It was ok - exactly as posted, however the hot water in the shower lasted less than 10 minutes regardless of the time of day. Lots of water pressure and the mattress was very good to sleep on. Pictures made room and bathroom appear much larger than they actually were.

The place is beautiful and the hotel is just like in the pictures. It's a very peaceful place with an incredible environment. Additionally, in the center, there are very good restaurants and games for the kids in the square. The only thing I would improve is the breakfast. There were only eggs (scrambled or omelet) and coffee. I would add some toast, butter, cereals, yogurt, etc.

My room was somewhat small and the bed a bit firmer than I would prefer, but it was clean and secure and the AC worked splendidly. The hotel grounds are garden like with a pier extending out into the lagoon. All in all, a very tranquil setting. I also enjoyed the breakfast consisting of a fruit plate, juice, coffee, frijoles and eggs prepared to order. It was much better than I was expecting. Definitely would stay here again.

Paraiso

Beautiful location right on the lagoon. The private pier let’s you have full access to the lagoon which was nice to have as all the public access areas were closed. The pier has a cute swing where I spent hours just swinging over the crystal clear waters. Can just literally step out of your room and go straight for a swim. Right in the centre to all the nice restaurants. Will definitely recommend it.

Underwhelming

Access was tough. The entry way was through what seemes to bw the back. With no signage no directions. The room was modest but less than what i expected and paid for. It was off to the side of the main building. The "hotel" was more of a private home where rooms were rented as hotels rooms.

The photos they show are very altered, the conditions of the hotel are bad, the staff has no training to make you feel welcome, the breakfast is very poor, as well as the service is terrible... you never feel so welcome, we chose to leave early and lose a night. The pool is terrible... what a shame not to feel good and welcome.

We arrived at 14:45. The person who opened the door immediately said, the check-in is at 15:00! No greetings or anything. It was the same during the breakfast. It started at 8 AM and the same person told us at 7:50, the breakfast starts at 8! She also wanted to sell a tour more expensive than what the official prices were. We booked a standard room, but they gave us a tiny service room "used" as a regular room outside of the house (literally beside the service room). No really happy with our stay there.

Beautiful property directly on the lagoon with a private pier. The lagoon is heavenly. The most breathtaking sunset and sunrise. The property is nestled in nature. Imagine being in nature camping, but in a nice bungalow. Breakfast is included and it was delicious. Authentic. Cooked fresh for each family. Walking distance to restaurants. We booked our boat tour with the hotel. The tours pick you up directly at the hotel’s pier. Hotel pier is nice with a swing where you can swing out into the water. Pier is beautiful and safe at nights too; they have multi-colored lights along the pirate night. They have 2 bungalows by the lagoon; we stayed in one. It's literally in nature so there are bugs and the sounds of nature all night long. This is perfection if you love nature. If you are scared of lizards or army ants (they are all over Bacalar), dont stay in the bungalow. Internet isnt strong in the bungalow either, but if you want to unplug, its perfect. The bathroom and shower are basic. Beds were ok. Towel and toiletries service were good. There is a TV, but we didnt turn it on because we were too caught up in the beauty of outside. Manager and staff are welcoming and helpful. We loved this place.

La habitación limpia, pero las cortinas con moho en la puerta, por la humedad. De pronto un poco de aroma feo en el baño. Esas almohadas decorativas con lazo, no creo que se laven fácilmente y provocan un poco de alergia. Pero en general.todo bien, cómodo y lindo.
