We only stayed one night here but received a great welcome. The rooms are delightful and the location next to the lagoon is a dream. We borrowed the kayaks and swan in the beautiful water and then Yolanda cooked us a delicious meal. This is great value and a very rustic and serene place to stay.

good property. Yolanda is great and responsive. We showed up late and she was nice to entertain our arrival, particularly as we were then using all the stored solar power. The road there was sort of a nightmare in the dark. It's not clearly marked and full of potholes. But the property is gorgeous. our room was fine - definitely... More

We stayed here for just the one night. We booked via the Internet, so were not too sure what to expect, but it certainly ticked all the boxes. Yolanda replied very quickly & was extremely efficient. We stayed in Venus, which is a very big room with 2 double beds & a single bed, kitchenette, lounge, bathroom, verandah with chairs... More

The main building, the annexes and the casita Estrella (where we stayed 5 nights) are run by solar power, so you have to be responsible in using electrical devices at night (apart from lights). That said, the location is fantastic, as well as your hosts who take care of your stay through sharp suggestions on things to do on the... More

So, we just found this place after turning off the carreterra by the sign and driving for at least a kilometer down a rugged 2-track until we could go no farther. We had no idea what to expect. We showed up and were welcomed by the owner's brother Antonio. He showed us some condo/apartments that impressed us. The prices were... More

In September 2012 we travalled through Yucatan. Coming from Chetumal we checked on Tripadvisor where to go next and we found Casa Aq'ab'al, located directly on the Laguna. We were impressed by all these positive feedbacks (it's hard to add something more) :) Yolanda was great, she picked us up at the bus station and it felt like coming home.... More
