I paid additional $200 (Mexican) and update a room. It was a wonderful room with a view to a lagune. Absolute wonderful. We got up early due to jet leg and from a balcony obtained 180 degree view to free space, boats going to fishing and with birds singing at the background. Bed is comfortable,. Bathroom is OK. Good place for one night flamingo tour.

Great location, friendly staff, they offer great tours. The breakfast was good, but would benefit fresh juices instead of juice boxes.

We loved our stay here! The space and apartment were really modern, clean and well equipped. I loved that you could see the water from the room too, plus the hammock was lovely to relax on. It was the perfect place to relax. The hosts were really helpful and booked us a tour out to see the flamingos. He was excellent and both the accomodation and the trip made Rio Lagartos a standout stop on our Mexico trip.

Rio Lagartos is a fishing village that is refreshingly immune to tourism except for nature tours. The location was excellent. Both Victor and Ariel were wonderful taking us on boat rides and nature watching tours. Ariel's English was pretty good and he was always available to help. I really enjoyed being with him. It's really close to the restaurants and the one next door has a fabulous sunset views. I enjoyed just sitting down by the dock and watching the water. The deck has nice chairs for reading.

Right up in the middle of nowhere!
Right up in the middle of nowhere! Beautiful little waterfront town. Access to flamingos, fresh seafood and a very chill vibe. Bring cash, dress down, relax. Do not expect too much from this place or the people, but do expect to be wow-ed by the scenario on the water and the public beach areas, access to the freshest food and the friendliest smiles. 2-3 nights is plenty in this location.

Nice village, but when we entered the village by car on our way to the hotel we were chased by someone on a scooter trying to sell us a boat tour, which we felt was very inappropriate and unsettling. We booked a tour next to our hotel at Rio Lagartos Adventures because they treat the evironment and the animals they encounter during their tours with respect (no directly disturbing or feeding the animals). Beautiful sunsets, highly recommended visit.

We did not travel round town as we visited purely to to the river boat trip. We booked a last minute night tour. I must admit that we were extremely lucky that our guide caught a relatively medium sized crocodile (he himself was was surprised at the size when he grabbed it as he thought it was much smaller). The kids loved it and we had a great time, however I must say that we were EXTREMELY lucky to see one at night let alone catch it and bring it onboard. The guide also had lost hope in seeing our catching one. So if you intend to do this tour ask and ask again what the chances are, the tour operators never give any guarantees but 70% chance vs 10% makes a big difference. We had about 10% though they only told us this once we were off!!
We also booked day river trip which left at 7am this was also great fun and we same plenty of birds including flamingos though at a distance. I highly recommend the tour and Rio lagartos is definitely worth the trip.
We ate at La Majoritta restaurant. The food was exceptional and real good value for money. Be aware that there are only 4 tables, but I don’t think Rio lagartos gets very busy.
We also went up to The colorades, though I have mixed feelings about the place. Yes the lakes are pink. And they look pretty however to view them closely you need to pay 350mx /person to walk for 30min along man made salt lakes. In my opinion this extortion. We saw them from outside. From Rio lagartos this is a 30min drive.

We came with rented car to Rio Lagartos just for 1 night and it was too short. Next time we will spend in this small village at least 2 or 3 nights. Of course, there isn't too much what to do after the sunset, but during the day nature is really amazing.

The city itself is not very beautiful and there is no much to do in it, but you just need to rent a boat in the port to have a great day and admire the animals in the wild.
We managed to see: crocodiles, flamingos, pelicans, cranes, eagles, raccoons ...
I also recommend visiting Sendero Petén Mac !

There is an important bioreserve for flamingoes and hundreds of other birds as well as raccoons and crocodiles. We had an excellent tour guide. The tourist industry is developing there and we enjoyed meals out and coffee at nearby restaurants.
We loved our stay here! The space and apartment were really modern, clean and well equipped. I loved that you could see the water from the room too, plus the hammock was lovely to relax on. It was the perfect place to relax. The hosts were really helpful and booked us a tour out to see the flamingos. He was excellent and both the accomodation and the trip made Rio Lagartos a standout stop on our Mexico trip.
Clean and comfortable for a few nights. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved staying in this fishing town. The hotel is very close to the water. It was nice to have the balcony space to lounge in even if it was a shared space with another room. It looked out onto a street view with the town square that can be noisy if there are events taking place (as it was when we were there).
A basic, but comfortable hotel right on the sea front, close to the boat tours and a five minute walk from the restaurants.
Recommend Ria Maya restaurant for dinner and breakfast.
Boat tour didnt get too close to the flamingos - if you have a car, drive the beautiful road through Las Coloradas onto the spit of land - just beautiful and birds much closer.
This hotel is located in Rio Lagartos, close to Las Coloradas. We spent the night after visiting Las Coloradas. The host doesn't speak English but she arranged for Flamingo tours for us which we declined. The rooms and washroom were excellent. There is a pool as well in the property. The room is spacious and well equipped with TV and an Air conditioner.
I love staying at the Hotel Villa de Pescadores each and every time that I travel to Rio Lagartos. The hotel is very clean and the staff is warm and friendly. The location is right on the shore of the Ria Lagartos and is very close to marinas and restaurants. The view is beautiful, with flamingos usually being visible from here during the right season.
I liked just about everything about my stay at the hotel. The fact that there's a large bird roost right behind the place with flamingos and other birds was amazing (we were here in January)!
Big delicious breakfast was included, the hotel is located right by the docks, and the room was clean and individually air conditioned. The staff can help organize boat tours for you.
Great localisation - we went for a boat trip exactly from the pier next to the hotel, also it has really amazing restaurant and bar. Breakfast (croissant and fruits) was nice.
Nice for overnight or several days, in an isolated area of the Yucatán. Exceeds expectations. Room 8 has beautiful hand painted mural of quetzal birds.
