This please was inexpensive and outstanding, We arrived right before 9 from a long drive from Cancun and were pleasantly greeted and able to eat at the restaurant that closes at 9. Food was top shelf and presentation was 4 star. The staff were all amazing and the grounds pristine. This was unfortunately only a stopover to Belize. The cabanas... More

This place is beautiful, the surroundings are gorgeous and the view of the lagoon is priceless. This is a great place to unplug from the world and its worries. There are trees everywhere and birds singing very early in the morning (which will wake you up by 6:00 A.M.), chaise lounges by the side of the lagoon under tall trees... More

Positive things about this place: staff is really friendly specially at the restaurant and reception. This place has a very nice lagoon view and access - A nice central palapa with hammocks welcome you to just sit and enjoy the lagoon- which gives this place some certain "magic".  The restaurant serves really good food for reasonable prices. The owner seems like...

Breakfast was included in our price, and was delicious! home made bread an jams really made it special! We did the lagoon tour, and even if we already love the lake, we fell even deeper in love. The only drawback... More

My husband and I were very disappointed that we only stayed at this property for one night having used it as a stopover on our way to the jungles of the interior from Cancun airport. We arrived late at night in our rental car and would have driven past the turn in if we hadn't noted a little sign with... More

We called in hoping to find accommodation here after a busy 3 weeks around Yucatan and Chiapas and were in luck. They had just finished a new suite named 'Flamango' (we were the second occupants) which cost around £100 including breakfast. The room was huge with the bedroom opening up through double doors into a large private patio area complete... More

We stayed only one night at this hotel but was enough to amaze us.. we arrived to the hotel in the evening, staff was helpful and friendly. First we settled in our spacy, 4-people room. Even though we were only 2, this room was the same rate as a double room and we loved the space for our big luggages.... More

My wife and I spend a great deal of time in the Yucatan. Some friends from Paris suggested we visit this particular hotel, which is about a three hour drive from Akumal where we were staying. We had visited Bacalar several times in the past, but never ventured out on the lake. Our drive south was uneventful, lots of great... More
