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."

"It was an enjoyable trip overall. The only two issues I had was 1. My unit with the jacuzzi had some wear, seems like there was a leak because there’s sealant on all corners throughout the room. 2. The couples massage was nice!! I asked for tension/deep tissue but didn’t get that. It was a bit light and skipped front upper body area."

Casa Aakal Lagoon Front
8.2 (101 reviews)

Casa Aakal Lagoon Front ★★★

📍 Costera 597a, Bacalar

"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."

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."

Tropic Bacalar Hotels in Bacalar

Tropic Bacalar

"Very nice location that faces directly the lagoon. You can rent a kayak or a sup directly with the hotel and visit the surroundings yourself without having to pay the expensive organised tours in the city center. They have a common kitchen you can use any time. They serve the breakfast here (not too fancy but good enough for my needs). The staff is really open, kind, and helpful. I would definitely come back."

Casa Árabe Hotels in Bacalar

Casa Árabe

"I extended and enjoyed my four day stay at the laid back Casa Arabe. Most will go to Bacalar for the lagoon and this place has a great view from the many hangout spots in the garden that is directly to the lagoon. From the dock there are tours on different types of boats, canoes and paddle boards. Could the rooms use a renovation - sure they could (and is apparently planned). But it’s perfectly located for lagoon views and with very friendly staff it makes it made it great value for money in my opinion. Thanks Yousef and especially Shiraz for making my stay very pleasant 🙂"

Hotel Lydna Ki'n

"Unlike other similarly priced hotels in Bacalar, this one offers a simple breakfast – coffee (delicious, I might add), fresh fruit (very welcome when traveling), toast, and jam. The rooms are exactly as described. The staff are great, very helpful. Excellent value for money."

Hotel & Suites Oasis Bacalar Hotels in Bacalar

Hotel & Suites Oasis Bacalar

"I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel in Bacalar. The location is perfect — just a short walk to some great restaurants and incredibly close to the lagoons, which are absolutely breathtaking. The whole place has this peaceful, laid-back vibe that made it so easy to relax and enjoy every moment. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the people. The staff were kind, helpful, and always made me feel welcome. You can tell they really care about the guests. The owner was especially warm and friendly, which added such a personal touch to the whole stay. If you’re visiting Bacalar and want a place that’s not only beautiful but also feels like a home away from home, this is it. I’m so glad I stayed here and would definitely come back."

Azul 36 Hotel Hotels in Bacalar

Azul 36 Hotel

"Nicely located near to the centre of Bacalar and many nice restaurants and beach clubs at arms length. Azul 36 is a nice small hotel with very friendly staff who do their best to make your stay as comfy as possible. There is a pool area which is partly in the shade and a sun roof terrace with lounge corner and tub to cool down. The rooms are modern beach style and the beds are comfortable."

Cristalino Lagoon Front Hotel, Restaurant & Spa ★★★★★
"It is worth mentioning the friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the rooms, the location and the view. The plus is that they lend you a kayak and a board, which makes for a unique experience on the lagoon. I will definitely return."

Our Habitas Bacalar - Adults Only ★★★★
"The cabins were beautiful, and the bathrooms were open-air. The Lagoon Breeze Rooms offered almost no view of the lagoon and felt similar to the Jungle Rooms. The restaurant was surprisingly delicious! The most worthwhile activity was the hotel's paddleboard sunrise activity, which cost an extra fee. However, it was very private and included coffee and fruit. A truly worthwhile experience!"

Hotel Isabella Bacalar Front Lagoon ★★★
"We had an absolutely perfect stay at the Isabela Bacalar. The hotel is magnificent, very well maintained, and the facilities are ideal for fully enjoying Bacalar. Direct access to the lagoon is a real bonus: perfect for swimming, with an incredible and very relaxing setting. The restaurant is also excellent; we thoroughly enjoyed our meals throughout our stay. A huge thank you to the entire team for their warm welcome and kindness. Special mention to Aynuifo, always smiling, attentive, and lovely in all circumstances—truly exceptional service! Everything was perfect from beginning to end, and we will gladly return. I recommend this hotel without hesitation!"
