This was a perfect spot for me. I started each morning walking the 100 meters to the beach and swam before coming back for the nice continental breakfast that the staff laid out of fresh fruit, juices, coffee, pastires and cereal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I plan to return.

We really liked this place. Great location if you\'re there for the beach (and who isn\'t?), as it has a private path that lets directly onto it. The staff were super friendly and helpful, they locks the gates at 11pm (but give you a key), and the breakfast was tasty and ample. The rooms are a bit primitive, and if you don\'t like ants then be forewarned. This isn\'t a luxury hotel. They\'re cabinas. We found ours charming and adequate. Cheap but tends to attract nice people. Thumbs up!

Popol Vuh does not promise anything they can't keep. The staff is great, the atmosphere is amazing and the place is practically on the beach. No luxury, but well worth the money.. (btw, bring mosquito repellent)

This is an amazing place to stay - I ended up adding 4 nights and didn't want to leave. Staff are friendly, breakfast is good and its literally 50m from the beach! Place is always being cleaned too - would definitely recommend staying here

Location is excellent - has direct access to beach via a small path. Price is good given the area it is in. The breakfast was included and excellent.

Extremely close to shops and the beach, What is there is kept clean and the staff were very nice. Dont expect anything to fancy, but you get what you pay for :)

A cozy place with a magical environment which makes from your stay an everyday delight. Extremely friendly and helpful staff will assist you in all times, giving you the best tips to walk through color full Playa... Staying there is not a consideration, is an imperative MUST... This place is a bargain and worth every single penny... GREAT BREAKFAST BY THE WAY (Still missing those Mexican Mangos they served)

Breakfast is very good. My room does not shield rain. Thank goodness my gear did not get wet. They changed my room.

Really great staff, bring some food for the BBQ and offer the staff a tequila and let the party begin. Its a stone throw from the beach too!
