Just as others have pointed out Retiro is not without inconveniences, but if you know what to expect ahead of time then you should enjoy your stay. Staying here is kind of like camping. You are pretty much outdoors and should expect as much. I would recommend bringing flashlights as the room lights are dim at best. The bathroom is... More

Retiro Maya has a nice spot on the beach and a friendly manager. Our cabana (the closest to the water) had a beautiful view and a nice little porch with lounge chairs and a hammock. Wi-Fi worked intermittently. However, some details made our stay a little uncomfortable. I was grossed out by the fact that the sheets had old bloodstains... More

I've stayed at Retiro 2 times in the past 10 months, most recently in February for 5 nights. This place has some funk and soul and charm that is quite endearing and unique, and also not without some inconveniences. If you are a self sufficient person who doesn't need to be pampered; have sunshine blown up yer jacksie, or be... More

We had 5 magical nights in a Beachfront Cabana (8 I think) at the Retiro Maya at the beginning of March. Anyone reading this review will like us be concerned about the negative reviews that are mixed in with the strongly positive ones, but it all comes down to a choice: if you want an immaculate chain hotel, don't come...

Retiro Maya is awesome, the people are respectful, genuine and kind. The rooms are comfortable and really natural. If you want to be in touch with nature, this is it!!! More

Sewage backed up through our shower. There were cockroaches. The location and the view is amazing but the rooms/shower/toilet situation was disgusting. We told the front desk and asked for money back but did not receive anything back or even a response to the request. We stayed there over Christmas/New Year's Eve. They were charging $300/night fully paid in advance.... More

This beach cabana set us back a hefty $143 US for a night, and in all fairness we were given a refund of most of this the following day. The room was equipped with 2 fans, which were attached to the ceiling and which had to be manually switched on every 4 hour during the night when electricity is available.... More

The good: Great location in a beautiful beach. The hotel is ok, nice big beds. The not so good: We only had electricity from 5pm to 11pm (they did tell us that was the hotel policy though). We didn't have any hot water during our stay. Continental breakfast, very simple, far from spectacular. We found it a little bit pricey... More

We got three cabanas, two with sea view and one sea front location. Nice facilities meeting all needs but do not expect like a first class hotel. Part of nature, and two steps from the wonderfull beach. Service very friendly. Basically a good deal. More
