Uncover Nanciyaga's Secrets: Catemaco's Hidden Eco-Paradise!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the emerald embrace of Uncover Nanciyaga's Secrets: Catemaco's Hidden Eco-Paradise! This isn't just a hotel review; it's a confession, a love letter, and a slightly sweaty rant all rolled into one. Let's get messy, shall we?
First Impressions: The Road Less Traveled (and Probably the One with More Cows)
Getting to Nanciyaga isn't a hop, skip, and a jump. It's a journey. A beautiful, bumpy, "are we there yet?" kind of journey. Accessibility? Well, it's not exactly easy for everyone. The road is… well, let's just say it appreciates a vehicle with some grit. Airport transfer is available, thank the travel gods, and I highly recommend it. Car park [free of charge] is a lifesaver once you're there, and there's even a car power charging station if you're feeling particularly eco-friendly (bless your soul).
The first thing that hits you isn't the hotel; it's the vibe. This place is green. Like, actual, breathing-in-the-jungle green. It's a far cry from a sterile, cookie-cutter resort. This place feels alive.
Rooms: Your Jungle Sanctuary (with a Few Quirks)
Okay, let's talk rooms. The Available in all rooms list is long. Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes (yes!), Coffee/tea maker, Free bottled water (important!), Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Mini bar (crucial!), Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator… the essentials are covered. I'm a sucker for Blackout curtains, and Nanciyaga delivers. Slept like a baby, or at least, like a slightly caffeinated sloth.
My room had a Window that opens, which I loved. Felt like I was practically in the jungle. One night, I swear I heard a monkey having a full-blown existential crisis outside my window. True story.
A few things to note:
- Internet access – LAN is listed, but honestly, the Wi-Fi [free] was perfectly adequate.
- The Shower was awesome, but the water pressure was… let's just say it had a mind of its own. One minute, it's a gentle drizzle; the next, you're getting a full-body power wash. Embrace the chaos!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with a Side of Mosquitoes)
The dining situation at Nanciyaga is… interesting. The Restaurants are plentiful. You've got A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Poolside bar, and Snack bar. They even offer Breakfast in room (for those lazy mornings) and Breakfast takeaway service.
The food is generally good. I mean, we're talking about a place that’s all about the experience and the location, so not everything is a Michelin star. But the International cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant are solid. The Asian cuisine in restaurant had me raising an eyebrow. Not because it was bad, but because, well, I wasn't expecting it in the middle of the Veracruz jungle.
Here's the honest truth: the mosquitoes are relentless. Bring the bug spray. Seriously.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Spa Day, Jungle Hike, and a Whole Lot of "Ooh La La!"
Okay, this is where Nanciyaga truly shines. This place is designed for relaxation and adventure, and I'm here for it.
- Spa/sauna: Yes, please! The Sauna and Steamroom are pure bliss.
- Massage: I treated myself to a massage, and it was… chef's kiss. The therapist was amazing, and the setting, surrounded by jungle sounds, was pure magic.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The Pool with view is stunning. Perfect for a lazy afternoon.
- Fitness center - they have a gym, though I'm not sure how many people use it. I was too busy exploring.
- Body scrub and Body wrap: These are available, but I didn't try them. Maybe next time!
Let's talk about my favorite part: THE JUNGLE HIKES.
I went on a hike that led me to a waterfall, which was amazing. I got soaked. I saw monkeys. I felt like Indiana Jones (minus the fedora, because, you know, mosquitoes).
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind in Paradise (and a Few Extra Sanitizers)
In these crazy times, safety is paramount. Nanciyaga takes it seriously. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Staff trained in safety protocol. They've got Rooms sanitized between stays and offer a Room sanitization opt-out available. They even have Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property.
Services and Conveniences: From Concierge to Souvenirs (and a Little Bit of Chaos)
Nanciyaga offers a ton of Services and conveniences. You've got a Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, and Luggage storage. There's a Gift/souvenir shop for those last-minute presents.
The "Meh" Moments (Because Let's Be Real)
- The Internet can be a little spotty at times. Embrace the digital detox!
- The Food delivery options are limited. Plan accordingly.
- Getting your Invoice provided took a little longer than expected.

Escape to Paradise: ITCC Manhattan Suites Awaits in Kota Kinabalu!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized, brochure-perfect travel itinerary. We're going to Reserva Ecologica Nanciyaga in Catemaco, Mexico, and trust me, it's going to be a trip. More than just the usual itinerary, it's going to be an emotional rollercoaster, punctuated by questionable decisions and the inevitable existential crisis that comes with being a human in a beautiful place.
Day 1: Arrival - Jungle Fever and Questionable Bug Spray
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Veracruz Airport. Okay, first hurdle: the "airport shuttle" is a guy with a beat-up van and a questionable understanding of personal space. He keeps telling me about his ex-wife. Already questioning my life choices.
- Afternoon: The drive to Catemaco. It's supposed to be scenic, but mostly it's just me sweating and worrying about whether I remembered to pack deodorant. The humidity hits you like a wet, warm hug. A really warm hug.
- Late Afternoon: Check into Nanciyaga. The eco-lodge is beautiful, I'll give it that. But the "rustic charm" is definitely more "rustic" than "charming" when you're trying to wrestle with a mosquito net that seems to have a vendetta against you.
- Evening: The welcome dinner. They serve this local dish… mole. It's amazing. I swear, I could live on it. But the bugs! Oh, the bugs! I spent the entire meal swatting at things that were definitely trying to eat me. The eco-friendly bug spray I brought? Utterly useless. Feeling like a buffet.
Day 2: The Lagoon, the Shamans, and the Existential Dread
- Morning: The boat tour of Laguna Catemaco. This is supposed to be the highlight, and it is stunning. The water is like glass, the birds are majestic, and the monkeys on Monkey Island are… well, monkeys. They're kinda terrifying, actually. One stole my banana (which, admittedly, I shouldn't have been holding). That monkey looked me in the eye and judged me.
- Mid-Morning: The shaman experience. Okay, I'm not usually into this woo-woo stuff, but I figured, "When in Rome… or, you know, Catemaco." The shaman was… interesting. He spoke in riddles, burned some incense, and basically told me I need to chill out and embrace the chaos. Which, you know, fair.
- Lunch: Fish tacos. Again, delicious. But the street vendor's dog kept giving me the puppy-dog eyes, and I almost fed him my entire meal. I may or may not have already developed a complex about being perceived as a "bad person" by both monkeys and canines.
- Afternoon: Hiking in the reserve. This is where it got real. The jungle is intense. The sounds, the smells, the sheer greenness of everything… it's overwhelming. I got lost for a solid hour, convinced I was going to be eaten by a jaguar (probably overreacting). I started talking to the trees. They didn't answer. Definitely having an existential crisis.
- Evening: Dinner. I finally figured out how to get the mosquito net working (mostly). The food is great but the jungle's sounds are loud. I can't sleep, the loud noises are scaring me.
Day 3: The Waterfall, the Mud Bath, and the Great Escape
- Morning: The waterfall! It's a glorious, thundering cascade of water, and I feel like I'm in a shampoo commercial. I even managed to get a decent photo. Winning!
- Mid-Morning: The mud bath. Okay, this is the point where I completely surrender to the weirdness. Covering myself in volcanic mud is surprisingly therapeutic. I feel…clean, in a way I haven't felt in days. Maybe the shaman was right. Maybe I do need to embrace the chaos. I'm not sure I’ll ever wash it off.
- Lunch: I got a simple soup at the restaurant. It was good. I’m still covered in mud. I don’t care.
- Afternoon: The "free time" to wander around the Reserve. Okay, I’m not going anywhere. I am going to sit on the porch of my cabin, drink a beer, and watch the sunset. I want to be alone for a while. The sunset is beautiful. And I am at peace.
- Evening: The final dinner. I am not the same person I was a few days ago. I think I like that.
Day 4: Departure - Leaving a Piece of My Heart (and Maybe a Few Mosquito Bites)
- Morning: One last walk through the reserve. I take a deep breath, and try to remember everything, and I actually do.
- Late Morning: The drive back to the airport. The van is still the same. The driver still talks about his ex-wife. But somehow, it doesn't bother me as much.
- Afternoon: Flight home. Thinking about going back.
Final Thoughts:
Nanciyaga wasn't perfect. The bugs were relentless. The humidity was a beast. I had a full-blown existential crisis. But it was also beautiful, transformative, and utterly unforgettable. I learned to embrace the messiness, the weirdness, and the inevitable imperfections of life. And, you know what? I think I'm a better person for it. (Now, if only I could figure out how to get this mud out of my hair…)
