A fantastic, authentic place to stay in Bacalar. We loved the place, the beautiful view, the great food and the incredibly friendly service. Therese is a lot of activities arranged day and night at the place. Please note that you can book boat tours on the lagoon directly from the property, so there’s no need to book in advance. Also note its is from 18 years.
