The cabin was well-equipped, even luxurious, with a great view. Esmeralda, our cook and staff person, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The grounds are peaceful with great bird watching. We kayaked every day and did yoga on the screened in porch. I was so happy we decided to pass by here! It was restorative and relaxing, with great affordable meals. Thank you!
The place is great to relax and be in touch with nature all the staff is amazing and they will definitely make your experience unique and you will feel like another member of the family, overall it’s a great place and there are so many things to do in the premises that you will hardly want to leave… if you are up for a drive and want to be in one of the nicest lagoons with not a lot of people around it’s definitely worth it… highly recommend it…
This is one of the most unique and beautiful places I have ever stayed. And the food was excellent--I just paid twice as much for a pizza in Merida that was half as good as the one I had at El Chital.
The property owner or manager never showed up the day we arrived to check in. We were ghosted and they better not charge me for the 2 nights I booked in advance!
The location is excellent, the bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water. We enjoyed kayaking in the morning. Breakfast was delicious and the service was great from the time we arrived to when we left. Definitely would revisit.
This hotel's location is spectacular, right next to a pristine lagoon. This is a great option for nature lovers. There's almost no light pollution, the lagoon is fully surrounded by mangroves and you can hardly see any other constructions around the lagoon. The hotel's staff is very friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious.

Ecological cabins! Unique location!
Excellent cabin with view of the lake. Good value for money and ecologically sound. This is in a mangrove so make sure you take repellent. Really good home cooked food!!!
It’s in the middle of nowhere.. 50 km to Chetumal and there’s nothing interesting closer. Hotel is old and cheaply built. $100 per night is way too expensive for what you get. Staff was friendly but not professionally trained. I was very disappointed
