Very beautiful property. I loved that it was peaceful and that the lagoon was easily accessible. Breakfast was delicious. The only thing, is I wish their were more dinner options but other than that, it was a delightful stay.

Absolutely amazing!

A really great stay - the location, the rooms, the food, everything was perfect, why we spent the majority of our time in Bacalar at the hotel. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Because of a double booking, the hotel had to change our dates a month before arrival, but we were offered complimentary massages and a bottle of sparkling wine for the inconvenience. I would recommend everyone to go here - we could have easily stayed more than the 3 nights we had booked!

Lovely but overpriced

Absolutely stunning resort next to a crystal clear lagoon! Only criticisms would be the cost of food and drinks plus the fact 16% service is added to absolutely everything. The resort is so isolated you’ll be eating and drinking there so expect to spend several hundred US dollars a day which is a bit steep considering it’s mainland Mexico.

Lovely, Serene Lagoon Location

It was very calming to be on the lagoon. The rooms were very nice, although there were no drawers to put clothes in, only a shelf under the sink and one under a small area where you could hang clothes. There are no tv's, which was ok with me! The outdoor shower is wonderful as you look up at the beautiful trees and sky, nature at its finest! The wooden deck pathways to the rooms and the deck by the lagoon are nice. However, if you have trouble walking, you need to know that the pathways and stairs to other areas, such as the dining area in the main building, are challenging and uneven. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is a great place for anyone who wants some quiet, serene time away from everyday life!

Almost perfect

This place is magical, genuinely. It is so beautiful - not only the lagoon, but the details in the cabins and everywhere else across the site makes it lovely. In the evening you can see a trail of individually lit candles all along the hotel, which makes a beautiful walk. There are no words to describe the lagoon, which is the most beautiful water you'll ever see, no matter what time of day you look, it is always different. There are kayaks and paddle boards included (although beware you're not allowed to use them on Wednesday as it's a rest day for the lagoon). There is a lovely bar by the lagoon where you can get all kinds of drinks and snacks, plus there is a restaurant on site, although the variety of food in the dinner menu is significantly smaller than for breakfast, so it can get old quite quickly. The rooms are really nice and surprisingly not noisy at all! There are two aspects of the service that can be considered: the restaurant/bar: everyone is suuuuper friendly and lovely to deal with, however, it can be quite slow - especially in the restaurant part, the speed is lacking. Most times we had dinner there, it took a significant amount of time for them to take our order / bring the food, etc. (Even though it was not busy). Reception: there is no phone coverage in the area, so you have to communicate with the hotel through WhatsApp. I've gotta say on that front it is excellent. They would reply to any query within minutes, and there was never more than a 5 minute

10/10! Worth every penny. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights and were able to truly unplug and unwind here. The staff is excellent and very helpful. The property is clean and gorgeous. The amenities like complimentary breakfast (which was a very generous portion and delicious), exercise classes (mat Pilates, barre and yoga), water coloring class and paddle boards for guests made our experience top tier. The outdoor shower felt super clean and I couldn’t wait to use it everyday. The only down side is the property is not near any restaurants and is not walkable. We had to take a taxi to the downtown area every day and it added up, about $30 round trip each time we left. The breakfast and lunch menu were delicious. The dinner for some reason was not, which is why we’d leave every night. Also prices are quite steep compared to restaurants in downtown that taste better. However, we’d definitely come back again and will miss the property and staff until then.
