The Poza Clara staff were amazing and helpful. I advised the hotel it was a bday gift for my wife, and they made a beautiful floral arrangement on the bedding. Thank you! The associated restaurant was not so good. Food was overcooked and server had a poor attitude. Better to go next door to Ixchel food.

Lovely Mexican hotel walking distance to the central plaza and 15 minute walk to quiet beach club. Cooking facilities could have been better and only one plate provided.

Great stay. As other travellers mention the beds are rock hard. Also we had to ask for a blanket. They are availible if you ask. Pool is nice and location is great in the center. Stayed in superior room with balcony.

Nice staff, and a cool place. Unfortunately there was mildew in the room, and the bed was uncomfortable. I did enjoy the breakfast though.

Poza Clara is good value for the price (especially as hotels are getting more expensive in Bacalar). We stayed in the junior suite. The room looked better in photographs, but it was OK. Good AC, and surprisingly quiet for a room that faced the street. The bed was very hard. I like a firm mattress, but this bed was so firm it was uncomfortable. A mattress topper would make a big difference in quality of sleep. The kitchenette had the basics. There is no dining or sitting area inside the suite, so it’s basically a regular hotel room with a sink, fridge, and 2 burner cook top. The location is great. Close to the park and lots of restaurants, shops, etc.

Todo excelente desde la atención y detalles de Perla hasta las instalaciones como la habitación que esta equipada con una cocineta básica y un bonito balcón con hamaca. Lo único que pondría en contra es que algo tenia el agua que tras bañarse los ojos se me enrojecían, como algún tipo de reacción alérgica, desconozco si sea del agua municipal o las tuberías del hotel. Asimismo otro punto en contra es el cobro de $300 para ingresar la hielera al club de playa, debería ser algo que como huésped ya se incluya para mayor disfrute de las instalaciones.
