The hotel was not as expected. The people running it (apparently a mother and her son) were very nice. They didn't speak Spanish, which is OK. But the first room they took us to had an offensive odor, so they did give us another room, which wasn't so bad. The room appeared to be clean, but was more like a barracks than a hotel room, with board-like mattresses and a very basic shower. We didn't expect much for the money, but were not impressed. On the other hand, it was right on the beach, so the location is good.
A gem in Celestún. We want to thank you Alejandra the person in charge of this spot. You get what you pay for. Rooms are comfortables and very clean with an impressive view of the beach right at your door.
We enjoyed the view of the beach and watching the sunset from the balcony. The rooms are adequate, and clean with all of the basic needs.
The property could use some signage from the street as there is no way to know it is there unless you are using google maps.
Good:
Big room with great air con and plenty of hot water in the shower.
There is private parking for a couple of cars.
Walk out the back door and you're on the beach very close to where the boats leave for the flamingo tours.
Covered area on beach with sun loungers and table and chairs - great for an evening drink to watch the sunset!
Not so good:
Waterproof cover on mattress which made for a bit of a sweaty night's sleep. Other than that the bed was very comfortable.
A simple room in a small 5 room hotel right on the beach. The town of Celestun is friendly to visitors and tourists but not overrun with them. it has a genuine feel of a small Mexican fishing village and visitors intermingle comfortably with the inhabitants. interesting biological reserve adjacent to town has numerous bird and amphibious species, and dolphins can be see swimming near the pier that juts into the ocean where local fishermen and residents gather every day and evening.
A great alternative to the resort town and all in inclusive package type of stay.
My stay was very pleasant. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The direct beach access is an incredible feature. The price is reasonable and the beds very comfy. I'd stay again for sure.

Alejandra was an awesome host!!! Very kind and informative.
I felt very much at home. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the beach is just outside your door! Thanks so much Alejandra for a wonderful stay!!! 🙂
Simply perfect though took me a minute adjust, but that was the point - a sort of reset from my busy city life. Sleep, eat beach, maybe a kayak/bike trip through the mangroves (see the owner of Cafe Dayad). Not a bustling town when I visited, but not totally quiet, either.
The owner & staff were *wonderful*. Thank you!!! 💯😊
The beaches are not perfect but manage expectations and know that the water is great and ideal for ocean water lounging/swimming - once 5 feet into the not-too-wavy ocean - since the sand leading in is half covered with shells. The ocean remains shallow for a solid 10 meters which is nice. I wish the town would maintain the sand a bit better.
Celestun was more raw and real than a typical manicured vacation town, which takes a moment to adjust to, and which you grow to love but at first was unexpected. It can be chaotic and is not always clean - unlike the hotel which itself is perfectly clean (and amazingly located).
I would love if there was a good way for the guests to have coffee or tea on the property in the morning since Dayad and other spots nearby have unreliable hours.
There are some cute and lovely places to eat in town (3 minutes away) but be weary as many places are sub-par. Also, there are two particularly nice places to eat on the water.
Very few people spoke English and I don’t speak Spanish but I made do and you will too.
Alejandra: thank you!!
Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la posada Maria Isabel! C'est un petit paradis avec une vue incroyable sur les couchers de soleil. Cet endroit nous fait apprécier la plage, l'océan,les bateaux de pêcheurs et la gentillesse des habitants. Alejandra est une hôte tellement accueillante, avec ses conseils elle a su rendre notre séjour très agréable. Nous reviendrons séjourner ici avec plaisir. Un gros merci aussi à ses employés serviables et souriants.

Disliked: Cleanliness
No me gusto que no ponen agua para tomar, el cuarto tenia un mal olor es el mueble largo que tienen de madera esta apestoso, lo único bueno es que tiene vista ala playa desde un balcón que tiene la casa porque nada mas tiene una habitación con vista ala playa.
Great location, right on the beach & only a stroll to the restaurants. Simple nice room but poor shower & no fridge. Great balcony looking out over the beach & the lighthouse.
