Xcalak Caribe Lodge

So Antonio is a nice host and a very good cook. The breakfast is excellent and varied and his optional lunch or dinner really superb. However, the rooms are the most uncomfortable and poorly designed I've ever stayed it. The non Aircon room are right on the beach road. There is a large door and two large tinted pieces of glass. There are no windows that open. All you get is a 10cm wide ***** of vent down one side. But as there are no other windows the air cannot come and and circulate. So the room as no air and is unbelievably stuffy and hot, all the time, even in January. You cannot open the door at night as you are on the street. So you lie under a noisy wall fan and sweat. Utterly awful. And the mosquitoes in this town are insane, there is a swamp behind and once the sun begins to set you are attacked endlessly, you have to cover your skin head to foot. They even bite your face. I am covered in bites all over. There is no useable beach in Xcalak either, it is covered in sargaso **** and smells. There is only one restaurant to eat in as well, with a menu with no prices. And it's very expensive here, the lodge is way too expensive, the restaurants are expensive, and for what? There is nothing here but bad beaches, mosquitoes, and dead coral in the sea. The diving here is terrible too. The whole place is completely depressing. Just avoid it completely.
