Celestun - Small Fishing Village - Western Yucatan

One of the last of the get away from it all small fishing villages on the Gulf coast is Celestun. About 6,000 people live in this authentic little town, a 3 hour drive west of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and light years back in time from Cancun.

Moved to the Hotel Mary Carmen. I'll be on the 3rd floor and the rent goes from $12 a night to $20 US, per English speaking Suehay. Not a bad view from this old beach front hotel.

My first hotel that I moved from, the Hostel Ria Celestun. Rooms here from $5 dorm to $25 for private room/bath in high season. I moved because the front door jammed and no locksmith available for a week. Manager Suehay moved me to Maria Del Carmen.

My new room. In February it is way too cold at night for A/C. About 68 actually but the sea breeze made it cold enough for a blanket.
