We're just back from a few days in Laguna Bacalar. Our first night we stayed in Villas Baclar - the cheapest room / "suite" they had was 1,500 pesos which is over twice the price of other hotels / hotelitos in the area. The person who checked us in, who i understand was the owne,r was extreemley rude and didn't... More

available, it was only offered after numerous queries at the office. Good things: thWe expected more for the price. Beds were fine, but there was nothing comfortable to sit on, and we had a sitting area. The only thing in it, the futon, was stuck in open position. There was no drinking water provided, only one 500ml bottle for 2... More

Just back from a short 24 hours visit to Laguna Bacalar from our rented condo in Puerto Aventuras following advices from passing travellers. Experience unique and exciting for who wants to get off the beaten path and live an exotic experience. The road from Tulum to Laguna Bacalar very different from the Carretera Cancun-Tulum. Very boring, not much to see,... More

Going south on Highway 307 turn at the 2nd Pemex Gas station on the left and continue toward the lagoon until you are about 2 blocks from the water. Look to your right and you'll see a miniscule sign identifying Villas... More

We took a weekend away and chanced upon Bakalar Villas. There are a number of tatty-looking hotels that haven't evolved since the 1960's, and then there's Bakalar Villas. Rather than being on the water, it's on the opposite side of the street with stunning views of Laguna Bacalar. The hotel is very new and many rooms are still under construction.... More

I love this place! If I could move in and live here I would! Immaculate and accomadating! Fernando went out of his way to make our stay pleasant. The entire staff was kind, attentive and fun. My mom and I stayed in a juinior suite and it was more than enough space! Internet access was wonderful to have and the... More
