We arrived at Rio Bec Dreams in the dark coming in off the highway having driven from Palenque. We were greeted by Diane who is originally from England with a Mayan heart and a wonderful sense of humour and adventure. She is a world traveller. She is extremely knowledgeable about the entire area and is a wonderful guide, telling us... More

We loved the change of pace this hotel provided, very close to the main road but very quiet in fact we did not even notice the road when we were there. Staff is friendly and very helpful, at first we did not have hot water and they promptly rectified the problem. Loved the bungalows, great ambiance and very clean, lovely... More

Albeit located along the highway to Chetumal and not too close to the Calakmul Reserve entrance, Rio Bec Dreams is a nice place to stay when exploring the southern part of the Yucatan peninsula. We stayed in the "Junglelaw" La Luna which is simple but very comfortable. Food is ok and they can arrange guided tours to the various sites... More

Rio Bec Dreams is a wonderful place to stay, whether visiting the various mayan ruins of the area, or if your just passing through and need a place to nourish up, and rest your head. It is run by a fun Canadian couple, who have a wonderfully cute young American girl keeping bar. The service here is quite good, preparing... More

My husband and I plus another couple stayed here for 3 nights. My hubby was worried we'd not be able to handle the heat at night, since this place doesn't have a/c and the Yucatan is HOT. We were very surprised, it was not hot in the evening at all and we were comfortable in our rooms with no a/c.... More

We had a great time at Rio Bec Dreams. The place was pretty empty when we stayed there, last April, and we got a chance to hang out with Diane, who was great to talk to, and extremely informative when it comes to visiting nearby ruins (she let us borrow her guiding notes for Calakmul, which made our visit great)....

I've been visiting Mayan sites in the Yucatan since the 1980s but this was my first trip to Calakmul. We only stayed one night in Rio Bec Dreams but I'm already planning to return for several nights so we'll have time to visit the ruins we missed on this first trip. RBD is similar to El Panchan at Palenque. While... More

I love this place. I arrived in the evening and walked into a garden paradise, very quiet and inviting, with beautiful plants and perfect layout for outdoor dining. I sat at the fun, mellow open bar and Rick kindly welcomed me. Diane chimed in and they both made me feel so welcome. I stayed 3 nights and visited almost all... More

I spent 4 nights at Rio Bec Dreams (My 4th visit to the place) in February 2012, and again was delighted with the accommodations. I've stayed in their cabanas, but I prefer the Jungalows, which are more rustic. I had 3 nights in La Luna, and 1 in Orchidia, because I decided to stay an extra night and La Luna... More

We stayed for 3 nights at Rio Bec Dreams, & since the cabana we were interested in was available only 1 night, we sampled the Calakmul cabana, which was airy, relaxing, beautiful tiled bathroom, all the hot water one needs. Then we moved into the jungalows, one night in jungalow Orchidia which has bathroom, sink but no bath or showers.... More
