Hotels around Catemaco
Hotels in Catemaco accommodate mostly Mexican national travelers and
provide accommodations in multiple budget ranges. Hotel quality ranges
from luxury to abysmal.

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.

All hotels are supposed to display their tariffs.  Weekday stays are often
discounted,
but usually not announced nor on the tariffs. Negotiate!

Center city hotels are noisy, mainly because of church bells, incessant
hawking and on weekends, lots of loud music.

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.

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 - the hotel
changes its rates frequently and is basically a glorified motel.

If you´re related to Mother Nature and are here to visit her:
Hotel Playa Azul,  Nanciyaga lake shore cabins or Los Amigos accessible
only by boat.

If you are seeing Mexico on US $ 25 a day:
Rancho Bahia Escondida hammock space, or La Jungla tent space. Low
budget travelers will find several cheap hotels,
Loud Pasc, Francisco,  
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 just want a quiet clean modern room with a view, a good
bed, hot water, AC, nice restaurant, quiet, pool, etc:
Hotel Playa Cristal - high priced at usually around 1000 pesos double

If you just want the same type room for around 50 bucks:
Good luck.  (but there is a new bed & breakfast for 199 pesos on the city
hotel pages).
Hotel del Lago on the Malecon often charges around 400
pesos in the off season.

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). Los Arcos, Hotel Juros,
Berthangel, Las Brisas,
Los Brujos with nice views, etc.

Catemaco desperately needs a mid size national chain hotel to run some
promotions, a "charming " bed & breakfast that won´t break your pocket
book, an inexpensive hostel to safely house the frequent young
backpackers, and a fancy romantic hide-away on one of the hill sides
surrounding Laguna Catemaco.
