About this property

Welcome to Hotel Salto del Meco - Huasteca Secreta

Hotel Salto del Meco - Huasteca Secreta offers a serene retreat nestled along the El Salto River in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. With a solid rating of 4.4, it stands out as a rustic yet comfortable base for those eager to explore the natural beauty of the Huasteca region. The hotel’s charm lies in its proximity to the breathtaking El Meco Waterfall, just a short 9-minute walk away, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

The accommodations are thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with modern comfort. Guests can enjoy main cabanas equipped with air conditioning, providing a cool haven after a day in the tropical heat. However, connectivity inside the rooms is limited; Wi-Fi reaches only the outdoor areas, and cellular service is scarce, which encourages visitors to unplug and embrace the natural surroundings. The reception's limited card payment options require guests to come prepared with cash, adding a quaint, old-world feel to the experience.

Among the standout amenities, the outdoor pool offers a refreshing spot to relax, while the complimentary kayak rental invites guests to explore the winding waterways of the El Salto River at their own pace. Though access to the kayak requires some patience, the reward is the chance to connect intimately with the river’s lush landscape. The on-site restaurant and bar complement the stay with local flavors and a cozy atmosphere, enhancing the overall hospitality.

The hotel is family-friendly yet not pet-friendly, making it suitable for those traveling with children who seek natural exploration and tranquility. While it lacks an airport shuttle and fitness center, these absences steer guests toward engaging more deeply with the environment and local ecotourism activities, such as visiting the nearby El Salto Waterfall or hiking the trails around the Ecoturístico El Meco center.

Hotel Salto del Meco - Huasteca Secreta is more than a place to stay—it is an invitation to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature’s rhythms. Its rustic atmosphere, coupled with thoughtful amenities and direct access to some of the Huasteca region’s most striking landscapes, crafts an experience that is both grounding and rejuvenating. For travelers seeking authenticity and natural beauty in Mexico, this hotel is truly a hidden gem.

We enjoyed one of the main cabana, you can shut the windows and door shutters and have AC at night. There was some annoying part, the wifi didn't reach inside, you have to be outside for internet (no cell signal). The reception had no internet for card payment, prepare money. The kayak is included, very nice (but took a long time 40min+ for someone to show up). The pool is great, the place itself is really relaxing. It's also very hard to reserve (almost no external tourist) because you have to check their Facebook ads and use WhatsApp. No other way to reach them. Breakfast also included at the restaurant on top. We really liked that location.
