Hotel Punta Ponto ★★

"A small and family hotel in a beautiful place that is Rio Lagartos. The hotel has views of the river. Restaurants and shops to buy food, are a few minutes walk. Thanks to Roger for his warm attention, advice and recommending an excellent guide to Ariel to explore the natural reserve."

Hotel Rio Lagartos ★★★

"Nice place to stay, pool might be cleaned a bit. Room was ok"

Hotel Tabasco Rio ★★★

"The rooms are not soundproof, so you are woken up as soon as the staff or the first guests arrive. Free tea and coffee. Location in the center of the village and close to the port for excursions. A refreshment is needed for the whole hotel. For us it is ok for one night. Parking nearby closed from 11pm to 6am."

Hotel y Restaurante Macumba ★★

Hotel Villa de Pescadores ★★★

"Don't know how we could have topped this choice for our two night stay in Rio Lagartos. The off-street parking made us feel our rental car was safer and the view from our third floor balcony was beautiful. I got shots of Frigate birds flying right by our balcony in the evening. Sunset view from the roof is spectacular. You can even see Flamingos in the morning from the roof with binoculars. Felipe and his wife were excellent hosts and made us feel at home with special treats both days. (I am still looking for the chocolate and cinnamon covered ground pepita candy Felipe shared with us! Looked all over Merida, they were sooo good!) Felipe provided us with everything we needed from duct tape to a bottle of wine for our balcony bird watching. Another plus was that we found the bird watching guide we read about (Diego Nunez) right next door at his restaurant, El Torreja. Couldn't have been easier to line up a bird watching trip. Love this hotel! The absolute only negative was the loud rooster starting up around 3:30 am, but hey this is Mexico and we love being immersed in the whole ambiance. Beautiful place and we would totally stay here again. Seeing 1000's of Flamingos was like a dream come true."

Hotel El Perico Marinero ★★

"We stayed here during our tour of Mexico. We stayed at 9 places, so I think we have a fair amount of comparison material. Let me start with the positive. The staff speaks little or no English, but they really try to help the guests. The rooms are quite spacious and our room had a view of the river. There was also a bag of freshly ground coffee. Unfortunately our sheets were not clean and that is a real turn-off. The breakfast at this hotel is really bizarrely bad. The worst we have eaten in Mexico. The pool is very nice, as are the sunbeds."
