The cabin was well-equipped, even luxurious, with a great view. Esmeralda, our cook and staff person, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The grounds are peaceful with great bird watching. We kayaked every day and did yoga on the screened in porch. I was so happy we decided to pass by here! It was restorative and relaxing, with great affordable meals. Thank you!

The place is great to relax and be in touch with nature all the staff is amazing and they will definitely make your experience unique and you will feel like another member of the family, overall it’s a great place and there are so many things to do in the premises that you will hardly want to leave… if you are up for a drive and want to be in one of the nicest lagoons with not a lot of people around it’s definitely worth it… highly recommend it…

This hotel's location is spectacular, right next to a pristine lagoon. This is a great option for nature lovers. There's almost no light pollution, the lagoon is fully surrounded by mangroves and you can hardly see any other constructions around the lagoon. The hotel's staff is very friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious.

Excellent cabin with view of the lake. Good value for money and ecologically sound. This is in a mangrove so make sure you take repellent. Really good home cooked food!!!

Not recommend!
It’s in the middle of nowhere.. 50 km to Chetumal and there’s nothing interesting closer. Hotel is old and cheaply built. $100 per night is way too expensive for what you get. Staff was friendly but not professionally trained. I was very disappointed

In the jungle
This hotel is in the jungle in the middle of nowhere. It took us more than three hours to find the rural road it is on. However, the area is very beautiful and it was fun to spend a night in the jungle, listening to animal noises. So if you are looking for a deserted place with nothing around but nature - this is it. But if you are into bars and crowds, go elsewhere. The hotel has seven log cabins, a small pool and a tiny restaurant with average food. But given the fact that your other choice is catch your own dinner and eat it raw, you feel happy that there is a restaurant there, no matter how good. There is a beautiful lagoon there called Laguna Guerrero and you can go kayaking if you want to (kayaks provided by the hotel for free).
