Cons:

On pensait vivre la meilleure étape de notre séjour suite aux commentaires, on a finalement été très déçus par l’accueil (et même surpris par l’accueil très froid). C’est peut être une question culturelle, mais nous avons été très bien accueillis partout dans le Mexique.
On a surtout eu l’impression de se faire « racket ». Des que l’on voulait faire quelque chose les prix été exorbitants et pas justifiés (ex : promenade de 3h dans la forêt à 50€, presque pas d’explications malgré les nombreuses questions, taxi à 150€ la journée…)
On s’en souviendra! 😅

Posto incantevole servizi e cucina da rivedere
Pros:

Straordinaria la posizione dentro la foresta e delle camere affacciate direttamente sul fiume. In atmosfera magica e una tranquillità difficile da trovare altrove. Ci tornerei

Cons:

Nessun tipo di connessione e quindi non è possibile pagare con carta (sarebbe stato utile saperlo prima dell’arrivo). Non essendoci connessione non potevamo organizzare alcuna escursione/tour ecc e loro offrono solo il rafting. Sarebbe ideale avere una scelta più ampia.

Cibo da rivedere nelle quantità e nella qualità.

Inoltre ci è stato consigliato un driver per raggiungere Bonampak che si è rivelato disonesto.

Very nice in the middle of the jungle and very close to Bonampak. A little expensive, though.

Adequate jungle lodgings, clean and efficient.
Pros:

Very clean. Good beds, hot water. Adequate facilities.

Cons:

Efficient, friendly, but impersonal. There is food, but we’ve had much better locally. An adequate stopover if lodging is needed.

Amazing location with beautiful views
Pros:

Loved our cabin here, it was right on the river with an amazing view to look at while sitting in the hammock on our porch. The whole complex is nicely spaced out and private amongst the jungle and there is even it's own little jungle walking route you can follow without getting lost! There are options of rooms with private bathrooms but we went for a room with shared bathrooms which were really good and very clean. There is also an educational side to the site about Mayan history and caring for the jungle habitat. We stayed here as we were kayaking the river for 5 days and this was a great place to stay at the start and end as we could begin our river trip from right outside our room! Staff were friendly and they even offered to open up the restaurant for us to have dinner even though we arrived late. I would definitely stay here again and honestly can't believe why it wasn't busier.

Cons:

Nothing

Once in a lifetime Mexican Jungle River Adventure!
Pros:

Once in a lifetime jungle adventure for a great price! Staff were kind and attentive. It was super clean. Cabins on the river were amazing. We loved rafting over the waterfalls and finding hidden Mayan ruins nearby.

Cons:

Little hard to get to! But worth it

Pleasant
Pros:

Billy, the *All rol Guy* .He is the bell man, the dining ⁸qattendant, the housekeeper, the person who fixes and repairs anything. Billy was very helpful and went beyond on making our stay as much comfortable as possible
I also liked the 16 years old cook. That kid really needs to the culinary school to grow better as he has a great taste on his hand.

Cons:

1st, the change of prices as the cabin offered in booking was the one it has the bathroom outside of your room, 3 minutes walking distance
So, I had to pay 300 pesos more per night to have a bathroom inside the cabin

2nd There was no water on the shower, my naked dad had to go to the common bathroom 3 mns away from our cabin. Bill came and fixed it, but after my dad took his shower.

3 As soon as I arrived, they engaged me with a guide tour for the next day for 800 pesos. When the real guide came later, he asked me for 1200.pesos but I agreed on paying him 1000 pesos as my Dasd needed assistance going up.and down to the first lev÷l⁷
4 They told me that I needed a private taxi to go to the ruins and asked me for 700 pesos, but they only paid 600 to the taxi driver.

Well I think that they think that we tourist are the ATM machines full of money just to squeeze usno.the most
Too sad!

Pros:

Cute cabins in the woods that are quite confortable. Good for one night but we had booked 2 nights. Not much to do, expensive for what it is, no hot water and you are charged for everything (wifi essentially when you pay 80€ a night) Food average but not much variety and you need to program your menu and time that you will eat. No nearby stores or banks so plan accordingly.
