Beach view from my room, being right on the beach close to everything yet quiet. Nice decor and private chairs on balcony.

Very nice and communicative host! He gives recommendations and serves a small breakfast with coffee or tee. There is also a kitchen, that you can use, which we didn’t know when we booked.
It was a really nice stay.

Cabana is located directly on the beach. We basically had the beach exclusively.
The cabana is equipped with everything needed for a successful stay (kitchen, living room, large comfortable bed, large TV, air conditioning and fan), and the facility is clean.
10 minutes' walk to the town center.

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!

Good hotel
very basic customer service comparing to other places we stayed on Mexico, yet the room and kitchenette very nice and clean
Beach with great sunsets 1 min walk away
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.
The location was really good. The hotel was overlooking the sea. Apart from that we visited the Nature Reserve with flamingos, other birds and mangrove forest.
- 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
