A fantastic, authentic place to stay in Bacalar. We loved the place, the beautiful view, the great food and the incredibly friendly service. Therese is a lot of activities arranged day and night at the place. Please note that you can book boat tours on the lagoon directly from the property, so there’s no need to book in advance. Also note its is from 18 years.

Por el precio que te ofrecen es una excelente opción para estar cerca del centro y frente a la laguna, hay actividades del hostal que te permiten pasarla bien cada día, lo recomiendo plenamente, solo recuerda que es un hostal y que es importante que no te confíes y cuides tus cosas ya que si llego a pasar que tomaron mis pertenencias.
