My husband and I recently returned from Tlacotalpan. We really enjoyed staying at the Casa de la Luz which is just slightly outside of the center of town. It was very quiet at night and at the same time it was so close to the center of town that going back and forth was easy and, at night, the walk was very well-lit. Rafael was a wonderful host and so helpful if there was anything we needed. Tlacotalpan is definitely off the usual tourist path but that is part of what makes it special.

A Week in Tlacotalpan

After days of traveling in hostel, I was offered a very spacious room with a kitchen, balcony, and private toilet. It felt like heaven. The interior is well decorated and clean. There's a TV where you can wirelessly connect it to your computer and watch movies, videos on a bigger screen. You can use the little cute balcony to smoke, drink, and definitely buy something to cook because the kitchen is decently stuffed with kitchenware. The receptionist, I believe whose name was Juan, was very friendly and helpful. Anyway, I had a terrific time in this beautiful town, in part thanks to this beautiful house

Absolutely loved it!

Casa de la Luz is a very laid-back guesthouse and its new host, Rafael, made me feel extremely welcome. I stayed in the upper-floor suite, which has a lovely screened porch looking into the tropical vegetation filling the small courtyard. It's a short walk into the center of town, but long enough to allow you a glimpse into the non-gentrified parts of this charming river town. Highly recommended for a longer stay!

Lovely Place

This is a true hidden jewel of a guesthouse in Tlacotalpan!  We booked it using booking.com and didn't realize that the reservation was cancelled.  Thankfully that didn't matter because when we showed up there was a room available for us that was even cheaper and still met all of our needs.

The whole place, down to the plant selection in the courtyard, was tastefully decorated.  The room that we stayed in had nice lighting, air conditioning, and a comfortable bed.  There was a shared kitchen that we used to keep our water bottles cold but we didn't stay long enough to need to cook. The property has wifi but during our stay phone and internet service was out on the whole block.

There are two cats that were no bother to us but if you have a strong allergy that might be a factor on your decision to stay at Casa de la Luz.  

The guesthouse is in a residential neighborhood and just a short, safe four blocks away from the action in the zocalo and the river. 

The host, an American expat, was very nice and friendly. In the room he has a lot of local information and maps ready for the guests. He did let us know that he has sold the property to a loca artist who will be continuing the guesthouse.

Charming Guesthouse in Tlacotalpan

We stayed 2 nights.  Three of us in the upstairs apartment which had an inviting enclosed porch. ( The kitchen could have been cleaner. ) One friend stayed in one of the downstairs bedrooms. The center garden is very lush.  Rafael is cordial and made us feel very welcome.  He has wine bottles handy for purchase for a relaxing in the evening.

Interesting place

While this hotel is beautiful and historic, the experience was ruined by a club next door blasting music until 6am. Ear plugs didn’t even work due to the vibrations through the building. The hotel knows of the nuisance, apparently dealing with these types of complaints constantly, and continues to book the hotel rooms closest to the plaza anyway. We requested a refund for the two remaining nights we were supposed to stay there so we could salvage our trip by staying somewhere else and getting sleep, but were told the manager approved only a one night refund. In spite of repeated requests they wouldn’t budge. We received a wire payment for one night more than 30 days later (less a $20 wire fee that we had to pay). 

A terribly disappointing stay made worse by the hotel’s refusal to refund both nights we didn’t stay (we didn’t request a refund for the night we stayed up, tossing and turning, waiting in vain for the music to stop). Figure it out with your neighbor or reinforce your walls.
