This hotel stands out as the best value I’ve seen after years of staying in mid to low range Mexican hotels. My room was the quietest I’ve had in Mexico, on the 2nd floor with a well furnished terrace looking out over the water. The room was bright and spotlessly clean. The two complaints I see the most of in reviews are: no hot water and uncomfortable pillows. NOT the case here! Super- comfortable bed and pillows, lots of hot water. A very nice continental breakfast with a thermos of coffee is brought to you on the terrace each morning by Sylvia or Roger, the very friendly management team. Roger arranged a boat tour for me with Ariel, an extremely knowledgeable licensed guide and naturalist; well worth doing.

The host is very nice. She took the time send information ahead of my stay to prepare for my visit to Rio Largatos. I felt very comfortable here.

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.

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!

Happy and relaxing 3 days

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.

Perfect boutique hotel and more

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!

The property was suitable for a one-night stay. Perhaps due to the onset of winter, the area was quiet, and restaurant options were limited. However, the bathroom had limited or no water supply for a shower. Additionally, we were unable to have a good breakfast because the owner was out in the morning, and the staff had difficulty communicating, even with the use of a translator. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay.

8/10 Very good

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

6/10 Good

The hotel had a genuine feeling, but it felt a little basic. The room was big enough, the bathroom more than adequate. Aircon worked. We would have loved that the lady at the reception spoke some English. We made due with our little knowledge of Spanish. The same lady however contacted a partner who could provide us with the necessary excursions for the next dat. Great recommendation. Small note of critique: the headboard of the bed was made out of some kind of fresh wood (I'm not sure the chirping sound of some kind of insect / woodworm was supposed to be there...). Breakfast was simple, but ok.
