The staff were excellent. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The roof top deck was such a great space to have a drink on and to look at the views of the river. The pool with swings and a bar was a great place to hang out in to cool down on a hot day.

This hotel has potential but missed the Mark in so many ways. Unorganized staff, that you couldn't recognize as staff, no uniforms no name tags, less than hospitable service. Attention was needed during all 4 nights of our stay to cleaning common areas and the pool. The room was clean and beds comfortable. There was a family of raccoons living in the walls of the hotel which we saw come and go from the holes in our patio roof which made it smell and was very noisy at night. The town itself is fabulous, and this hotel has potential if they would make some improvements.

Employees at desk and restaurant were friendly & helpful. Room was spacious and had a small balcony with a view of the harbor. Bed was pretty new but hard. Pool was cool ... but not cold, and the poolside furniture was serviceable. Breakfast included with hotel stay was more than decent: fresh fruits, coffee, eggs. Beer & wine selection could be better. Rio Lagartos is not a sophisticated town, so don't plan on fancy fancy, but it's a good place to relax and to go on a nature tour (flamingos, pelicans, frigates, crocodiles, mangrove, etc). Just about every restaurant in town advertises tourist information; after a bit, you learn to tell them you want less, not more, information. Price for the room, esp as it included food, was very good, and the staff would make up your room every day if you wanted it done.
A view of hotel from the pool ... with very pale legs (to date).
A restaurant across from the hotel advertising tourist information: resist the impulse!
A view from our balcony at night ... onto a kids' playground.
Tour captain steered us into mangrove ... and posed us romantically.

We liked the quaintness of the hotel. It was clean and presented well. We didn’t like the food that we had ordered. This is why we give the 4 star review.

The room suite was good, clean and with a nice view. The wi-fi was excellent. But on the negative side the breakfast service was really poor, mediocre. It took us 45 minutes after the order to get our eggs. No choice in drinks. Poor choice in bearkfast stuff.

Staff are super helpful and friendly, the hotel is spotlessly clean. I really want to leave a good review as they are trying so hard, but there are shortcomings that could easily be addressed. The rooms are pretty basic and a couple of glasses, a hairdryer, extra towels etc would make a huge difference. Restaurant staff need proper training - they try very hard but seem unsure as to what they should be doing. They didn’t offer us the correct breakfast menu or explain options. There wasn’t much choice on the menu but food was ok.

Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. The hotel was clean and tidy and our room was very large. The pool and garden are kept tidy and the boardwalk through the mangrove to the edge of the lagoon was great. Fabulous place to sit and watch the flamingos and other birds on the lagoon.

This beautiful hotel was hosted by the most friendly of people. Very clean property - the rooms were nice. The pool didn’t look like it was ready for visitors. Not dirty but also not clean. A little work on the pool area would help tremendously. The breakfast? Chef’s kiss - it was out of this world. Only issue I experienced was the mattress was really hard. I think mattress toppers should be considered by management. Highly recommend for a short stay. The staff was so friendly & so nice to talk with.
