Exceotional Stay

Our stay at Cristalino Lagon Hotel was a very enjoyable experience. The Hotel Staff was amazing and got what ever we wanted immediately. The resturant was exceptional both in quality and service. The cleanliness in the rooms, the grounds, and property excelled. We were left believing people here really care about their guests.

This is one of the nicest small hotels we haved stayed at. The swimming in the lagoon was spectacular. The pool was refreshing. The food was very good. The staff throughout the whole hotel was excellent. There is a coffee maker in the room BUT they charge for the coffee pods. The only thing I would request is that the coffee is included in the price of the room. If you are looking for the best hotel on Lake Bacalar, look no further.

The rooms were way better than expected — cozy and nice. The A/C didn’t work properly, but overall, it was a good stay. The staff was friendly, though a bit bossy. If I may share some honest feedback, I felt overwhelmed by the number of rules and restrictions. They made us sign documents, followed up repeatedly via WhatsApp… I’m not sure what kind of guests they usually get that would justify this approach, but personally, I’m not used to being bossed around — and I didn’t enjoy that part at all.

La ubicación es perfecta porque está al frente de la laguna en una zona donde es fácil nadar, además te dan paddleboards y kayak. El servicio es excelente porque crean un WhatsApp donde puedes escribirles 24 horas. La comida del restaurante es riquísima. Tienen que probar la hamburguesa smashed y el rissoto. Excelente atención de esperanza. Te llevan la comida y tragos al muelle. Todavía no tiene spa pero tendrá desde fines de octubre así que eso será un plus. Es relajante, no tiene discoteca ni bar con música pero creo que la vibra de Bacalar es así porque buscamos y no encontramos. Además te ayudan a contactar taxis y tours. No tienen tours propios pero nos ayudaron con todo. Volvería de todas maneras.

Our stay at Cristalino Lagoon Front Hotel Restaurant & SPA was absolutely wonderful. The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the lagoon that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Everything was spotless – the rooms, common areas, and pool were all kept immaculately clean, which really added to the comfort of our stay. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. From the warm check-in experience to the attentive service throughout our stay, every interaction was friendly, professional, and genuine. They were always available to answer questions or provide recommendations, and their hospitality made us feel truly cared for. We also loved the on-site restaurant. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and offered a nice variety of dishes alittle overpriced but delicious food and nice presentation. It was a highlight of our stay to enjoy delicious meals while overlooking the lagoon. Overall, Cristalino Lagoon Front Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, beauty, and outstanding service. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return!

Tengan cuidado con este hotel. Terrible experiencia con el trato en este Hotel ya que con engaños nos robaron el dinero pagado por la estancia. Mi error, no haber leído la letra chiquita y llegue con un bebe de 1 año. Tenia reservadas dos habitaciones, en cuanto vieron al bebe, inició el mal trato, cortantes me dijeron que no aceptaban niños y que pidiera mi reembolso a Expedia, me retiraron el agua que me habían dado y me urgieron a irme. Tramite mi reembolso con Expedia y el hotel se negó a hacer la devolución de los 2,331.88 USD que pagué. No me regresaron un solo dólar, se robaron todo mi dinero.
