Hotel de playa San Julio Celestun Yucatan — Hotel in Celestún

Thank you to Hotel San Julio for a great stay. I stayed two nights at this little hotel and was so pleased with my choice. My room was recently remodeled and one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. They provided plenty of loungers and Palapas for shade on the beach. I enjoyed sitting on the swings in the mornings and evenings. Lucas was so very kind to me and helpful. He explained to me in great detail the logistics of fishing for pulpo which was extremely interesting. I traveled alone on this particular trip and always felt safe in this hotel. I met so many like minded travelers who were getting away from the throngs of people on the coast of Quintana Roo. It is truly an experience I will never forget and I plan on visiting this hotel in Celestun for many...

Don’t listen to all of the reviews saying this place is good. It’s a good location, but that is the only positive feature. Here’s some things wrong with the place:

There’s no parking. You just need to find a spot on the street. There is no water pressure or hot water so showers are terrible. The beds are hard making sleep painful. The beds only have sheets. There are no comforters. There was sand on the furniture. They have cockroaches. The WiFi is really slow and inaccessible from most of the hotel.

They’re asking too much money for what it is. You’re better off just staying in Mérida and driving to Celestún to be there for the day and then return to Mérida because there aren’t many options...

I stayed 4 nights at this hotel. My room was right off the common area, and at first I worried about noise as people would gather there for coffee, internet, etc. However, they were never noisy, and I had the plus of receiving the wifi in my room. A nice mix of friendly tourists from all over the world, easy to meet in the common area or on the beach. Arturo the manager was always helpful. I enjoyed the free loaner bikes every day, and when they had problems, he was very quick to make repairs.||The room was spacious and clean (not so easy with beach sand everywhere), and the fridge and AC were a plus. Not only ON the beach, but only a few blocks from restaurants,...
