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!

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.

Great!
Super clean, stylish, and comfy rooms with hot water. Two steps from the port and meeting points for the boat excursions. One of the best seafood restaurants next door. I can fully recommend!

Cute room / Friendly front staff
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.

Cómodo y buen servicio
Todo muy bien con el hotel. Tiene una excelente ubicación, el personal es muy atento y las habitaciones son cómodas. El pueblo es pequeño y se puede caminar todo el tiempo. Muchas actividades para realizar en los alrededores. Muy recomendable llevar suficiente efectivo ya que los cobros con tarjeta fallan mucho.
