Spacious and Comfortable

I loved my suite at Hotel Rio Lagartos! It was incredibly spacious and equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a stunning view of the lagoon. I enjoyed spending evenings relaxing in my room, taking in the beautiful scenery.

Delicious Dining Experience

The food at the hotel exceeded my expectations. I had an amazing shrimp burger that was excellent! It was also great to relax with drinks on the rooftop terrace while enjoying live music. The combination of good food and ambiance made my stay nice.

Serene Pool Area

I spent good afternoons at the pool area. It was a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun after a long day of exploring. The comfortable loungers by the pool were just what I needed to unwind.

Stunning Rooftop Views

The rooftop terrace is a fantastic feature! I enjoyed watching the sunset from there with panoramic views of the lagoon. It was also a great spot to capture beautiful photos of the small town and nature around me.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were basic with good air-conditioning and comfortable beds, there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. The location was nice with great surroundings, particularly the views and the ease of accessing activities. However, the dining options were quite limited, leaving me feeling like I could have had a better experience overall.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, where the rooms were spacious, clean, and featured a comfortable king bed. The service was overall friendly, but some mornings were noisy due to music from the hall. The location was truly remarkable, right by the water with stunning sunset views. However, dining could use some improvement as breakfast choices were limited, though it was included with the room.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with lovely sea view balconies, which I really enjoyed. However, the service left much to be desired, especially in the mornings when it felt a bit disruptive. The location was wonderful, right next to the water, making it easy to access nearby activities. Dining options were quite limited, which was disappointing for the price I paid.

This hotel has some great aspects, like being right by the water, which I loved for breakfast, and the staff was really nice and helpful. However, the noise from the common area can be overwhelming in the mornings, and cleanliness could be improved in some rooms. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you don't mind a bit of morning hustle.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were impressively spacious with good air conditioning, although mine was right above the kitchen, which made for some noise at times. The location was unbeatable, sitting right by the water with incredible sunset views. Service was excellent, with the staff helping us book a memorable boat trip. However, the dining experience was less than stellar, taking almost an hour for our food to arrive. Overall, it’s a great place, but there are some areas that could use improvement.
