My most favorite place ever!
Pros:

The property is so beautiful and comfortable! The staff is amazing! Renata was above and beyond helpful! We absolutely loved her! We visited many other hotels and nothing compares to how amazing this one is! It is cozy and cute. Good drinks and food. You can walk to town but since it is hot it might be a little far. We rented a car - it was so perfect having a car to explore everywhere. We can’t wait to come back ;)

Cons:

Nothing! It was perfect!

Beautiful stay in Bacalar
Pros:

Beautiful hotel and bedroom, hammock in the terrace, friendly staff who were helpful and provided many recommendations for what to do in the area, kayaks and SUPs available for free to explore the lagoon. There is a small pool, the restaurant service is available at all times and the view is beautiful from the hotel dock. 15 minute walk to downtown Bacalar.

Cons:

The water pressure in the shower could be stronger, the little soap bars and cosmetic products could be of slightly higher quality. There are a few Wifi networks available, one worked very well but the main one provided through QR code did not.

Pros:

El diseño, el malecón con las tumbonas y la facilidad del alojamiento para disfrutar de las instalaciones incluso el día que te vas

La zona de las tumbonas en el malecón es tan agradable que debería ser más grande

Great location, and helpful staff
Pros:

Fantastic location at the lagoon. Really friendly people at the reception, who helped us with various hiccups. Rooms were really tidy, comfortable. Breakfast is a bit too expensive for what you get. Then rather go into town to find something.

Un très bon compromis à Bacalar, proximité immédiate de la lagune.
Pros:

Proximité immédiate avec la lagune, ponton de l’hôtel, paddle et kayaks prêtés par l’hôtel. Très beau cadre pour le petit déjeuner à proximité de la
Lagune .

Cons:

On entendait un peu la musique de l’hôtel d’à côté fin d’après-midi. Cuisine du restaurant correcte mais pour le même prix le restaurant la Playita de Bacalar nous a semblé bien meilleur.

I think there are better places to stay for the money. Don’t pay for a lagoon view upgrade!
Pros:

Lagoon front location. Staff reasonably pleasant but not overly helpful.

Cons:

Noisy bar next door and no windows meant waking up at 5am and noisy exercise classes in the evenings. I think there are better places to stay for the money

Wonderful staff, needs more lounge space by the lagoon.
Pros:

The staff here are wonderful, they truly went above and beyond for us! We felt like valued guests and well cared for. Our room was cool and comfortable and we especially loved the balcony with hammock. Housekeeping did a thoughtful and thorough job each day. Donna the duck was a fun pal.

Cons:

The dock area is almost there. the furniture is comfortable, there just isn't enough space. Most of the time when we went to enjoy the dock and lagoon, all the chairs were taken. We were not aware when we booked that this was such a family friendly location and there were far more children than we would have liked for our relaxing vacation, good to know in advance! It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room.

Heel fijn en comfortabel!
Pros:

Luiz en Ricardo waren hele fijne lieve behulpzame medewerkers! We vonden de service heel fijn, het hotel is klein maar super lekkere kamers en direct aan het meer!

Cons:

Wellicht is het ietsje te ver lopen om elke avond naar het stadje te gaan voor de restaurantjes, maar de taxi prijzen zijn echt super redelijk en de receptie belt ze voor je als je dat wilt. Ongeveer 60 pesos.
