Fantastic as always!
My wife and I have been coming to Sandra and Peter’s Kastillito Kin Nah for the last six years…and it hasn’t changed a bit! Clean, comfortable rooms, great pool area and the amazing beach full of seashells is only steps away. Great views from the room and great hosts! Peter, Sandra, we will be seeing you again my friends!

Castellito Kin Nah and Ángel's Canoe Tour
I travelled to Celestun purely to visit the mangroves, also known as los manglares in Spanish, by canoe.
The canoe trip was arranged by Sandra at the Castellito Kin Nah, a small, very well kept hotel that deserves every one of it's 5 stars. The room was immaculate and really well presented. I suspect that some OCD may even be involved ;-)
Sandra contacted Ángel for me and by sheer luck, he was free to take me the next morning at 7.30am. His canoe trip through the mangroves was unforgettable, the sound of the water lapping against the canoe, birdsong, fishes jumping from the water, baby crocodiles, sunlight shining through the mangrove leaves to dapple the water with exquisite patterns, the list goes on.
Ángel and his friends have worked hard to try to restore the mangroves that have been destroyed in the past. Please, if you fancy really experiencing nature in an eco friendly manner, avoid using the motor boats which damage the mangroves due to their wake and churn up the waters for the old fashioned shrimp catchers. Instead really treat yourself to a sensual delight and take a canoe trip with Ángel or one of the other canoe guides.
I must say, however, that Ángel was an absolute star and treated me to the perfect balance of talking and silence. He had an expert knowledge of the wildlife and seemed to have the keen eye of a true lover of nature. I saw owls, eagles, kingfishers, herons, ibis, puffer fish, gold spiders (not poisonous!), humming birds, flamingoes and crocodiles (smaller than my foot and no, I don't have feet 2m long! Their mum, who is about 2m, sleeps in the day, so you'll be safe). Just the canoe trip was worth the 300 mile drive across the Yucatan peninsula...

Serenity, amidst the quaint fishing village life
Castillito is a beautiful property just 1 km out of the fishing village, and close enough to walk or bike into the main shops. The hotel ( which is not really a hotel but has five guest units above the main casa) provides bicycles to take any time you need so i didnt find this a problem personally.
I was greeted by Peter the German ex-patriot host who owns the place with his Mexican wife, and both were very helpful and welcoming.
The rooms are comfortable, and have the most amazing view over the beach, which is right on the doorstep. The beach is clean, and the pool and gardens inside the house /garden area are well maintained and clean also.
I think this is more of a stay for people without children, as people come here for the serenity partly, and the beauty, and i certainly was not disappointed. but as for facilities for kids, not so much.
The only negative thing i would say is that i didn't appreciate the two little dogs barking early in the mornings, that really got on my nerves a bit. Although they are sweet little dogs when not barking loudly! Also beware, there is no facility to heat or cook, but food is pleasant stroll up the beach or a bike ride away up the road. You can also catch a little motorbike 'taxi' back once you have eaten.
The rooms come with free wifi but bear in mind the wifi here is a little unpredictable and is best early morning, not so great afternoons onwards.
The rooms were well looked after, clean, and the lovely Mexican cleaning lady very thorough and friendly.
I do agree that for the price it is a little expensive seeing as there is no cooking facility, but for me, the tranquility and beauty of the place made it value for money in its own way. Thank you Peter and Sandra!

Ideal location, very thoughtful owners.
We just returned from a visit to Celestun and our stay at the Castillo Kin-Nah was delightful. It's just far enough away from town to be quiet and quite secluded but still close enough to walk down the beach to the restaurants. The 'castillo' is very well thought out with balcony views to the ocean and terrace views inland. The pool is great and surprising deep. Access to the ocean is via a yard with beach furniture, hammocks and small palapas for shade. Each unit's entry door has a screened portal allowing cross-ventilation through patio doors beyond. A/C is provided but we didn't need it. Suggest buying things for breakfast at the abarote while in town. Moto-taxis are fine for returning if you've walked to town. The ocean is usually calm and very shallow for quite a distance out. Highly recommend early morning Flamingo tour from the terminal including a dip in the Ojo de Agua. Have fun!

Nice rooms and pool, not so great communication
Room comfortable with nice balcony and views of water and down to pool. Nice bed linens and decor. Pool area is lovely, but area leading to beach was not inviting - not cleaned up - lots of fallen palm branches, untidy. Didn't find owners to be very friendly. Fridge didn't keep things cool.
Excellent location
