Beautiful location and comfortable room. The terrace is a wonderful spot for for breakfast and later beers, as well as a dip in the pool! The hotel staff are very attentive and provided extremely clear and helpful instructions on how to arrive to the lagoon. Tip - bring cash! Aside from the hotel, most places are cash only.

Relaxing Beachfront Sanctuary!

New place to stay2 weeks ago

Recommend 100%. Expansive private beachfront property, incredible at dawn. Simple natural building and accommodation. Large kitchen and dining area. Very friendly atmosphere. Personally, from what I saw of the village cabanas, or the more ‘resort style’ places on the road, Shanti Lanka is a better choice, especially if you’re over 30. The collectivo runs regularly, at least every hour, from 8-6 to and from the village, and takes 5 minutes, or it’s a nice 30 min walk to the laguna for swimming.

Daniel was a great host. His spot is pretty remote but offers everything you need for a relaxing get away. The rooms were just a bit east from where our boat driver dropped us off, took a few minutes talking with the locals to figure that out. The AC worked well and room was as described. We would stay again if headed to Chacahua!

Cabin 14 “ALEgRIA” front beach @ Casa Gitana

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews1 month ago

We had a magical stay in casa Gitana! the hut right at the beach was amazing and very comfortable. With the fan the temperature was great, the hut is closed off from mosquitos and the bed was very comfortable. It is a 15 minute walk to town, so it is nice that the hotel has food & drink service. The view from there is amazing! There were quite some ants in the hut (and on the bed when we arrived; easy to clean off), but hey you are in nature, part of the experience! For us it was no inconvenience at all. Just don't bring a lot of sugary goods ;)
