The view from the front balcony rooms is awesome. Very rustic but relaxing accommodation. Restaurants very close by. Excellent guides are available for outings.
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.
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.
The location is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Close to bus station. Roger is very kind and helpful. If you go for tours wait to talk to him before booking anything as he knows the best options. Wish there had been a refrigerator, even a shared one in the lobby. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was ok first and second day but third day I got scrambled eggs. Why I don’t know. Only suggestion is a bath mat. Bathroom floor and shower are extremely slippery! Lovely place to visit for a few days. Please go to restaurant la Mojarrita. Sit upstairs - excellent food and service. Say hi to Pedro and Juan
We loved this place. Balcony overlooking the fishing boats and estuary was wonderful. This might be the best room in town.

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!
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
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!
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.
Basic But Clean. I Pick Up the one room with terasse and View. It is worth the View...that is all about Rio lagartos: the beautifull landscape. Breakfast ( Vers Basic too) with sunrise before the boat trip.
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 😋😋😋
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.
