Eco Paraiso Hotel in Northern Yucatan Nurtures Hawksbill Turtles

CELESTUN, Mexico—Every year, the Hawksbill turtles reach the coast of Celestún to lay their eggs. 2010 was not an exception.

About 900 turtles have deposited their eggs in this secluded northern Gulf of Mexico shore.

One of the favorite places is the beach of Hotel Eco Paraíso, where nature guide, Alexander Dzib Chay, has spotted 70 nests of endangered Hawksbill Turtles.

Many arrive two or three times during their lifetime laying about 140 eggs every time.

Of these eggs, only an average of 0.7% of the hatchlings survives, that means, that perhaps only one of these hatchlings might make it to adulthood.

Hotel Eco Paraiso Xixim, which features 24 individual cabanas all with private terraces overlooking expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico, was created within the ecologically sensitive area on the beautiful, 3-mile shell-filled, sandy beach.

The property includes the newly constructed Restaurant Xixim and bar El Santuario plus a fresh water pool overlooking the Gulf. A wellness center includes a juice-therapy feature, massages and a gym.
