Rarely am I awestruck, but I really did not want to leave here. After a bumpy trip down the pothole filled road, we finally arrived at Cesiak. I deliberately chose to stay here, as I wanted a low-key relaxing time where I could enjoy the marvels of the Caribbean coast. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights. The tent... More

This is not your typical hotel, and for the better. An adventurous spirit (but not much) is helpful if you choose to stay at Cesiak. For one, the road to get there is a little treacherous with many big potholes, but we managed just fine in our compact rental car. (This is a plus because bad road = less people,... More

Even though you stay in a tent, without a bathroom or sink, the view is incredible, the beach pristine, and the employees warm and friendly. Only down side is the road you have to travel to get there. More

Some of the most memorable experiences of our 10 days driving around the Yucatan were spent here, enjoying warm hospitality and terrific food late at night in the middle of a rainstorm, watching the cloud formations zip by from the beach, and drinking margaritas on the 3rd-storey rooftop, which yields a breathtaking 360 view of the earth - nothing but...

I have just returned from an extraordinary trip to Sian Ka'an. I stayed at CESIAK for several weeks with anticipation that I might get antsy at some point and want to go explore other areas. Yet I never left because each day brought new wonders. So to be upfront, CESIAK is not for everyone. It's a great place for people... More

My wife and I rented casa redonda which is adjacent to cesiak. From the people we talked to who stayed in the tent cabins, they said it was very basic but definitely worth the price for people who want to get away from the resorts. The food was super cheap and amazing!!!! We had coffee and breakfast almost every morning.... More

What an amazing place. I wish we stayed more than one night! The platform tents (inside palapas) are comfortable with plenty of room and I loved the "front porch", with the hammock and chairs, looking out over the ocean. It was so special having the sound of the waves lull you to sleep at night. We took the kayak tour... More

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations ever . This is a very special place. I am at a loss for words to describe it. The tents are clean and comfortable and the sheer beauty of the place by far makes up for few creature comforts. The staff of Cesiak are truly an asset to the place making it a... More

The tents inside palapas are along the top of the sand dunes above a beautiful beach. Unfortunately we were there just after Hurricane Rina and were the only people there which colored our stay. Because of rain and wind we were not able to do a tour of the reserve! We were not aware that the tents did not have... More

The Sian Ka'an Bioreserve is the most magical place on the planet. With the moon shining on the expansive blue ocean it doesn't even feel like it is on this planet. The Cesiak is a great organization that is really keeping the bioreserve intact. The people that work here are so knowledgeable and friendly and really have made it there... More
