Exploring Catemaco and the Reserva Ecologica

We met with a friend to spend time in Catemaco. The rooms were clean and spacious, with AC but with no view whatsoever as the window is a slit at the top of the wall. The hotel was a reasonable walk from the main square which was good as we could work up an appetite for breakfast, lunch and dinner and just across the road from the lake, although you could use the hotel restaurant. There's a small pool which was lovely to relax by, but could be noisy if children were using it.
There was a nice place for breakfast beyond the cathedral and a nice place for dinner overlooking the cathedral.
With friends staying at Hotel La Finca, we took a boat excursion from there to Reserva Ecologica across the lake. It was extremely good value - we saw spider monkeys, heard howler monkeys, heard and saw exotic birds, plants, crocodiles and turtles. Make sure you take bug spray and cover up! We were attacked and stung badly by a swarm of bees which I understand was not a regular event but brought an abrupt end to the tour.
There's lots of stalls along the lakeside and the trees above are full of nesting egrets, vultures and other birds. Take care as the smell is awful on a hot day and there's lots of poop! Park under the trees at your own risk. It's fascinating!

Staff on reception and in the restaurant were very helpful and friendly. They organised a tour for us which was very good value. The food in the restaurant, both breakfast and dinner, was delicious and good value.

Adequate Stay in Catemaco

Needed a couple nights in a hotel in Catemaco so decided to give this one a try. I’d say a 3 star hotel, nothing fancy but adequate for sleeping. AC worked just fine. Staff was friendly. Everything was clean. Had good hot water in the shower. Nice pool area that we tried and was very relaxing. Restaurant had good food and service. Overall a decent experience! Would return again and recommend to others.
