Consciousness, love for intact nature, rediscovering yourself, high quality and the simplicity of our services are the secrets that we generously share in our paradise…Hotel XIXIM is an ecological paradise.

At present, we have 32 thatched cabanas, 24 junior suites with 2 four-poster double beds and 8 master suites with a king size bed, each with its own private verandah and en-suite bathroom. An extremely large thatched, double-story rondavel with sweeping views of the beach, golden sunsets and our pool area. Upstairs one will find El Santuario, our fully stocked bar and lounge area, and downstairs, our pride and joy, Restaurant Xixim. The buildings dramatic thatched roof with the longest, straightest tree trunk supports, graphically canopy your occasion.Our Wellness Center as a set of architectural human and natural elements: palapas and mangroves, buildings and coastal dunes, windows overlooking the emerald-green sea, open spaces yet of intimate dimensions, each and every one of them integrated to the pristine nature. ... more less

“Unique hotel for escapists”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

The Xixim is located about 10km from Celestun along its own white sandy, shell-strewn beach. We were there in early February when there were very few guests and the place couldn't have been more different from the Caribbean ie Cancun coast. The hotel is unique for me because it is so unusual in the world to find a hotel of... More

“Peaceful and magical”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

We spent 3 nights in this beautiful magical place, There were only a few other guests and the peace was complete.

There were one or two people on the miles of beach, no-one in the swimming pools (ok, one person, once!)... More

“Strange Place”

Like others we wanted to see the flamingos and bird life - which were amazing. This hotel seemed to be one of the only options from afar. As many have said, it is 10kms to the north of Celestun along an unmade road so it takes a while to get there and makes unnecessary journeys a bit of a pain... More
