    Not a deal-breaker at all but I don’t recommend the breakfast as there isn’t much to eat and it is quite expensive.

    Fantastic hotel, clean, quiet, great facilities. Every member of staff we came across was genuinely so kind and accommodating. The extra-large bed was amazing, best nights of sleep in a long time. Great location, about 10 mins walk from the centre, 15 mins from the lagoon.

    Parking was super tight, was looking forward to breakfast but it was kinda awkward when we went out there, couldn't tell if it was a sit down kinda thing or a very very small buffet type... we ended up going somewhere else.

    Very helpful and friendly staff. Very clean.

    Only suggestion, would be an upgrade to in-room air-conditioning, as the unit took a while to cool room.

    This hotel is an oasis, only four blocks from the Plaza Principal in Bacalar. We liked everything: the Staff is accommodating, warm and friendly; room and common areas exceptionally clean; pool area is beautiful, so inviting; adequate, off the Street parking; fantastic breakfast offerings, at reasonable price.

    The bikes available to guests were not maintained, and it seemed like the brakes were purposely dissabled to discourage guests from using them (for safety reasons). There wasn't an option that I could find for a king-sized bed, and our room had two double beds (not queen)... however, we did sleep very well.

    The hotel was very clean and quiet, and the courtyard was a beautiful tropical oasis. Staff was very helpful. The included breakfast had some variety each day and was good.Neighborhood was very quiet at night. Unlimited refillable bottled water available at the bar 24hr. We were very happy that the hotel lived up to the pictures and reviews! We would definitely stay here again. 6min walk to main square where there were lots of shops, banking and restaurants.

    Just one improvement would be the bikes they offer ,all male bikes that are quite old but get the job done if you're going a short distance

    Loved this hotel so much and will definitely be back, walkable to some great restaurants & bars , safe ,my favourite place was the pool though , great rooms very spacious & friendly staff from reception to the breakfast staff

    Absolutely lovely little gem of a hotel - great breakfast with super staff. We really enjoyed our stay. Pool area is also very nice and relaxing. It's only a couple of blocks from the main square so easy to get to everything, but also very quiet at night. We felt it was good value for money.

    The chair cushions around the pool were a little worn, one of our bath towels had a hole in it. The place could use a good pressure wash.

    It was good, but there was a lack of variety fromday-to-day

    Breakfast could have had more options.

    Favourite place we stayed in Mexico! Pool area was beautiful and clean. Room felt like luxury after travelling round Mexico. Comfy big bed and the WiFi and TV connection were excellent. 5 min walk from the centre of the restaurants and bars and then from there it’s not far to the river side places also!

    This property was very unexpected, it looked very simple from the exterior, but when you entered the courtyard it became a whole new place! The setting was beautiful, peaceful and our loft bungalow was perfect! Super happy we stayed here and we would go back!

    Friend and I booked together and she was offered a room that was ground floor, very dark and damp and where the balcony overlooked staff quarters (first one on left). Really shouldn’t be offered as a room option (not for the same price as others). Front desk staff seemed put out by the request for another room but in the end waived the extra fee (only rooms left in the tier above). Manager was never on site and felt like the other staff members were very junior when dealing with issues like this.

    Gorgeous big room, very clean, wonderful en suite bathroom, balcony. Super peaceful.

    Small detail: regular coffee included in breakfast but I prefer cappuccino and that is not in the price. I saw massage tables and bikes but make a list with prices in the apartment. But just an advice, everything was perfect.

    Nice spacious 2 bedroom apartment next to the pool. The children of 10 and 13 years liked the net and hamac/relaxing chair upstairs most. Good breakfast with several options like scrambled eggs, Mexican warm special dish, pancakes and toast. Nice restaurant, good food, not a lot of options but fine and good cocktails. Really kind staff, nice pool, liked this hotel most of the 8 hotels in Mexico. 5 minutes walk to city centre.
