse est grande avec plusieurs chaises et tables. Il y fait chaud toutefois, car tout est en plein soleil.
Le petit-déjeuner offert a été très apprécié.
L’arrêt d’autobus pour aller à Las coloradas est à 5 min à pied.
Le propriétaire peut organiser une visite guidée ($) avec un guide officiel qui est super gentil. 🙂
Sur le malecon, en marchant, il y a des dépanneurs pour les grignotines et des restaurants. Le centre n’est pas très loin à pied.
Nous sommes restés deux soirs.
Au final : qualité/prix excellents!
Great option for a stay in Rio Lagartos! Rooms are clean, there is a nice communal area to use, and Roger the owner is very friendly and helpful. If you plan to do any wildlife/flamingo tours, we highly recommend going with the option Roger can arrange for you. We did it and it was awesome.
Loved this place, Roger was very welcoming. We had the tour that he organized from the hotel, it was so worth doing, loved our tour guide,sorry, forgotten his name but he was very passionate about wildlife and the mangroves. Would definitely recommend.
My husband and I celebrated our 41st anniversary. Our room with the view was exactly as shown and more. It was perfect! A nice surprise was breakfast on our little patio the next morning. Check in was smooth and very pleasant. We appreciated the help to book our boat tour. Not to be missed. Thank you. We hope to come back!

Our room was facing the river with a private balcony and had two double beds with the cleanest sheets I have ever seen in any hotel. Beds were comfortable, staff very accommodating. Silvia was helpful and kind. Will definitely come back next year!
Room and beds comfortable with fabulous view from balcony room, and sun terrace
Tranquil and calm. Hotel organised tours owner to meet us to discuss options and ressonably priced. Minor problems with door key quickly dolved by owner. Breakfast Mexican continental style good and brought to our balcony. Excellent location for buses, trips, restaurants and views! Stayed 3 nights but could have stayed longer as it was so relaxing.
The property was good. The room was clean and the AC work great. The hot water also was good the only thing i would improve is the breakfast we got bread with a Nutella and peanuts butter jar and a coffe that was like water so is not much a breakfast
The property was suitable for a one-night stay. Perhaps due to the onset of winter, the area was quiet, and restaurant options were limited. However, the bathroom had limited or no water supply for a shower. Additionally, we were unable to have a good breakfast because the owner was out in the morning, and the staff had difficulty communicating, even with the use of a translator. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay.
Très bel hôtel. Au bord du port, très pratique pour aller ensuite visiter la réserve naturelle. La chambre est grande, lumineuse et climatisé. Le cadre est très joli avec une belle décoration. La sortie étant a 11h, l'hôtel nous a gardé les sacs car notre visite de la réserve naturelle a finit a 11h30. Le petit déjeuner est bon, je recommande.
The refrigerator didn't work and looked like it hadn't for a number of years. (Roger did let us put things in his kitchen refrigerator.) Water leaked out from under the bathroom floor. Breakfast was a banana, a piece of toast and 4 jars of toppings. Two of the jars, the peanut butter and the nutella were filthy. They looked as though they had been handled by hundreds of people who had never washed their hands and that the jars had never been washed. The setting of the property was right across the street from the water, which was very nice.
Wonderful from the start to the end.. Roger is a great host The view is amazing The ocean view side patio is wonderful. The property really makes you feel at home and comfotable. We had a front balcony and perfect for the breakfast that Roger would bring up to us every morning. The views and the breeze were caliming.. waking up to the birds singing. Comfotable to leave doors open throughout the night.
We had the room with the lagoon view which is beautiful. This is worth the price itself…. The room, clean and comfortable but tired, but be honest… how much did you pay!!?…. Our host was very friendly and helpful, listen to his restaurant recommendations and take a tour… You may see the raccoon in the mangroves and a crocodile too….. The bird life is amazing. Breakfast was lovely each morning 😋😋😋
The hotel is simple, but it is clean, and has a lovely space on the second floor that is open with picnic tables. We played cards while looking at the lake and the beautiful sunset. Than we turned on the string of lights and played cards while looking at the moon reflected on the water. We walked to a gourmet restaurant for dinner and had a pleasant walk on the boardwalk. The breakfast was a little too light for us, because we expected a greater quantity of fruits and coffee. All in all we loved out trip and will stay there next time we go visit Las Coloradas and Rio Lagartos.
