Disliked: Cleanliness
Pictures on website are super edited. It is horrible. Not clean at all. Green pool. Bug all over the place. Not well kept at all. I understand it is outdoors but they dont keep up with the maintenance or housekeeping. Dont get fooled by the pics or good reviews. I ended up looking for somewhere to stay in Merida and very disappointed.
This place is fine. Maybe a little rougher than what it appears. That’s OK. Just realize it’s more camping style. there’s no food service and only one restaurant in walking distance. Also don’t expect them to warn about Red Tide at the beach.
There was a small kitchen area where you are able to cook your own food. The bed was nice and large, but a little stiff. The employees here do not speak English, but are very friendly and willing to use a translator to communicate. Overall I would definitely recommend these Cabanas. You're very close to the town of Chelem, which is a cute town, but not very touristy, so most people do not speak English.
Thank you Alfred for your GREAT Customer service you may not feel home!!! I highly recommend this property. It’s a great place to relax and away from the traffic in the states

Beautiful property and place. We stayed in the 2 story suite which was lovely. It gets really hot on the top floor though which is the bedroom. The air conditioner can’t really keep it cool enough since it’s a palapa and lots of open air. It gets windy at night so that’s nice with windows open. Air conditioner dripped down on your head though in the middle of the night so had to turn it off. Private little pool was our favorite.
The property was beautiful and peaceful. They take obvious pride in the cleanliness and upkeep of the cabanas. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and handled our language barrier with great patience. Would definitely stay here again.
Not only safe and quiet but kid and dog friendly as well. If you’re not a guest there, you should be. I’m booking another night then going to the beach; which I haven’t seen yet.
They treat every guest as VIP. Let loose relax at this gem I promise it’s worth it. World class seafood right across the street.
Thanks for the love shown me here
We loved the idea of staying in an authentic Mayan Grass Hut. Great idea with the windows which allowed a nice breeze to flow through as well as the shell for the sink water. I would recommend to others to experience this.
The only suggestion I would make is to change what is used to clean the toilets as the odor was overwhelming and not an enjoyable scent.
We have been to many places which is the only way to go for a great experience as they are all unique in their own way.
