Sehr schöner Aufenthalt in Bacalar
Pros:

Das war eines der schönsten Zimmer, die wir auf unserem Rundtrip hatten. Es gab alles von Peelingseife, Conditioner über Hauschuhe. Es gab am Balkon zudem eine nette Chill-Area mit Hängematte. Wirklich eine sehr sehr schöne Anlage. Und die Dusche sowie das riesige Bett waren wirklich herrlich! Auch das Hotelteam war sehr lieb. Unser Kellner Riccardo war sehr zuvorkommend! Und man kann sich vor Ort Kayaks oder SUPs ausborgen. Das hat uns auch sehr gut gefallen.

Cons:

Die Kissen sind sehr hoch und die Deckenbezüge sind oben nicht verschlossen, was ich etwas eklig finde, wenn man bedenkt, dass die Decken nicht nach jedem Gast durchgewaschen werden.
Es gab zu wenige Liegen oder allgemein Plätze am Deck und am Pool für all die Gäste. Zudem ist das Nachbarhotel leider extrem laut (sowohl tagsüber als auch abends), was uns sehr genervt hat, weil man nicht wirklich seine Ruhe hatte (was an sich der Sinn eines Entspannung-Urlaubs ist).

Incredibly dissapointing. Stay somewhere else as there are much nicer places
Pros:

The bar and restaurant staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating

Cons:

Really poor stay.
The receptionist staff were incredibly rude and unwelcoming. We asked for a kettle to warm up our baby’s milk and we were told that wouldn’t be possible.
We arranged a tour of the lagoon and they tried to charge us 1000 mxn to be picked up from the pier. Apparently it is to encourage you to use the tour operator that they work with - obviously a very shady practice designed to rip you off.
The rooms are small and dingy.
They were carrying out repair work to the jetty (with no prior warning) for the entirety of our stay so you couldn’t enjoy sunrise or sunset. It was noisy all day with the work. When we raised it with the hotel they said it should be done the following day but it still wasn’t finished when we left 3 days letter. They were not apologetic.
As others have said the breakfast is very stingy - you get small portions, no juice and it isn’t very good. Other than the jam which is delicious and homemade.
The jetty out (when you can use it) does not have very good views of the lagoon.

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Carolina Bacalar. The staff was very friendly, forthcoming, helpful and even went the extra mile to assist. For example, when you decide to book a tour just one hour before it starts, they make it happen. :)
Kayaks and SUPs were always available to explore the Cenote Negro close by.
Service at the bar and sunbeds is great as well.
Highly recommended!

Cons:

The only thing I can think of is that the guy from the neighboring property really enjoys using his leaf blower every morning. Of course it’s not at all the hotel's fault and didn’t really bother us much, but maybe it's worth mentioning.
