Great place to stay!! Friendly staff, rooms were bigger than we thought they would be and super clean. We went on a family trip, 10 of us between adults and kids, felt safe at all times. After the lake we walked to the centro from the hotel at night,there was a night market with all types of food and goodies. Families, couples, groups of friends and some by people by themselves, we were all enjoying the great atmosphere, lots of fun!!!

Rooms are clean and nice, in hotel amenities it is great with the exception of a restaurant as the bar only serves breakfast so we were on our own for dinner, It’s a nice property.

Upon checking in, I realized the hotel was not in el centro and even though it was tantalizingly close to the lagoon, massive trees and gated properties blocked any potential view. That was my fault for not using google maps to geo locate it. We had paid the surplus for the “balcony” and were assigned room 205 overlooking the breakfast area and electrical wires. After settling in, I went to change and a woman peered into our room since our windows literally overlooked the passageway to all the rooms on the 2nd floor. I went downstairs to request another room since I did want to have the shades drawn at all times and at first was told there was no room avilable until March 3rd. I asked to speak to the manager and left my number for a call back. When we left for dinner, I told the desk clerk I had not received a call but then was informed we would be moved to another room the next night which was greatly appreciated. That balcony overlooked the front of the building with lush trees and total privacy for prying eyes. The room was very clean a d had a small fridge and safe (that did not work). The added touches of amenities in the bathroom were a nice surprise and linens were comfortable. We did not have breakfast on property ($10us pp) and preferred going out for it. The property overall needs a little love and some cosmetic touches on the staircase. I highly recommend it for families with small children vs older teens. My next visit to bacalar will have a hotel on the lagoon.

Towels like sandpaper, sheets were badly worn. There isn’t a restaurant and the man at the front desk couldn’t have been bothered by us. We left a day early without a refund. It was like paying to not have to stay.

Hotel was very lovely . About a mile or so from all the restaurants. Barcalar is a beautiful city however there are lot of homeless dogs in the area . So lots of barking but that’s not the hotels fault . I can sleep thur it but just want to make people aware . They cleaned our room everyday which we where not expecting but it was great . Had a balcony which was nice when it rained we could outside and enjoyed a drink . Would definitely recommend for a budget friendly stay .

For the price I paid the accommodations were ok I think for a little more money I could have gotten nicer. It’s small and quiet which was nice. I never saw anyone tending the bar but sure when it’s open. WiFi was spotty occasionally but overall good. The power went out the first morning so also meant no water. Two bottles of water were in the room upon my arrival but were never restocked. The staff was friendly and communicated well. Close to many tours 13 min walk to city center no need for taxi or driving the location is great. I felt safe walking at night even at 1a

Do not go in this hotel! Supposedly a 4,5 star hotel...well, it’s not! The pictures are really misleading, as they depict only the views from 1 or 2 rooms. Don’t expect facilities like a 4 or 5 star hotel. It’s like 2 apartment building facing the lake. Our room has a great view on the lake but the jacuzzi was disappointing. We always had to add hot water through a faucet because it doesn’t have a water heating system like you could expect. I’m not even talking about the “restaurant” (basically 4 tables outside and no staff to take your order or even take back the plates and dishes of what seemed to be the leftovers of the night before). Then, we’ve been refused an early check in (and I’m talking here of 2:30pm instead of 3pm) Whereas my wife is pregnant and needed to lie down! It was enough, we decided to cancel our second night and ask for a refund. We’ve been told it was not their decision but hotel.com, so we called them to make that happen. But hotel.com process requires to check with the hotel first, and when they tried, the hotel refused to take the call because supposedly they don’t speak English!(Well, I’ve seen their answers on trip advisor and I confirm that they do speak English). Anyway, at the end, the hotel was lying to us saying it was hotel.com decision when it was actually their call and they obviously, they refused to refund us the room... So please don’t go there. I recommend instead the rancho encanto, just 5mn drive from this one.
