Muy buen lugar para descansar y desconectarse del mundo (si se quiere, porque hay señal baja y wifi), la atención es muy buena, excelente servicio de cocina, muy atenta y buena conversación de la señora. La cabaña que nos tocó en perfectas condiciones, con una vista genial a la laguna. Cuidado: para llegar recomiendo guardar la ubicación ya que un buen tramo antes no hay señal de teléfono. Ahí mismo pueden contactarte con un guía para realizar alguno o varios de los recorridos que se hacen en la reserva de la comunidad,la cuál recomiendo ampliamente, ya que hay cascadas y nacimientos de agua. También ofrecen kayak pero yo no lo hice.

Un exelente lugar para relajarse de todo el estrés de la ciudad. con una vista increíble al lago de Catemaco el personal es muy atento ,la gente local es muy cálida. La comida está muy rica todo preparado al momento, los precios de la comida está muy accesible , en cuestión de las cabañas no son muy amplias pero son muy cómodas dentro de la cabaña cuenta con todos los servicios a excepción de agua caliente , ya si requieres bañarte con agua caliente , tendrás que solicitar una resistencia y bañarte a lo (tradicional) de ahí en fuera todo muy rico . Les recomiendo hacer el tour de la biosfera con los guías locales , exelente trato y te dan informes en las cabañas sobre los recorridos que hay ( con costos extras ) bastante económicos .

Un lugar encantador, el precio y la comida baratisima y de las mejores que he comido, los encargados son muy amables y ellos te llevan a los propios guías de grupo anolis para llevarte a la reserva benito Juárez. Las cabañas son muy frescas, la zona es muy tranquila y la zona tiene señan 3G. Cuenta con una pequeña alberca con agua fría de un pequeño manantial que pasa por ahí. De noche todo es tan apacible que te dan ganas de quedarte ahí por siempre. El precio que me dieron fue de 500 el día por cabaña, tiene bastante cosas buenas, mucho mejor que otros hoteles que tienen ese precio. Los guías no cobran y se les suele dejar al rededor de 100 a 200 de propina, la entrada al centro Ecoturístico es de $50 por persona.

Si buscas un lugar donde relajarte alejado de la ciudad este es el indicado!! Son cabañas rústicas con los servicios esenciales como luz y baño, t ofrecen una experiencia única en contacto con la naturaleza tanto que no t asustes si t topas con alguna tarántula en tu estancia en este lugar! El lugar tiene una vista increíble del lago de catemaco y buena comida en el restaurant

Site remarquable au bord du lac, un peu difficile d accès car la route est mal entretenue et révèle quelques pièges.. Des chambres un peu vieillottes mais un jardin magnifique pleine de fleurs tropicales, un réveil naturel très matinal et plutôt surprenant au son des ébats des oiseaux en tout genres...petites promenades et découverte des cascades, on a passé un bon moment et on a pas vu un seul touriste, du bonheur, hé hé hé !...

Lo recomiendo al mil, lugar perfecto, en medio de la selva, pero con ese tipo de comodidades que alguien de la ciudad necesita, sin perder la escencia de la naturaleza, cómoda, limpia, y el servicio es de lo mejor, Henri te atiende como familia. Y no necesitas comer en otro lugar, ahí es delicioso, y el precio ni se diga, muy buenos. Vayan, vayan, vayan.
