Very well run. The room could use a chair to sit on and maybe a shelf to put you stuff on. Other than that very good.

The niceness of the staff has been mentioned before and it really is a plus for the hotel. The rooms are comfy and well-equiped for a stay within this price range.

Very friendly employees (especially the owner) and nice big absolutely clean room. We stayed one night and would book there definitely again! It's calm and has nice smelling soaps. Thanks a lot for the service. Hope Bacalar doesn't get too quick too touristy and destroyes the beautiful laid back atmosphere and its unique nature (like Cancun, Playa and Tulum) because it's a cool town, not many tourists (but there are - of course) and the lagoon is gorgeous. Even though we've heard that this small paradise is started to be exploitated. Sad but true.

This is a hidden gem here in Bacalar, Mexico. The owners are fantastic. The staff is so friendly. It's just a few blocks to the Town square where there's something to do for everyone.
