We had a great time here. We enjoyed the wonderful, made-to-order breakfast each morning with great views. We took the kayaks out on the water. The pool was cool and refreshing. Our room had great a/c and a comfortable bed.
The room I reserved was very spacious and roomy. Are room was cleaned every day by the maids. It was left spotless for us plus enough towels and beach towels we had for every day use. The staff were amazing. They were very nice and attentive to all of us. We were a total of 5 guest. But the view of this boutique was breath taking.
The hotel is remote, down a 2km dirt track road. This adds to the relaxation and "switch off" feeling. The property is right on the lagoon, so it is very beautiful and nice to be so close to the water. The kayaks are free to use. However, the hotel has only 1 restaurant and the menu is rather limited. Service was rather slow considering the place never had more than 4 tables for dinner service. Given that there are no other places to eat nearby and no hotel entertainment, evenings can feel a little slow. Our room was large and spacious with a large balcony. At times there was a bad smell coming from the sink, but other than that no complaints. I think this hotel is suited for maybe 2 nights, but we stayed for 4, which in hindsight felt too long.
Beautiful hotel with an amazing view, comfortable rooms. I just didn’t like the service specifically at the reception, poor customer service, lack of engagement, and misinformation about the tours.

Love the Tranquility, view, cleanliness, pier, acces to lake. Did not like: lack of info about too many stairs, lack of help to carry laugage, no tv in rooms, broken kayaks. We stayed 2 nights and did not have acces to pier one afternoon. Staff mentioned that they have ordered all the stuff that we felt were missing.
This place is a gem in paradise. With direct access to the lake and 10 min away from town, the location is quiet, relaxing and immersed in nature. Beautiful views all around. Rooms are spacious and have large terraces with hammocks. The only thing I’d strongly suggest is improving the quality of their bedsheets. The thread count had to be the lowest possible, feeling rough and scratchy against the skin. Not a great way to rest at night.

When we first arrived, the staff didn’t greet us at all and rather just read us a large list of rules to follow during our stay which they constantly broke on their own. Our calls and messages were never answered. Some staff was also selling alcohol to a loud, already very drunk man at around midnight though one of the rules stated that we could not make noise after 10pm. The towels provided in our room were dirty. They would take our towels for cleaning and never return them either. I would definitely advise that you do not stay here.
Horrible, Horrible! Customer service is awful. They don’t really care you’re standing in front of them. Absolutely rude and disrespectful. Very dirty and dated. The bed was hard as rock! We were unable to sleep and woke up with major shoulder and lower back pain. Couldn’t wait till morning to leave that place! The outdoor area was so small and crowded. The restaurant is a complete joke and totally uninviting. I’m glad we stayed Cristalino our other days in Bacalar, that was an amazing experience for less money.
Let me start off by saying that the staff is INCREDIBLE. I dealt closely with Victor who’s a waiter at the restaurant and Eduardo from the front desk. These gentlemen are superb. Both are so friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help. The property itself is stunning! We had two rooms and the closer to the water the villa, the more stunning the view but we got a view to the lagoon from both rooms. Traveled to Bacalar after attending a wedding in Cancun. I traveled with my husband, son and 81yo mother. The property has a lot of stairs so that was tough on my mom and the road in to the property is very bumpy. If you’re renting a car I’d suggest a compact SUV at minimum.
I personally love smaller boutique hotels over larger resorts but with that comes less amenities which I was totally fine with but keep that in mind. This boutique hotel is still very high end. The quality of the food. The comfort. Their toiletries they provide are eco friendly.
