Lodging near Bacalar Chico National Park & Marine Reserve

"Great!!"

"Do no go here unless you are sure there is NO SARGASSUM SEAWEED! The "resort" does not clean up or remove this horrible blight that has the worst stench imaginable! If you google Sargassum you will see that it is very dangerous to your health - sulphur! Very dangerous to respiratory tract and skin contact as well. We stayed one night and had to leave as my husband got asthma so bad. The ride out was 20 minutes of hell in the golf cart with the smell so terrible I almost vomited. We had to wear our N-95 masks to make the journey. Even if the Sargassum wasn't there, this is definately not at 4 1/2 star. It would barely be a 2! mold in the dated bathrooms and felt dirty. Staff was very nice though. Other hotels in this area mention sargassum so that you can decide if you wish to go there. There was no mention of this on the website and you need to warn people. They would not refund our 4 night stay. We could only stand to stay the one night - it was too dark to make the journey back out on the "trail" to find another hotel. It is very sad. The water is brown and the smell takes our breath away. The food at the restaurant is mediocre. "

"This place was wonderful. The rooms were excellent. The staff were very friendly and made us feel like family. The on-site restaurant food is amazing. We highly recommend this resort."
