Xcalak Caribe Lodge

the staff people took us care very well and show us the way to be around the small town. thank you

Not many choices in Xcalak but Antonia and Maria made us feel at home. Breakfast is included in the price and very good and affordable dinners each night on the upper deck were so special after a full day of scuba diving. It was perfect for us.

If you are looking for luxury hotels and lots of people and atmosphere, this is NOT definitively your place. But if you are in the mood for relax, exploring, adventure, enjoying rich food at reasonable prices and having a vacation off the beaten track, you will surely enjoy Xkalak Caribe Lodge. Rooms are basic but more than enough and Antonio is a superb cook who will improvise different dishes everyday. Diving and fishing are also avilable options here.

So Antonio is a nice host and a very good cook. The breakfast is excellent and varied and his optional lunch or dinner really superb. However, the rooms are the most uncomfortable and poorly designed I've ever stayed it. The non Aircon room are right on the beach road. There is a large door and two large tinted pieces of glass. There are no windows that open. All you get is a 10cm wide ***** of vent down one side. But as there are no other windows the air cannot come and and circulate. So the room as no air and is unbelievably stuffy and hot, all the time, even in January. You cannot open the door at night as you are on the street. So you lie under a noisy wall fan and sweat. Utterly awful. And the mosquitoes in this town are insane, there is a swamp behind and once the sun begins to set you are attacked endlessly, you have to cover your skin head to foot. They even bite your face. I am covered in bites all over. There is no useable beach in Xcalak either, it is covered in sargaso **** and smells. There is only one restaurant to eat in as well, with a menu with no prices. And it's very expensive here, the lodge is way too expensive, the restaurants are expensive, and for what? There is nothing here but bad beaches, mosquitoes, and dead coral in the sea. The diving here is terrible too. The whole place is completely depressing. Just avoid it completely.

Es muy caro para lo que ofrecen no sé porque ??? ??? Y por mucho menos en otras playas paradisíacas tienes lo mejor de primera y bien lo único es que es bonito el lugar flora fauna la naturaleza y el mar el arrecife al fin es caribe pero si es gente amable pero repito super carísimo y mucha gente opinaría que no vale la pena por qué el caribe es muy amplio y tiene lugares espectaculares en infraestructura y más y lo digo por qué la infraestructura es muy pobre y las instalaciones de casi todos los hoteles de esta pequeña península desde el norte asta la punta que es de Belice no son hoteles ni de 3 estrellas algunos igual carísimos ni de una y digo carísimos por qué no lo valen por qué lo bueno cuesta y no duele pagarlo pero la verdad esto no lo vale sinceramente y el paraíso pues es muy bonito la naturaleza eso si
