    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.

    Little hard to get to! But worth it

    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.

    Accomodation is located in the rainforest. It is simple but clean and well kept. The accomodation due to the climate has no glass in the windows, only mosquito nets. This allows you to hear all the noises in the forest, an experience if you come for the first time. Overall we really liked the this place and unless you expect a luxury hotel this is a great and very friendly place. The restaurant serves simple but good food, you just have to ñlet them know if you want to eat or not so they are prepared. This acomodation is well located to visit Bonampak and Yaxchilan.

    Not the end of the world, but no Wi-Fi or mobile connection. The restaurant is very basic.

    A beautiful setting in the forest along the river. Charming spotlessly clean cabinets and friendly staff. We went on the rafting trip. Didn't expect much but it turned out to be fun. Two hours rafting followed by a two hour walk through the jungle with a very pleasant swimming and snack stopover. Water available from a water fountain supplied on site.

    I found it difficult to sleep due to noise from a nearby waterfall. Inevitably in its riverside/jungle setting there were a lot of insects, so repellent is a necessity.

    It was convenient for visiting nearby ancient ruins. Set on a river Bank in the jungle the scenery is amazing and it is possible to swim in the river. The accommodation was basic but clean. The staff were delightful and breakfast was good.

    The check in staff didn’t seem to speak great Spanish (nor English). Go to the communal showers before dark to avoid too many mosquitos!

    The location is great, right in the jungle and close to Bonampak and Yaxchilan. the restaurant on site is very convenient for dinner and breakfast. The room itself was large, basic amenities (you would expect) but more than enough for a couple of days. Right by the waterfall with stunning views

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

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

    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!

    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.

    Did not like the kitchen. We stayed 4 nights and it wasnt great to always eat the same things. I think the place is a bit overprices. You have to pay to move around - jungle walks, bonampak ride… and its not cheap at all. Unfortunately because of border problems other ruins (Yaxchilan) were closed…

    Amazing location, very attentive and friendly stuff, especially Juan. Spotlessly clean! Close to Bonampak and Golondrinas waterfalls.

    Generally overpriced with a very poor price/quality ratio. The staff is spoiled, no internet, no credit cards, poor food, you must pay for every single thing you do, like the access to a cascade in the forest, even though we already paid a guide plus a toll to enter the Reserva Lacandona. Sustainable tourism is not pilling the tourist with a pretended "wild/authentic" place.

    The sound of the forest .

    There was only one man who spoke English and he did not speak to us. We thought we would get an education on the Lacandon community, history and of the area. I guess that’s our own fault for not speaking enough Spanish. Our tour of the jungle was very rushed. We did not get any information on the animals there. The tour guide was lovely to speak with, but there was a lack of education for us. This was not her fault for not speaking English. If you do not speak Spanish, it is more worth your while to take your time walking to the waterfall yourself as you will not learn anything from a tour.

    The location is beautiful. The river, waterfall and massive trees are breathtaking. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly, funny and accommodating. We seen a beautiful mouth with a crocodile like head, a squirrel and a big spider.

    Staff VERY unpleasant and not kid friendly: I informed that we were a family with baby when making the booking but they seemed surprised and unhappy to see me coming with a baby with “don’t get the bedsheets dirty with your baby, we will come to check afterwards” as unique words.. Not much information given about what to do in the surroundings.. despite having done 5h drive to reach that place. The junction is poorly indicated if you come from the south, Las Nubes. Restaurant serves very basic food; not much choice. There are plenty of other hotels in the surroundings; go for another one.

    nice river view from the bedroom
