    Comfortable, rustic wood cabins in the middle of the Mexican jungle and Lacandon communities. The team here is really nice. Nice hiking trails to beautiful waterfalls. It’s a nice place for digital detox and to see a completely different side to Mexico. It’s clean, not super fancy, but comfortable. Great to fall asleep to the noises of the jungle.

    I absolutely loved this place. well managed, very comfortable, beautiful — it was such a treat waking up to birdsong. The surrounding community is very friendly, I enjoyed taking a few runs and walks through town. Highly recommend!

    Very nice eco resort. The cabins are really comfortable. Great bed, pillows, light etc. The shared toilets area kept clean at all times and the service is very friendly. The restaurant offers extremely basic food, enough not to go hungry. There is no wi-fi, which is great to disconnect. If you visit during COVID, don't go to Bonampak. The murals are closed but no one tells you that until you arrive at the site and realise for yourself.

    Truly beautiful location. They couldn’t have made this an easier, more restful, relaxing place to stay. The staff are true hospitality professionals. There are some worthwhile activities available, but there is no pressure to buy - just the offer! The restaurant is very good for the locale and it’s polite to order a day ahead of time for breakfast so they can make sure they have fresh ingredients for what you want and have it all ready for you. Campamento Rio Lacanja makes a perfect base for exploring Bonampak, but we would have been happy staying several days here. The rooms are sparkling clean with perfectly installed nets under the open roofs that allow guests to sleep in cabanas that still feel like the perfect climate without worrying about pests or mosquito nets. This allows for a nice breeze to accompany the perfect warmth and ambient jungle noises. It’s really a perfect cabana design. We rented a cabana without a private bathroom and we found the shared bathrooms to be just fine. They are very clean and there is ample privacy for the showers and toilets. The Lacanja River runs through the carefully maintained property and is nice for a swim. The prices feel like a bargain for the quality of the property and the the skill and warmth of the staff. They may be more expensive than other cabanas in the area, but it is worth every penny for the comfort and the relative exceptional value. This place is #1 in the area for a reason. Finally, I would say that our only regret was not budgeting more time for this place. We had 19 days in Chiapas and I would have happily stayed three nights here while sacrificing two nights elsewhere. This would be a perfect mid-point stop to recharge for folks who are doing the really big Chiapas circuit, especially if you’re driving the 307 all the way around.

    Incredible accommodation that exceeded our expectations. We stayed in different ecolodges around Chiapas and this one stood out to us. Amazing lake view right by where we slept with very attentive staff. Great environment, I wish we could’ve spent more time here.

    I visited here 18 years ago... and the family has only made it better. It has still maintained it's jungle feel, and the cabins are just the right balance of jungle cabin and comfort. Wifi and cellphone coverage is not available, but that was just fine with us. The food offered was good and affordable enough. A few more food options might be nice, but they are trying to keep the food fresh in a rural location where the nearest shopping center is 2.5 hours away. Prices do reflect a tourist location and not mexican prices. You will have to pay a "fee" just to get into the community where the campamento is. But that seems to be common in this part of Chiapas where they are all trying to get more from the tourists.

    The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming.

    A dreamy place in the rainforest. Get a cabin by the river and be lulled by the sights and sounds
