Lodges in Mexico and Central America

"If you are in Costa Rica to be close to nature, Arenal Observatory Lodge is the place to be. The views of the volcano are unbeatable and the massive grounds are teaming with wildlife--birds, coati, monkeys, reptiles. The many on-site trails are beautiful and well kept, and the optional guided tours are great. We did a guided night tour and were amazed by the wildlife we saw, all of which we never would have noticed without the guide. We ate at the restaurant for many of our meals and enjoyed...

"Room is old style but all other thing good"

"We had a small vow ceremony with some friends. We organized a small dinner on the beach that turned out great. The staff actually went above and beyond. There provided service that we didn’t expect. In addition, the dinner set up they did was incredible. I’ll never forget it. I would definitely stay here again. The one think I would have liked to know ahead of time was the $1000 hold for incidentals, that was kinda is steep. Also be forewarned that you can head everything in your room and...

"Although there are still a few things nomade can work on, (bfast included rooms must still pay $2 gratuity charge, no one keeping the peddlers/mariachi bands away from lounging beach guests, no one patrolling grounds overnight for noisy overserved guests, WiFi/phones unreliable ), this resort gets a solid A. The staff are unquestionably the kindest, most professional, conscientious people and always go the extra mile. The food is delicious, fresh and takes the words locally sourced very...

"The hotel and staff were excellent. Very nice. The bar restaurant was very good and relaxing. Would stay there agsin"

"nice, semi close to town, quiet, nice pool area, cute cabin type rooms, great breakfast, great staff, like wilderness next to the city....."

"Yard view is good. Breakfast is definitely a plus. Sound proof is not that good, but we will stay again next time."

"This place is an oasis in the rain forest! Beautiful grounds and the staff and owner were the best! Water taxis and walking is how you get around. Ton's of wildlife and a great experience! I would call it "rustic elegance". Just one item that may bother others is there is no climate control in the rooms. That did not bother us since they all have ceiling fans, but it may be a consideration of some."

"Absolutely loved our stay. Staff was amazing and attentive. The grounds are open to people staying after the park closes so it was nice to explore. They offer animal interaction feeding for a reasonable price per the room regardless of number of people, which was great! Had free fishing on grounds which kids loved. Dinning was great. Enjoyed our stay. "

"Cozy and affordable "

"We enjoyed our stay. Dining options on-site were limited, but everything else was perfect!"

"Emilio at the front desk was very helpful. I did not get the name of the morning waitress at the restaurant, but she is definitely bringing a good and cheerful vibe to your morning even if you are in a hurry. Very comfortable beds and settings. We would recommend this place."

"The lodge was exactly what we wanted, a place to stay on the edge of Uxmal that allowed us easy access to the site. The staff is well trained and caring. The concierge whose name I think is Luis hooked us up with the wonderful guide Wilbert. All good memories from this place."

"Really great facilities and awesome staff"

"Nice property. Each cabin is surrounded by trees making it completely private and relaxing. The jacuzzi in the back of my cabin was a really nice touch. Would definitely stay again. Very friendly and helpful staff"

"Very relaxing and peaceful."

"Clean spacious room with beautiful views. Very clean, friendly and respectful staff. "

"A nice quiet getaway. "

"Absolutely beautiful with excellent staff"

"Lovely stay here and would recommend. But it would help if hotel put prices up by 10% to negate the stealth tip tax at the end which was added after signing off individual meal and drink bills. Would rather sort my own tips out. Picky but irritating."
