Pelican Inn at Las Dunas Chelem Hotel
I didn’t like that they didn’t accept credit cards and had to either pay in cash or wire transfer which didn’t work for us. Luckily we had enough Mexican pesos to cover payment. Also they showed that our reservation was canceled but they were able to accommodate us.
