Hotel Manglares

We got great care and service from Roberto and his crew from the moment we arrived. Mostly Spanish is spoken aside from Roberto. Everybody was helpful and friendly. The cabana is more like a well done studio apartment. Very spacious and clean. The sheets were smooth and good quality (hard to find, even at a 5 star place in Mexico)! The cleaner came 4 of 5 days, and we left around 50 pesos ($3.00 USD) a day for her. Plan to bring smaller bills to tip. She left more coffee, towels, took out garbage (because remember, no toilet paper goes into the toilet), and cleaned the floors etc... Of the four cabanas facing the sea, this is the only one that is restored post hurricanes. The others appear to be uninhabitable. It did appear as though we were the only guests staying, on the rather large property. Luckily there was an attendant/front desk person there 10 hours a day. Apparently there are rooms available in the three story building that also faces the ocean. Since the village is known to be safe, I wasn't scared, and felt quiet comfortable. There is a working air conditioning unit which was helpful when it was too smokey to leave the windows open. The beach is gorgeous, there is a palapa for shade and a couple of chaise loungers. Next door is The Posedian Restaurant and pool (didn't seem to be in working order) for your use as well. It's a 5-7 minutes walk south to the town's public beach where there are vendors selling clothes and souvenirs and many restaurants. It's also an easy walk to the town square to go to the grocery etc... If needed you can always get a mototaxi for a ride as well. Our party of five agreed, that this is one of the nicest places in town (we saw three others). Here's to the lovely place Roberto has made for guests coming to enjoy Celestun for a few days!

Locking screens on the patio doors and windows would be great. A basin of water, outside the door on the beach side would help with sand and keeping the cabana clean after beach walks.

Wonderful beachside cabana with beautiful views, quiet location but very accessible to town and restaurants. Rodrigo was a fantastic and attentive host , speaks good English and went above and beyond to help us with our needs. Spacious living room, fully equipped kitchenette, and comfortable bed. A humongous tv, good WiFi, and extra niceties like coffee, wine, and bottled water. Even a jetted tub and the best shower I’ve experienced in years!

Nothing could have been better.

It was perfect! Really clean.
