The staff were incredible. There was a slight problem with the water (it wasn’t their fault) and they were quick to find a solution for my wife & I. The location was peaceful and quiet which we loved! We’ve been to a couple hotels in Bacalar, but this is definitely our new favorite! We will be back!

We had an amazing stay at Boca de Agua. Caesar, the activities guide, was incredible. After booking the sunrise kayak tour with him on our first day, we booked a different activity with him every day.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: Staff were very nice and helpful whenever asked. All employees went out of their way to assist us. The lagoon area was picturesque and serene. Food was generally good. Cons: Hotel is very expensive by local standards (equivalent or better hotels in the area are less than half the cost). Getting to the hotel requires a long drive from the highway on a poorly paved road and any transportation in or out of the hotel to the nearest town was $500 MXN each way so you were somewhat stranded at the resort. Food options at the resort were very expensive compared to local restaurants. No fitness center. Summary: Pretty hotel with good service but very overpriced (both for the room and for any food purchased) and isolated (expensive to leave the resort).

La transportacion es un reto. La comida esta buena, pero No para recomendación Michelin. Alguno de los meseros No tenian pleno conocimiento del menú. El precio del tour en velero ( proveedor externo ) de 3 horas no corresponde al servicio ofrecido: 325 dlls mas 55 dlls ida y vuelta al centro de Bacalar, y el velero No ofrecía servicio de baño.

Nunca más!

Improvisación en su máxima expresión. Aqui pareciera que nadie está a cargo del hotel. Cero servicio, no son capaces ni de poner toallas secas en la piscina! Hacen el aseo de la habitación hasta donde le alcanza la mano a la persona que supuestamente cumple esa tarea. Un muy buen destino en un pésimo hotel, caro, mal atendido, deteriorado y sucio.Lo más básico aquí no funciona y nadie parece darse cuenta
