We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Hormiga: it's well-located; the room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated; the included breakfast was delicious and plentiful (and served by a great and friendly member of staff); the staff were always attentive to our requests and questions; and the option to swim in the lagoon at the hotel's partner bar, La Playita, between 8am-12pm before other tourists arrived was so incredibly appreciated and made it especially worthwhile. Also: the bakery/cafe opposite, Bamoa, (not affiliated with the hotel) offered some of the best food and drink we had in Bacalar. Recommended.
