Hotel Villa de Pescadores

We stayed one night in Rio Lagartos before our flamingo tour. This hotel was rated the best in town. The good: the room was sparse, but clean. The balcony overlooking the water was spectacular. The bad: After I made the reservation I had a few questions and emailed the hotel a few times. They never responded. I finally found their Facebook page and sent them a question through Facebook Messenger. They did reply to that. No one spoke English and check in was difficult. This was somewhat expected in rural Mexico, but would have nice to have them be more prepared for non-Spanish speaking customers. There were three of us, but only two towels in the room. I used my translator app at the front desk in an attempt to get another towel. The young guy at the front desk seemed reluctant to get me a towel. After a few minutes of me pleading he left and came back with a clean, but stained, towel. When I got back to the room I noticed each bed had two pillows, one sheet and no headboard. I again went to the front desk to ask for a couple of pillows (to use as a headboard) and another sheet. I got the sheet, but apparently no pillows were available. This was kind of weird since the were many unoccupied rooms in the hotel. We spent the night banging our heads against the concrete walls. We didn't get much sleep. I can’t make any comments about breakfast, as we were not told anything about breakfast at check in. Overall the hotel was fine and worked for what we needed. On the other hand, the front desk person ( who was a young man) left a lot to be desired.

This place could be really nice, because location is great; central with beautiful water views! But the room just wasn’t clean or maintained well. It had residue in shower from dried products on walls and handle. The bathmat had not been cleaned. We were given two towels for three people. The faucet was loose and towel hook fell off of wall. Grimy walls. They advertise they can do breakfast early for those heading to early tour and they said that was impossible. (Just don’t advertise it then.) It’s not necessarily “bad” but just not being given any attention to basics. We prepaid for two nights and left after one.

About Rio Lagartos Discovery Travel Experience Friendly happy relaxed start and frustrated, helpless, sad leave In fact, the people in this small town seem to be very simple and kind. I knew that the Mexican side was very chaotic and would lose things and be robbed! But when I got here it felt different but the people were friendly and you shared their lives and made good friends over the last few days but it was stolen at the end of the trip It was very late on the first day of the town. We arrived at the scheduled hotel around 10 o'clock. The staff were waiting for us. When the staff we arrived were very enthusiastic, and the boss was very nice to book the next day's cruise itinerary with the angel under their introduction. The whole process was very happy. We booked the third day to go fishing in the morning. At eight o'clock which Angel's Dad went to sea and fish happily harvested some fish. we became friends But When we checked out on the next day I counted my belongings and money, I found that the money in my wallet was $1,000 dollars less and my diamond bracelet of about .$3,000 Not recommended to stay here
