The place is great to relax and be in touch with nature all the staff is amazing and they will definitely make your experience unique and you will feel like another member of the family, overall it’s a great place and there are so many things to do in the premises that you will hardly want to leave… if you are up for a drive and want to be in one of the nicest lagoons with not a lot of people around it’s definitely worth it… highly recommend it…

The cabin was well-equipped, even luxurious, with a great view. Esmeralda, our cook and staff person, couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The grounds are peaceful with great bird watching. We kayaked every day and did yoga on the screened in porch. I was so happy we decided to pass by here! It was restorative and relaxing, with great affordable meals. Thank you!

Mi esposa y yo íbamos a celebrar nuestro primer aniversario de esposos. Nos fuimos decepcionados de nuestra experiencia con el Hotel el Chital. Al llegar al hotel no había señalamiento que nos indicará en donde se encontraba la recepción. Esto nos llevo a recorrer el complejo varias veces. Después de caminar varios minutos, identificamos el restaurante donde nos recibió una señora. Las instalaciones se ve que carecen de manutención, más allá de la limpieza regular. Las sabanas de la cama parecían de cartón y el aire acondicionado, el cual se veía viejo poco enfriaba la cabaña. La regadera y el baño funcionaban bien. El lugar sólo tenía dos personas como personal y que carecían de experiencia en materia de hotelería. Quien recibe también cocina porque no hay chef. Esto no se nos comentó al momento de reservar, y a pesar de eso se cobraron los platillos como un platillo de restaurante. Se solicitó un viaje en bote por la laguna que colinda con el hotel, sin embargo nunca se nos informó el costo y al final este tuvo un precio demasiado alto para lo que representaba. El penúltimo día, nuestra idea era quedarnos en el hotel, pero el servicio de energía eléctrica se fue desde las 5am y volvió hasta tarde, por lo que nos vimos forzados a salir del hotel todo el día en busca de comida, ya que no se cuenta con planta de energía o paneles solares. Mi esposa paso un muy mal rato por esta situación, pues no logró dormir bien. En general nuestra estancia fue promedio/regular
