"Pros: Absolutely beautiful, quiet place near the edge of Celestun. Right across the street from a quiet beach where we had the whole beach to ourselves in the mornings and even saw dolphins swimming. The cabanas are very clean, comfortable and have a lovely ambience. Reonaldo is an excellent host and someone who does a lot for the community. We had some great conversations. He and the staff were very kind and helpful, and they have built a very special place. The breakfasts were excellent and they served very good strong coffee! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little slice of paradise.
Cons: The only thing I can suggest to improve is that the bed was a little bit hard - but we like quite soft beds with lots of pillows :)" ~Ayla
"Pros: Fabulous view from my 2nd floor open and spacious apartment w/ balcony. I splurged on this spot for a 60th bday gift to self! A friend joined me for part of the time and a couple local friends came to visit for dinner and pina coladas. Borrowed a blender! Happy I could bring my dog, who I met as a street puppy here 4 years ago. Puma and the lovely property mascot, Macho, became buddies and Macho was a love and became part of our crew. Enjoyed stunning views from rooftop early in day and a special spot for yoga, hanging one’s laundry to dry. Fabulous beach and sea right out front a two minute walk from apt! Very quiet and great for r&r! Apt is one of two in this new building. No one was in other apt. There’s a house closer to the beach within Casa del Mexicano property and a couple groups came and went in cars. One group thought I was the host :) I wish! I didnt rent a car and walked, took the colorful/open air taxis of Celestun and it wasn’t an issue. Coincidentally, two guests arriving after me from Argentina, I had been in touch with 4 years earlier in trying to facilitate and plan a spay/neuter day in Celestun! We had never met though. They had me over for a delicious dinner- cooked steak n the outdoor bbq, and stayed in the main Casa! It has an amazing kitchen and screened in porch - lovely. Casa is a stone’s throw - about 50 feet from the sea! Gorgeous beach - serene morning swims. Gracias for a beauty filled stay!
Cons: -Non functioning internet latter part of vacay/work 10 day stay.
Hopped on neighbor’s across street that was working, from the calle or Take laptop into town at 1. Casa Bacab’s - great coffee/amazing open air bathroom or 2. Los Lobos or another restaurant such as Las Pompanos or Las Palapas - bring headphones if need quiet.
-Electrical outages on two muy hot days. Not a host thing, but rather a heads up for others. Not uncommon to have them here, but if due to utility work, town alerts you in advance as happened at my next spot. We got 💨 lucky. Knocked out from wind.
-Non-operational bedroom AC Remote. We worked it out after inquiring with helper on site, & got new batteries next day. Should have asked Julia- lovely and responsive Host! Go to her first :)
-Again not a host thing, but smoke from burning brush and trash nearby." ~Maggie
