The Flamingo Hotel. Many forum posters praise the charm and hospitality of the Mexican family that run the place. No pool or kitchen facilities. Hacienda San Miguel. We haven't been inside this small hotel on the north side of town close to the waterfront but it looks very attractive from the outside and has gotten some raves lately on the internet.
Some rooms have efficiency kitchens at higher prices.
Larger and more impersonal than other choices listed in this category, this place gets our nod for it's huge, well-kept pool and a location that's only a 20 minute hike to the center of downtown. It's on a busy road across from the beach but does have access to a small, man-made beach. Club del Sol. This small, rustic, low-key hotel is right across the road from one of the best snorkeling sites on the island, Dzul Ha. Rooms are quite basic we hear.
