If you're ever traveling to Cancun, this Lagoon is a must to experience and see!…read more It is about 3-4 hours south from Playa De Carmen, so if you plan to go here I would recommend booking an Airbnb or hotel because it's a long drive! At this location, you can get a tour guide guy who will drive the boat and take you around the Lagoon. Unfortunately they only have Spanish Tours, since this city just barely started hosting tourist into their city. The Lagoon water is not salty; it's actually quite sweet! It's known as the 7 Color Lagoon! It goes from green, blue, really dark blue to clear. There is also an little area where the water is only to your knees (about less than 2 feet). In this area, their sand is known for exfoliation! You can cover yourself in their sand/mud... the results is like a smooth baby's butt! There are areas where you can swim too! It's about 4ft high and it's really relaxing. I would definitely come back to this location again!

Very beautiful. We were served pineapple in the water on a life preserver sprinkled with Tajin. Our guide was a local body board shop owner.

Spent one night here while in Chetumal. The rooms were clean and comfy. While on our stay, our…read morebathroom sink was leaking; we went and spoke to someone about it and they resolved the issue very quickly. They offer a very extensive complimentary breakfast starting at 6 AM. Breakfast included things such as fruit, yoghurt, cereals, oatmeal, chilaquiles, and everything to make sandwiches. The reason I am deducting a star is because they charge more than their posted rates.

They decorated our bed super cute for the honeymoon, with a sweet note. Simple room that had entrance to the lagoon, beautiful. Great food in the restaurant. We also took an amazing tour just us and the guide around the lake with ceviche and beers. Such a great day!

The rooms are pricey for not having TV, phone, or Wifi, or . They say its the theme "how…read moreconvenient for them". However they have wifi in the lobby only. And tv in restaurant. The restaurant food is pretty good. The service on behalf of staff is mediocre, no smiles or welcoming faces. The only one that was great was the boat tour guide. The lake is incredibly beautiful. So i do recommend a boat tour. Thats was the best part of staying there. But you there are many other tours by others that may possibly be more economical. Down the way a bit there is public lakefront that is beautiful...

Attempt to climb the rope unsuccessfully like me, swing, go down the mini water slide, or lounge in one of there many lounge spots! My friend Tiffany and I did it all and had the best time! You won't get bored here even spending the whole day! Food and drinks were delicious as well. We had the empanadas and ceviche (not pictured) and felt extremely satisfied!

The house salad is large and nicely done dressed with buttermilk I think. The sangria I ordered isn't on the menu. It's just wine and lemonade. Not traditional. It's a large, lovely space.

The service staff is extremely friendly and wanting to accommodate you in any way. The rooms are simple but comfortable and charming. They provide activities everyday which are highly recommended. The tour guides help explain history, social nuances and fun facts. The drives can be long (an hour one way) but are definitely worth it. They range from kayaking, ruin tours, city exploration, swimming in sink holes etc. They have surprise events sprinkled in throughout! This seems to be a more local Mexican destination vs international but I liked that. It felt special, authentic and unique from other Mexican resorts that cater to more partying and alcohol. Highly recommend!

The frontdesk workers make you miss the activity rather than restricting the access of the pets.

Charming 2 Story boutique hotel nestled within the streets of Bacalar. It has a rooftop lounge…read morewith hammocks that you can just go and sit and watch the sunset or sunrise. It's a block and a half away from Finisterre restaurant which is excellent. The hotel provides breakfast every morning in their 2nd floor terrace; variation of fruits, oatmeal, toast, avocado and eggs however you like them. They also offer massages; we booked an hour massage for 2 on our last day. They came and did them directly in our room! It was very convenient and the prices are excellent. I didn't get many pictures because I mostly took videos. Rooms are beautifully decorated, very clean and AC worked perfect.

Hotel Xcalak I would…read moreprobably never have chosen this hotel nor given it a second thought. The local people in charge of the conference I attended booked the room. It just doesn't look like the kind of place I would choose. I normally go for a brand I know or that has sufficient reviews to give me confidence to stay. However I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and comfort. If you're looking for a touristy place or one with lots of amenities, this place is NOT for you. But if you're looking for a clean and decent inexpensive place to sleep, you should consider Hotel Xcalak (pronounced "EeshcahLAHK") Most rooms only have windows facing the hall, except for a small vent window in the bathroom leading to an exhaust "chimney". The only rooms with windows to the outside street (on the 2nd and 3rd floors) are rooms ending with the number 6, 7 and 8. Rooms have: bed, night stand, desk with chair, small flat screen TV, cable, A/C, wifi (requires password), multiple electric outlets, closet, sink, bathroom with toilet and shower, hot water, towels, soap bar, shampoo, mirrors. One of my pillows was a little lumpy, but I "massaged" it into a passable form. Rooms do NOT have coffee maker, ice, landline phone, microwave, refrigerator, pool, nor any other amenities. Nothing decorative in the room. It's a shower and sleep space. If they offered more I'd award more stars. I was impressed with their cleanliness and friendly staff. There is a small convenience store directly across the street, and the Pantoja Restaurant (which I did not try) is on the ground floor. An OXXO is 5 blocks away, a rather long walk, but it has more to offer. I found the personnel to be friendly and helpful. Hotel Xcalak is located 1 block from the Museum of Mayan Culture and the open market. You can find most anything at the open market which is actually under a roof. Numerous other stores including a pharmacy are also nearby. The sounds from the hallway resonate off the tile floor, so if there is a lot of movement you may need to keep your AC or a white noise app going. Overall, if you're in need of a good night's sleep that's easy on the wallet (only 450 pesos, roughly $24 at the time of this writing), you should consider Hotel Xcalak.
