We stayed one night in Rio Lagartos, arriving with the direct bus from Merida. We were picked up at the bus station and could arrange a trip to the Flamingos for the next day. The hotel is very clean, nice views on the Laguna, all restaurants are in walking distance (as Rio Lagartos is really small). The manager Sr. Massa... More

Good location, except the front upstairs room which is noisy due to traffic 4 meters away intermittantly throughout the weekday night. Roger is friendly for the evening shift, but hasn't taken the time to learn how to turn on the internet, so If you need to use it to make plans, make sure you can log on before the day... More

A typical seaside hotel in the old Mexico tradition. Clean, airy, with an internet link, TV, and AC .... almost modern, but thankfully not quite. Lots of basic charm, a host, Roger, who cared and a hot water system that was mysterious, but finally worked. A good full breakfast which we supplemented with pan dulce from the local bakery. Super... More

We sat on the balcony overlooking the ocean and relaxed as we watched many bird species fly overhead. One never gets tired of watching the spectacle. The rooms were basic but spotlessly clean. Roger was very accommodating and spoke good English. A good base for flamingo and birding tours.

This was my second visit to the Hotel Punta Ponto. What a wonderful hotel. The rooms are large and spotless, with television and air conditioning. Roger and everyone there did everything they could to make sure I enjoyed my visit. A formation of flamingos flying in the late afternoon sun helped make the visit special. I know I'll be back...

This is a beautiful hotel with a view of the ocean... Roger and his fmaily were incredibly welcoming and always available to me with advice or an interesting conversation! The place feels fresh, clean and airy and they have all the amenities you are after with Aircon, wifi, tv etc. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

The owner and his team are very welcoming and friendly. But the place needs a lot of love too. In the pitures of this place you can not see the broken floortiles, the riped shower curtain, the over sized fridge, the old paint, which all might need some touch ups. The place needs a make over to fit the colorful... More

Diego Nunez, our tour guide for our bird watching boat trip for photographers recommended this small hotel. It was a good recommendation, a great location away from the busy part of the shoreline and the closest to the Mangrove park. My husband and I stayed two nights. Our room was very large for just the two double, firm mattress beds.... More

This little hotel is a gem and a hidden treasure in the middle of nowhere. The room was huge, but simple. White washed walls, a telly, a fridge, two big beds and two bedside tables. Our room was overlooking the lagoon and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunrise from the balkony. The owner was extremely friendly and he organised a... More

Stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Proprietor very friendly and helpful. Had a room overlooking the sea, large and very clean, the American breakfast was great. Why more people don't visit this area, it has so much more than the Cancun/Tulum coast has to offer unless you just want to be in a hotel which could be... More
