Extended our stay as we liked it so much. A little bit out of town but they gave us bikes and we used those to get everywhere.

The cabana space felt like a five star hotel, very well equipped, clean, very comfortable bed, keurig coffee maker that made excellent coffee, good restaurant (Poseidon) next door, gorgeous views, close walk to town-- the town itself is really lacking in good restaurants, shopping and decentcoffee options. For a town that abuts a world-acknowledged biosphere preserve, there is more trash than I've seen anywhere in the world-- the river in the fishing village that opens up to the biosphere lagoon is filled with trash.

Lovely property, well-maintained, nice pool, kind and helpful host/owner (love that it's independently owned and not by a big corporation). Near-ish to the town and wonderful beach restaurants. Great recommendations for food, and arrangements made for our mangrove tour. Good wi-fi for the area.

I'm a birder, so experiencing the boat trip to see the Amerian Flamingos was unforgettable for me (and all the other birds of the Celestun area!!!) Also, Celestun faces west across the Gulf of Mexico, so the sunsets are beautiful. The town is an amazing cultural experience too. The people are wonderful. The LONG stretch of beach is quiet and clean. Motor taxis are everywhere if you don't have a car. See David at the coffee shop Casa Bacab for remarkable guided birding.

Celestun is not a pretty town, but its proximity to the mangroves and flamingos makes it special. (It's a Unesco site.) The beachside restaurants offer great seafood (coconut shrimp! ceviche!) and the prices are pretty good. Since they close down at nightfall, there are some good options in town around the main square. We didn't do a tour of the mangroves, since we had done that a few years ago, but that and seeing the flamingos are very popular activities. The beach is popular with lots of shells along the shore, and a lovely sandy bottom when you're in the water. We aren't big 'beach people' but we really enjoyed our stay and will come back again, I'm sure. We took a bus from Merida (very inexpensive at 68 pesos each way per person) -- lots of stops along the way, but the other alternatives are a rental car or a tour. This worked for us!

For birdwatching: Guardians de Los Manglares de Dzinintun.
For birdwatching: Guardians de Los Manglares de Dzinintun. We did the kayak tour and our guide Zac really enhanced our experience. When we spent the rest of the day on the beach, we could identify almost every bird we saw.
Get a big meal at one of the beachside restaurants around 3ish (my favorite was La Palapa), and then a small meal of tacos or tortas in the town square around 8.
It's important to know that the beaches are full of shells. A pro for some travelers and a con for others.

This place is paradise .
This place is paradise . It’s under developed yes but that’s part of its charm.
Wish there were a bit more facilities and better hotels around but at the same time nothing to fancy or big developments because it’s a conservation area so it really should be cared for and treated properly and with respect.
The nature there is outstanding . More of the right eco friendly investment in the area would make it a superb destination.
The flamingos and sunset are like nothing else I have seen before.

Celestun is a very quiet town in the biosphere, ideal for travelers who want to enjoy unspoiled natural beauty and be away from hordes of tourists. The beaches are pristine, the sea is clean, and the weather is perfect.

Celestun is a real Mexican town with mercado and cute main plaza ...some very nice restaurants on the sand at beach side, rather like being at a party! .EXCELLENT SEAFOOD ..There are pockets of rather dire poverty on the outskirts of town on the way to the Flamingo Preserve ...which you should do ....you can pay a moto taxi 100 pesos to take you out there, its a Gulf beach so that means little waves , so don't expect crashing surf! also fishing boats anchor in the same area as swimmers ,but no bother...great shelling and just strolling beach...water is not Caribbean crystal clear , but pleasant enough.... great safe beach for kids ...this what Acapulco must have been like a very long time ago!
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend and come back.
The place is located in a very good spot in Celestún, walking distance from downtown but far away enough to have some privacy. The hotel’s beach is beautiful and clean.
Regarding the Hotel and rooms, all the spots and decorations are great, nothing to improve.
Nico and his wife make your stay even better as they will guide or provide anything you may need.
The Hotel also has Kayaks, hammocks and paddle boards available for free.
Very comfortable and spacious rooms, all separate situated just yards from the quiet and endless beach. Quiet at night due to being a kilometre out of the centre (it is a lovely walk along the beach to the restaurants). Reonaldo is the best host, very attentive and helpful. He recommends the best local tours to see the magnificent birds here. He also set us up with two bicycles to get around on. A great way to explore lovely Celestún. Great value, highly recommended.
A lovely place to stay, right on the beach about 1km out of Celestun. A lovely 25min walk along the beach into the town. Sandra was lovely, very helpful with local info and any questions we had. Large room, everything v clean, with very comfy beds, balcony, terrace with pool, and beach area. V quiet & relaxing, a great place to stay if you are visiting Celestun, which is a lovey puebla to visit. The boat trip around the mangroves is a must.
A perfect small beachfront hotel. Loved walking out of my room to relax on a safe and quiet beach great for swimming. Wonderful seafood nearby. Very much enjoyed my 3 nights here in this gem of an establishment and village. If you are a budget traveler like myself, make the leap up in budget and indulge a bit for this stay. If you are an inclusive resort Cancun style vacationer, know this is not what you are used to.
Great value for money and very close to the beautiful beach. It's basic, but it's clean and I enjoyed my stay. It's only a short walk from the town square and bus stop. There are couple of common areas if you want to sit outside the room. Restaurants are mostly situated in the same street or around the square. Celestun is a sleepy town so it was a lovely place to unwind. I would happily stay here again.
Location was perfection! Right on the most idyllic beach, super peaceful but only a short walk to town. The room was private but still felt connected. Breakfast was delicious and there were a range of activities available if one felt the need. My hosts were incredibly kind, considerate and helpful. I certainly want to return to Casa de Celeste Vida!!!
Very nice and new Cabañas that bring you a more authentic way of living with enough comfort. The owner, Reonaldo, is very helpful what to do in and around Celestun and has great recommendations off the beaten track. You can rent bikes without any additional cost. He speaks Spanish, English and Italian perfectly. Would definitely stay again!
Our host Wanda really made our entire trip Celestun. From the moment we arrived she was friendly and helpful — offering great tips and insights on how to make the most of our short time there. It was clear throughout our stay that our comfort and enjoyment was her #1 priority.
I’d definitely stay here again if/when I return.
The pictures don’t do this one justice - the hotel is instantly welcoming. The decor was perfect - understated, clean and fresh. The hotel is right on the beach. The facilities were perfect and the owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was spot on - at the end of town so not worried by the day trippers.
Attractive lobby, rooms were spacious, good water pressure and hot water in the shower, excellent location 2 mins walks from the beach. Breakfast wasn’t included but was convenient (there aren’t many good options in the city) and good enough. Friendly staff.
A friendly place with a nice and calm location in Celestún a few blocks from the beach and the bus terminal. Very good breakfast options. Most people go to Celestún to see the thousands of pink flamingos, and we agree, that is the USP.
Very comfortable rooms, close walking distance to beach, easy check in and check out, clean, so nice to have a hammock in the room! I came back for a second night because i felt it was the best option in celestun.
The hotel was great! It looks ok from the outside but inside it's perfect!
One block away from the beach and about two blocks away from nice restaurants.
I highly recommend Celestun, a bit far away but worht it.
The location on the beach in Celestun is amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. They provided freshwater and a refrigerator in the hall to store your food. Good breakfast at their adjacent restaurant.
EVERYTHING IS STUNNING!!! We totally loved it!! Julia and her family are amazing hosts!! Everything was so neat!! Definitely RECOMMEND IT!!! best place ever to stay at the beach 💕
