| Recommendations: (I have a problem reflecting actual hotel room prices - they change faster than I can walk between hotels) If you can afford it: Hotel La Finca - around 1400 Pesos - directly on the laguna, a 1/2 mile walk to downtown, the hotel changes its rates frequently. Hotel Playa Cristal - across from the laguna, on the Malecon, has most of the common hotel services and usually prices itself above 1000 pesos double. If you are related to Mother Nature and are here to visit her: Hotel Playa Azul 2 miles north of town on the laguna, Nanciyaga lake shore cabins or Los Amigos accessible only by boat from Sontecomapan. If you are seeing Mexico on a shoestring: Low budget travelers will find two cheap hotels etc. starting at around 10 to 15 bucks per single without parking around the city center. Don´t expect air conditioning or candies on pillows. If you're not too picky - check the hotel pages ! Hotel Koniapan, end of Malecon with easy parking, Hotel Julita (no AC, relatively cheap and good restaurant), Del Brujo with nice views of the laguna. Del Lago often is a good bet in the mid price range. Best bet if you speak German Casa Rosa, 2 room B&B, from 179 pesos double. In San Andrés Tuxtla 3 really cheap hotels are 2 blocks from the plaza. Nice rooms, pool and good parking at the Posada San Martin. In Santiago Tuxtla The Gran Plaza has the best views, the Meson is the nicest, and the Estancia Olmeca is the most homey. |
| The Catemaco area holds more than 40 hotels with more than 700 rooms or hammock spaces, mostly congregated along or near the lake shore but only a few feature rooms with lake views. Center city hotels are noisy, mainly because of church bells, incessant hawking and on weekends, lots of loud music. Displayed hotel tariffs often are wishful thinking. Negotiate! Many hotels have pool areas, La Finca´s pool on the beach is especially nice. Playa Azul has a wonderful garden, the Hotel Juros pool sits on the roof. If you happen to show up during semana santa, (easter week), or some three day weekends, bring a tent, the town fills up. |
| Hotels suitable for handicapped access Del Lago, Koniapan, Playa Cristal, La Finca, Campestre Hotels that accept pets: Playa Azul. Hotels with WIFI internet: La Finca, Catemaco, Koniapan, Del Lago, (the list is growing). |
