Good place to stay

Overall everything was great, the owners were very nice and friendly. The room was comfortable and amazing view from the lake. The only thing is that it's kind it far from the Centro is better if you have a car will be easier to move to places.

This property is gorgeous, it's right on the lagoon. There are chairs and hammocks overlooking the lagoon. There's kayaks, paddle boards, chairs, and swings down by the lagoon and the easy access to it was great. Only about 5 minute drive to the center of town. We traveled to 8 towns while we were in Mexico and this was one of the most comfortable beds we had. The rooms are nice and big in person, the pictures didn't look that great and we almost didn't book it but are so glad we did. The owners live on property and were very nice.

Beautiful setting, many details were thoughtfully planned in the designing of the property. Owner was very kind and said we could pay later if I didn’t have the cash (but cash was previously communicated so I had it) I loved all the pretty lights up at night, very magical. Ice cold fridge and AC. We only stayed one night but this is the sort of place you can stay for your whole vacation.

Nice stay in Bacalar

Our family of four adults enjoyed our stay at Villas Karalv. The owners lived right on the property and were very friendly and accommodating. The room was a good size, the bathroom on the small size. The A/C worked great. Water pressure is low but it worked out fine for us. There is a mini frig, 2 burners for cooking, which we did not do, and a coffee maker, nice size patio with table and chairs. The beds were comfortable. The view is beautiful with access to the lagoon for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. We loved the pool and enjoyed having the owner's cat and dogs around. The location was good. We did have a car and found many stores and restaurants nearby. Thank you for making our stay an enjoyable one!

If I had to stay just one night, I would be okay with the conditions of the room. Since we stayed 2 nights, the AC not properly working and hardly any hot water in the shower and the fact that the water pressure was not working either was hardly bearable. The WiFi was not reliable either and that was difficult as we relied on it for directions and planning. The only good part of the stay was the fact that the lagoon was accessible but in hindsight I would’ve spent more money for a nicer place to stay in Bacalar.

Beautiful views and panorama of the lagoon. Sunrise here is exceptional. The water access is private and plentiful, with use of sit-upon kayaks and one SUP included. The front porch of the unit offers a picturesque view of the garden and shared spaces. Wifi is strong and communication with the host is clear. If your Spanish is limited, like mine, she has a translator on WhatsApp for English communication. Despite being just off the highway, you cannot hear the traffic. This may be because the fans and air-conditioning unit is noisy. The gates are closed at night and the property feels safe and secluded. The 2 dogs on the property are friendly. The unit(unit 4) is kept clean but shows signs of aging.. the bathroom sink did not function. The show pressure was a trickle with limited hot water. The kitchen sink also showed signs of aging but function well. There is only a 2-burner hot plate for cooking…this works well given its age. We did not attempt to try any cooking other than eggs. The bed was very comfortable and King-sized. The air conditioner keeps the room at a comfortable temperature and functions well. We had a car rental and it was easy enough to get to town from here. I think it would be a long walk along a busy highway. There is a small beer stand just steps from the villa that is open late. I believe that by bringing a realistic expectation for accommodations in a “small, remote, town in Mexico in this price range, you will be more than pleased

Es un hotel de 4 habitaciones no mu lujos pero comodas. Las cuales cuentas con frigobar,mini cocina,platos, vasos, microondas, en sus instalaciones. Cuenta con alberca,acceso directo a la laguna con un muelle un poco ya deteriorado pero funcional, con kayak gratis, un lugar muy privado, para estar varios días, aún costado del propio hotel. Puede. Rentar motos acuáticas y también recorridos en lanchas. Vale la pena reservar

Very quiet place to stay with amazing views! Everything in the room is outdated but it was comfortable. The door had a large gap in in and a little frog came into our room. Other than the frog and the smelly drains, it was a decent place to stay.
