Cristalino Lagoon Front Hotel, Restaurant & Spa
9.1 (118 reviews)

Cristalino Lagoon Front Hotel, Restaurant & Spa ★★★★★

📍 Costera 511, Bacalar

"The hotel is perfectly located, but breakfast isn't included; it's only available à la carte, which is expensive and not very good. Certainly not worth the price. The same goes for the dinner menu: very limited choices, overpriced, and truly mediocre. It's a shame because the restaurant has an extraordinary view, but it gives the impression that they're not making any effort because of it. Food is also an important part of a hotel experience. We went out for dinner in town, but not for breakfast. We won't be returning."

The Yak Lake House - Hostal
8.7 (52 reviews)

The Yak Lake House - Hostal ★★★

📍 Boulevar Costero de Bacalar Manzana 2 Entre Calle 24 y 26, Bacalar

"We stayed here as part of a longer trip around Mexico. The location is really stunning and the staff were really friendly - we were checked in by Imara who was extremely helpful, especially regarding extending our stay. The hostel also puts on a lot of events and has extensive facilities including a bar and catering."

Our Habitas Bacalar - Adults Only
9.4 (107 reviews)

Our Habitas Bacalar - Adults Only ★★★★

📍 Carretera Federal 307 Xul Ha, Bacalar, Chetumal

"For those who enjoy the sound of rain to help them fall asleep, this place is a haven for deep sleep during the rainy season. The cabins aren't very soundproof; the heavy rain pouring down into the surrounding woods, combined with the air conditioning on and blankets tucked in, creates a truly immersive ASMR experience. We slept soundly for twelve hours straight. The weather hasn't been great lately, with less sunshine during the day, so the scenery isn't as beautiful as on a sunny day. However, the lack of direct sunlight actually makes it easier to relax by the lake and enjoy a drink. The lake water is a bluish-green hue regardless of the weather, very calm, and about 2 meters deep, suitable for a short swim. The hotel rooms are rather basic. As shown in the last picture, the bathroom is open-air, so you have to take a shower when it's not raining. ⚠️Note: Those who are afraid of insects, frogs, or lizards should be careful, as you're bound to encounter them on the road and while eating. It's worth mentioning that the hotel restaurant was a pleasant surprise; almost every dish was a hit."

Hotel Carolina Bacalar
9.2 (103 reviews)

Hotel Carolina Bacalar ★★★

📍 Boulevard Costero de Bacalar Sur No.625, Bacalar

"The hotel is beautiful and located near the city centre, which is very valuable. It is on the edge of the lagun to be able to bath. The staff is served. We did not appreciate that there is no fridge in the room. We are disappointed with the breakfast that is a grilled bread, a fruit board and a omelet."

Hotel Maria Maria Hotels in Bacalar

Hotel Maria Maria

"This place is adorable .. the upper balconies have a nice view of the terrace and part of the lagoon. The host/owner is really kind and makes you a complementary breakfast each morning. This place is half a block up from the lagoon’s free public dock and a couple blocks from the city center which comes alive at night! We wandered all over the area and would choose this place again in a heartbeat!"

Casa Zazil Hotels in Bacalar

Casa Zazil

"stayed here for 2 nights. very helpful ladies that owns it. They helped booked our tour on the lake. Clean rooms ond good breakfast. you can choose different every day. nice little pateo in the middle where have your breakfast. a little walk downtown but we found very nice restaurants just around the corner. Absolutly recommend to stay here."

Boca de Agua Bacalar Hotels in Bacalar

Boca de Agua Bacalar

"This hotel is an architectural masterpiece and absolutely stunning. They are also one of the few hotels that didn’t destroy the vital mangroves protecting the lagoon (and it’s beautiful color). Needless to say that the lagoon is an absolute stunner. The service/management, however, is not worthy 5 stars and also not a Michelin key. We were very disappointed. A few things to note before you book this place: - very inconsistent service: for example, we never received a WhatsApp with all the info/tours, only after asking for it again. - very poor planing of tours (we booked a sailing trip … the first day it took them 2 hours of “confirmation” to end up telling us it’s not possible. We then booked for the next day and the tour started about 1 hour late, again, us just “waiting” and wasting our precious holiday time. No “sorry” whatsoever from the hotel. - the tour was supposed to include “sunscreen” (mentioned in PDF flyer). When the guide arrived (a very nice and competent local guide), she told us that sun screen is not available and anyway is heavily damaging the lagoon and should be avoided - feels like something a) the hotel should advocate and b) not sell as part of their tours - waiters service also very inconsistent. Some friendly, some couldn’t even say “hello” - food also very inconsistent (and expensive). Pasta à la mantequilla was a nightmare, while the hamburger was delicious. - on the day of NYE we proactively asked about a table in the restaurant only for the staff to tell us that we can only have dinner there if we buy the NYE menu for 4500 MXN per person ( that’s around 215 EUR pP ). The hotel is very remote (which is why we booked it of course), so the next restaurant is 20 minutes away. They never proactively mentioned this (all they did was inform that there will be a NYe dinner) Overall, too many little things that went wrong to make this stay enjoyable."

"Careless housekeeping: They change the sheets daily, but one night when I returned, I found they had given me a set stained with blood. The front desk and restaurant service were excellent. The restaurant food was delicious."

Casa Aakal Lagoon Front ★★★
"Extremely overpriced for what they provide, hotel pictures show it better than what it really is. Hotel is 25 minutes walk away from the centre. The hotel is ship containers built as hotel rooms which are much smaller than in the pictures. The walls have no insulation so you can hear everything from surrounding rooms at all times. Staff does not speak english but can be helpful with google translate. Breakfast is very poor, cornflakes filter coffee and ham and cheese sandwiches, there is a nespresso coffee machine but that is not included in the breakfast you paid for. The water shown in the pictures is very shallow and you can barely swim there. Renting a kayak is not included and has an extra charge. 3 star accomodation at best."
