Pros:

The location is perfect, 3 minute walk to the lagoon. The roof top terrace with the pool is lovely! The breakfast is so good, but best of all the staff are incredible!! So welcoming and accommodating, they helped us book a taxi on our last day and provided a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving early.

Super hôtel très bien situé
Pros:

Accueil chaleureux, aide aux activités et proche du centre (10m max à pied)

Cons:

Je dirai juste que les partenariats activités sont assez éloignés du centre, et que le petit déjeuner gagnerait en valeur s’il y avait un peu plus de choix

Pros:

Muy bien ubicado, frente al balneario público más grande de bacalar y a 10 minutos caminando.

El personal fue muy amable y los,desayunos muy ricos.

Cons:

El colchón de la cama no era muy cómodo y la tv es de las que no tienen acceso a Internet.

En un día normal no haría falta la tv, pero desafortunadamente llovió a diario durante mi visita e hizo falta algo en qué entretenerse dentro de la habitación.

Au niveau rapport de tes prix, ça le vaut
Pros:

Très proche de tout ce que nous voulions visiter

Cons:

Le réveil du coq du matin à 5h du matin. Alors c’est chouette ouais mais quand on se couche à 0h01 heure du mat qu’à cinq heures on est déjà réveillé c’est sinon la literie très moyenne très inconfortable hôtel assez vétuste..
