There's not a lot of touristy stuff in Chetumal. However, Hotel Juliet is a pretty decent place to stay in the middle of what's there. It's clean and across the street from much of what you'd want in Chetumal. Don't freak out that cars drive right into the hotel lobby. It means your car will be secure. Across the street is the mercado viejo (which you can use to give a taxi directions). If you need a bag or torta, you can get it there cheap. As well, the Museum of Mayan Culture is next to that, and if you are going for Mayan Ruins, this will give a lot of context and interpretation before you visit the ruins (bilingual, too). The bus station is right behind the market, with the added benefit that the area is crawling with taxis. Really, the hotel is about the location: it's central to much of what you want. Besides that, it's pretty comfortable, and has WIFI. I found the wifi to be a bit unreliable in my room, but I could fix it by moving a bit. I think it's a quirk of being on the end of the top floor. Otherwise, my only real complaint is that the lock on the door wasn't up to US standards. It's a simple push-button door knob, so if you neglect to push in the button before closing the door, it will be unlocked when you leave. However, learning this the hard way with all my stuff inside, there wasn't any problem with crime or security. It's a good place for a base to head to the cenote or sleep before heading to Bacalar or Belize.
