Cabañas Xahuayxol | Informal Campsite

February 20th, 2024 by [email protected]

There are a lot of sand flies that make it unbearable here. It costs 150 pesos per person and another 100 pesos for the Chiuahuah dog, definitely too expensive. The sanitary facilities at the back can no longer be used, but there are toilets and outdoor showers by the restaurant. Signs at the entrance also indicate that food and drink are prohibited. I think campers are now unwelcome. However, the reef is beautiful and can be reached by swimming.

Really nice spot in paradise! The host gave us some coconuts one day, we went for a kayak ride and hanging out in the ocean was just perfect. Toilets and showers are clean and the internet works fine from where you park your van. The only downside are indeed the damn sandflies that made us leave one day earlier than expected.

There are many low hanging benches on the way - so the place is that suitable for a big RV (ours is 4.12 m, and had to cut some branches down). The scenario from the camping site to the beach is fantastic and Carlos is a really nice manager. BUT there was so many sandflies☹️ that could go through our RVs moskito net and also a extra moskito net that we hang up inside the RV. For us it was a total nightmare. All together we registered 900 bits on 5 persons. I would call before arriving to hear of who many sandflies there are. It seems like the situation is the same on the other beaches/camp sites nearby.

a nice campground, we stayed there for 3 nights with our camper and payed 100 per Person per night. The water is great for swimming and snorkeling. We loved it because it was super quiet at night.

As described before. Beach before campsite no trash. To the left and right of it there is a lot. We won't come back, campground ok, but next to it it's very dirty, sorry!

Actually we went to the wrong place the first night. At the end of the road a big sign se vende. Arturo the owner explained we could camp at the beach for 150 peso p.night. We put the truckcamper on a beautiful spot and discovered while walking along a beach full of trash the real camping. Had a talk with the great owner Jimmy and decided to move there the other day. because of Wifi, free kayaks and very clean beach. Pay 100peso p.p

It is a beautiful space, they ask 150pesos for camping over NYE. However we had a rather weird experience.
Got there had to search for the owner. First cabins weren't available because dirty and he had no clean sheets to provide. We agreed to camp if we could use one of the cabins bathrooms.
2 min later he comes back, says that he actually will have a big group coming in, so we can't use the cabins bathroom.. .. Hmm wonder how without sheets.
No, I think he couldn't be bothered neither could we and left. Stayed at the end of the road at Toby's.

As described, very chill place with a lovely owner. The owner has several dogs who are all very sweet and cared for. They don’t bark at night or cause a nuisance, but mentioning it in case anyone doesn’t like dogs. They were welcome at our site and spent plenty of time hanging out.

There is also wifi available, we only used it for messaging but it seemed reasonable. We were also able to use a cabana for cold showers and toilet. Not sure if this would be available when busier, but we are the only ones here.

Windy on our first day, but it stopped overnight and brought sand flies. Beware. They weren’t too bad during the day.

Now $120pp/pn which is on the pricy side, but the chill vibe and lack of trash made it worth it for us.

Beautiful spot! I loved it here. The only warning is the drive in. I took the cut across to reach the coast road a bit south of here. Heading north the last little bit, my 9-ft high rig was hitting some branches. If you’re much taller, you could be driving through a few trees. I don’t know about the beach road from the north. Paid 100 pesos for one person

Great Costa Maya campsite with space for small to large rigs and many cabanas for rent between Mahahual and Xcalak. Easy going management bring great vibe to the place. $100p/p for camping or just a bit more for a basic cabana. Beautiful beach front, several kayaks free to use when staying here. Good snorkeling right in front of the property. Several reefs, plenty of coral and fish. Fisherman around the property happy to advise about fishing. Nice hospitable owners. Communal kitchen, breakfast available. No electricity. Very limited 3G signal. Camping toilets and showers were not ideal so we were allowed to have a cabana bathroom to use. We came to check it out and ended up staying 3 nights here.
