The location the hotel was great, right on the beach. It’s a basic hotel no frills!! Close to nice restaurants right in the center of the town. The room was clean, it was upstairs go up on the outside stairs. The amenities were basic but adequate. It had A/C but we didn’t need it, it was chilly. It would have been nice of there was a comforter! We didn’t ask for a blanket either. It had no front/reception desk, the manager/ owner (?) lived down stairs. There’s no signage of the hotel, we asked at another hotel on the street and he guided us there, the GPS was not helpful. We had a peaceful quiet stay.

One of My Favorite Stays in Mexico!

Super clean, fantastic service, comfortable beds with crisp cotton sheets, beachfront with a view to die for. Yes, it's basic but it's also very affordable. Absolutely a gem!

Not what we expected.

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.

Excellent value for money. The hosts were welcoming and keen to help. This is a fairly simple establishment but the rooms were spotless, with clean linen; everything worked there was free WiFi, hot water and the rooms were well lit. Quiet at night. We had use of the balcony from which to watch the sunset, the pelicans and even a pod of dolphins. The only change I would make is to add a non slip mat outside the bathroom. I slipped stepping down with wet feet.

Here’s a polished version that still feels honest and helpful: This is a family-run hotel with the owners living downstairs and the guest rooms located upstairs with private outdoor stairways and entrances. The family was very kind and accommodating throughout our stay, and they even allowed us to park in their carport, which was greatly appreciated. The room itself was clean and simple with the bare essentials. There is no TV, but the room does have air conditioning. It took quite a while for the room to cool down, so I would recommend turning the A/C on before heading out for the day so it is comfortable when you return. One of the best features of the property is the outdoor space. There are a couple of tables on the upstairs deck where you can sit and enjoy the ocean view. You can also walk directly onto the beach through the back gate, and they have a palapa on the beach with a table and chairs that are perfect for relaxing or enjoying a meal by the water. Overall, this is a budget-friendly stay in a great beachfront location with very friendly hosts.

Very basic room, has stains all over the walls, bathroom was pretty dirty and needs updating. Amenities were lacking, only given 2 pillows per bed, Didn’t provide enough towels or give hand / face towels. No hand soap or conditioner and gave a small 1 pack of shampoo that was also bad quality. This place could do so much better.

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.

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.

Great value on the beach

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.

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!!
