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 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!
One night stay in March. Nice large villa with rooms. We had two rooms with balconies overlooking the sea. Rooms were large with good facilities. There was secure car parking for our hire car. Very limited choice of accommodation in the local area and this was a good option. A short drive to see the Celestun pink flamingos and great to get there early for an early visit from which we then drove south to Campeche for our next night stay.
The most beautiful spot in Celestún. It was well organized from A to Z and everything was thought of. Everything is so loving and friendly. The communal kitchen is wonderful and the breakfast is a dream. We unfortunately had to leave after 2 nights. But we promise to come back.
A true dream place. You feel so at home. it's a dream place.
Thank you for everything.
Wonderful stay with Reonaldo, staff, and Marcelo the pooch! The Cabañas are comfortable with everything you should need. Beach is a short walk and breakfasts are delicious. Best part was meeting Reonaldo, the Italian owner, who is very kind and helpful, and makes his guests feel right at home. We met some very nice fellow travellers as well.
Lovely, well tended, secure property on the shell-strewn beach with rooms overlooking the emerald green Gulf. Little touches, such as the coffee, the art pieces, and the individual attention provided by the owner, Nicholas, makes a difference. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Bed is big and comfy.
The location of the hotel is right on the beach. The room was excellent and the free hot water for making your own complementary coffee/tea/noodles was much appreciated. The free drinking water as well. The room had a little fridge. I can highly recommend hotel San Julio!
Reonaldo was the perfect host. Great local information. Super breakfast. The cabana was beautifully built with all the facilities you would expect in a hotel. We were treated as a friend rather than a customer. A welcome change for a traveller. Thank you Reonaldo.
Located right on the beach. Good wifi. Good value. Most rooms face a patio that is only a few meters from the beach. Two rooms face the street. Ask for a patio facing room. Small hotel, so usually quiet. Small table and two chairs in room to eat at is a plus.
Very beautiful property. It’s a restored house that was divided to create different hotel rooms so you have a huge beach front backyard with an infinity view of the ocean. The sea breeze passes right through the yard, we fell asleep every afternoon.
The hotel is classy with local touch and equipped with all you need.
The owners are amazingly friendly and discreet. They help you with lota of informations on the things to do in the city.
The beach access is very close and very well equipped.
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.
Everything was great. It is a brand new hotel at the front beach. The services in over the average, and the pools are incredible, the rooms are big with comfortable beds. The food is delicious
The ambience of the hotel was lovely. There is a little supermarket across the street. The room was quite big and had a fridge. Which was nice in the hot weather.
We had a large room - a bedroom and a living room. We were right at the beach and there was a pool too. It was very quiet there and we had plenty of hot water.
- comfortable bed and amazing location (1-2 min walk from the beach)
- friendly and attentive family running the hotel
- parking on site
- working A/C and fan
