Great place to stay in a really neat little town. There is enough to do here in and around Celestun, The hosts have a bevy of information and the best guides to use to see the flamingos, the giant white pelicans, the mangroves, etc. Or you can do nothing but lie on the beach, swim, read!

Casa de Celeste Vida is one of the most impressive and outstanding locations anyone could visit. Kenn, Karen and Wanda make your stay just as you would like it and the grounds are beautiful.

Sue and I stayed for a week in the apartment at Celeste Vida -- we walked, we cooked, we went to the beach, we saw the most amazing birds, and got to know the generous and friendly hosts.

Casa de Celeste Vida was truly an oasis on the Yucatan peninsula.
