Great view! Yuum Ha Hotel location was very nice and right across from the malecon. The pool was better than expected and great for cooling off in. The staff were very friendly and especially Bernaby (Barnaby) and Julie. We loved walking to Sendero Peten Mac and making use of a mototaxista Juan who we used for an excursion to San Felipe and Las Coloradas and playa Cancunito. Juan has a mototaxi that has good shade and he was friendly and pointed out crocodiles in mangroves at the side of the road. It was only 20 minutes by mototaxi to San Felipe and 40 minutes to Las Coloradas. You can contact Juan through the hotel’s front desk staff. The posted hotel rules regarding no outside beverages or food even in rooms, seemed very unreasonable and so we ignored the rule. We did also eat and drink in the hotel restaurant area.

Yuum Ha Hotel Stay & Mototaxi Excursions!

We spent a week here and it was fabulous.  Great food and the exceptional staff gives personalized service. Location is on water. Watch the fishermen or at dusk locals shrimping. Quiet small quaint one of our best locations we have stayed in Mexico 

Riverfront hotel

Outstanding boutique hotel on the water. Phenomenal food breakfast lunch and dinner. Clean rooms. Great Wi-Fi and extremely well run. Highly recommend. Jo and all of the staff made the experience memorable and delightful. We were traveling to fish the area (excellent fishing and guides with Tarpon Cay Lodge) and the stay made the trip.

Jewel of Rio Lagartos

We were beyond delighted with our stay! Worth the drive to this slice of heaven. They waited for our check-in and kept the restaurant open thank goodness because the food was unbelievable! Have the grilled octopus it’s to die for. Room was as advertised, great view and comfortable enough with WiFi, too. All you had to do was walk across the street to grab a boat to go tour the Rio Lagartos. We saw the famed flamingos, pinks lakes, did a traditional Mayan mud bath right off the boat (absolute highlight) and then rinsed off at our own private beach! Unreal experience worth every pesos and was affordable. We sealed our trip with lunch at the hotel that they graciously served us in a gazebo right on the water! Perfection, charm and the authentic Yucatan. Staff was so friendly and spoke excellent English!! Can’t wait to return. Thank you again Yumm Ha! 

Exceeded our every expectation! 

This hotel has a great location in Rio Lagartos. It is literally located in front of the place where you get the tours to the pink lakes and to see the birds and crocodiles. It is within a 5 min walk from a couple of great restaurants with amazing seafood and ceviche. Additionally the staff was very nice and friendly and the room was good as well.

Nice Hotel in Rio Lagartos

Nice hotel at the harbour of Rio Lagartos. 
Very clean, nice staff. But you should speak some spanish- not only for the hotel.  Most people in RL dont speak any english! 😁 highly recommended! We would stay there again! 

Great little Hotel 

I stayed here for one night at the beginning of July when I was visiting to photograph flamingos. Let me address the best part of my stay - it was without a doubt the staff. They were all so sweet and accommodating. I told the guy working the front desk overnight that I was going to have to leave around 4:30 am to make my photography time. He had the driveway gate open and waiting for me to leave and asked when I was going to return. And when I returned at the time I was supposed to be checking out soaking wet from a rainstorm, the lady working the front desk was very sweet and told me to take my time. 

Now to the hotel itself. I was initially in a room on what is considered the first floor there. It had a connecting door to another room. The walls and door were so thin that you could hear everything happening next door. A family of four checked in next door and they were quite loud. So then they moved me to a room on the top floor on the corner. That did not have the problem of thin walls. However, I could hear people outside along the street/malecón all night long (I had the Windows closed and the AC on and it did not help). 

It seems like the hotel may have been pretty nice at one point but that people have slacked off on upkeeping it (but the rooms were clean). For example, the fixtures in both rooms need updating. They were corroding. There was no top sheet on the bed (just a light blanket). The second room only had one lamp not one on each side. The AC didn’t work that well. It was on 16 and felt more like 23 in the room. There were no decorations whatsoever in either of the rooms. There were no mats on the floor when you get out of bed. And the shower only had cold water. If I were to return to Rio Lagartos I would not stay here if I could help it. 


Nice Staff & Clean but Extremely Noisy & Needs Updating

Its not cheap for what it offers but the staff do their best to meet your needs. The hotel is putting a restaurant together which is great because the continental breakfast was completely off the mark. The air conditioning did not work well in the suite. Views are great and rooms are good size. I recommended it, just check the AC

Simple but good.

nothing wrong with this place particularly. looks nice from the outside - stands out from the immediate buildings around it and is clearly new. It was clean and positioned eight by the sea. staff were ok, not rude by any means but not particularly friendly either. they offered no advice on where to go to eat and drink and felt if we didnt ask questions  they would not speak to us at all. we were upsold a flamingos trip on our arrival late in the day which was quite expensive, and there seemed little more to do in this sleepy place. however, time was against us as the sun was going down and we were leaving the next day, so despite best efforts the tour was rushed to be completed before darkness (the guide we had was excellent however).

The staff seemed resistant to do us breakfast in the morning until we specifically asked for it, even though we seemed to be the only guests in the place. 

this is not what I would call a boutique hotel however, and really it was expensive for what it was. after exploring the small town we discovered a larger newer hotel which seemed of a similar calibre. although half the price.

Their claim to have discovered a new concept where nature meets luxury was quite wide of the mark. 

nothing wrong with the place as I say but nothing special, and really you would be better off saving your money and using other options in the town. 


very average

The hotel by itself is very clean and a decent place to stay for a 3 star. 
But my issue is with the location. As you can see from the pictures, its located directly opposite a sort of a harbor where most boat tours take off. It is also a "hangout" place for the localities. All rooms face the harbor and the water, the noise, laughter and crackers went on till the wee hours ~3 am. We did not sleep a wink the entire night. We turned on the AC to drown the noises but that did not help either. I'm not sure if it is only on the weekends or if it is noisy on the weekdays as well. I would suggest picking a hotel on the far end of the road to get away from the noise.
