Just perfect
Pros:

We had an amazing two-night stay at Yayum Bacalar and loved every minute of it. The location is perfect, right on the beautiful lagoon, with breathtaking views that never get old.

The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

One of the highlights is the private pier, where you can relax in comfortable hammocks and lounge beds while enjoying the crystal-clear water and peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak up the beauty of Bacalar.

This place truly has everything you could wish for in a relaxing holiday: a fantastic location, stunning views, a tranquil atmosphere, and wonderful hospitality. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Yayum Bacalar to anyone visiting this magical destination

Pros:

Staff is friendly. The grounds are beautiful and right on the lagoon. The dock is amazing. The view of the lagoon from the room is gorgeous.

Cons:

When it rains the grounds and inside of the room become extremely slippery so that could an issue for anyone with limited mobility.

La pire expérience !!!
Pros:

Le ponton sur le lac

Cons:

Tout d’abord ce n’est pas un hôtel : vous arrivez devant une porte en fer dans la rue et il faut appeler. Les rats dans la chambre !! Au prix de la chambre sur piloti c’est inacceptable. On vous propose alors une chambre beaucoup moins cher sans vous rembourser la difference, chambre qui ne ferme pas et on s’est fait voler notre argent pendant une sortie. À fuir d’autant plus qu’au même prix on peut avoir une belle chambre dans un hôtel de luxe

Great staff, a comfortable room with nice views. This was my wife's favorite place we stayed.
Pros:

The location was nice in that it was in a quiet area but still close enough to walk to the square easily. The staff was very nice. Our room had a patio that hung over the lake which was really nice. We watched the sun come up from there. They have a really nice dock with lounge/sun chairs, swings and hammocks that you could swim off of. The property has pet dogs and cats on the grounds. They are all very nice and love attention.

Cons:

The price was high for what you got. Maybe it was because our room sat right on the water. Otherwise I liked everything else about it.

Mooie liggen aan het water maar het hotel slechts maximum twee sterren
Pros:

De ligging

Cons:

Het hotel was eerder twee sterren i.p.v. vijf sterren. We hadden ontbijt besteld maar dit werd door het hotel afgezegd wegens ziekte van het personeel. Er was helemaal geen personeel te zien, geen receptie, geen mogelijkheid voor een snack of drankje. De kamer was groot maar verouderd. De hele accommodatie geeft een verwaarloosde indruk. De ligging is wel top.

מקום מקסים בטבע, לא מלון של חמישה כוכבים.
Pros:

למקום יש מזח פרטי יפייפה עם מיטות וערסלים, החדרים קרובים מאוד למזח ולאגם וניתן לקחת סאם וקיאק בחינם בכל שעות היום. הבקתות מרווחות, המיטות נוחות ומקבלים מים. אווירה רגועה במקום עם המון חתולים חביבים וכלבים נחמדים.

Cons:

אין הרגשה של בית מלון או אירוח, יותר כמו איי בי אנד בי, לא ברור כל כך איפה הכניסה למקום, והצוות לא מיומן באירוח. לא מדברים אנגלית, אף אחד לא עזר לנו עם סחיבת המזוודות בהתחלה, לא קיבלנו מידע על המקום ואין קבלה מסודרת. מבחינת החדרים היינו בשניים, בראשון היה תחזוקה לקויה, ריח רע באמבטיה, ירוקת במקלחת ודלת שלא נסגרת. עברנו לחדר נוסף שם היה יותר טוב. כדי לבקש עזרה מהבעלים היינו צריכים להיכנס לבית הפרטי של בני המשפחה כדי שישימו לב אלינו, כשפנינו אליהם כן קיבלנו עזרה.

Paradise in Bacalar
Pros:

The location and the team, everyone was nice and kind

Cons:

There is no path to drag suitcases to the room, but the floor is made of pebbles. One might think it was a small path.

De ensueño
Pros:

Excelente experiencia con la gran suerte de un clima fantástico. Tranquilidad en un sitio de ensueño con muchas facilidades para disfrutar de La Laguna. El staff siempre dispuesto y muy amable.

Cons:

Necesita algunas mejoras en sus instalaciones y algún detalle en las habitaciones, pero es entendible estando tan cerca de La Laguna.

Lovely spot right on the lagoon
Pros:

Location was amazing . Perfect spot right on the lagoon where you can spend your days swimming, kayaking, bird watching etc. staff was very friendly and housekeeping did a great job tidying up our room every day. The property is a hidden paradise with sweet cats/dogs on site. It was easy to contact staff at all times.

Cons:

1) should not be advertised as an ‘adults only’ property as there were children on the property that were running up and down the dock on several occasions.
2)very strong smell of sewage in the rooms throughout the day. Some days were worse than others.
3)2/6 nights we stayed there were loud parties. One night was the vacation rental beside the property and the other night the party was on the docks. Just something to be aware of.
