We found all this and more at Balamku and the surrounding area. Alan, the owner, greeted us when we arrived and for the 5 days we were here was... More

It's a pretty little inn really calm. The place it's very exotic and the owners work very hard to keep it clean and nice. We loved the landscape, especially a palm tree leaning over the sea.

I stayed at Balamku for four nights in March 2012 as part of a small group with Island Expeditions. The rooms were A+ -- beautifully but simply decorated, airy, comfortable. Carol, who owns the place with her husband Alan, clearly loves what she is doing. I would definitely go back.

Stayed here in November 2011 for eight wonderful days. It was absolutely perfect. My wife and I were looking for a place to kick back and relax for a few days and we found it. We like to travel with a loose itinerary and basically walked in the door. This type of traveling generally works quite well for us and... More

My wife and I stayed at Balamku for a week in May 2011. The stay was wonderful on all ways: Maya ruins near at hand; beautiful coral reef; great service; first-class food; and engaging, friendly owner. We had easy access to a huge variety of interesting activities and locations.
