The Poza Clara staff were amazing and helpful. I advised the hotel it was a bday gift for my wife, and they made a beautiful floral arrangement on the bedding. Thank you! The associated restaurant was not so good. Food was overcooked and server had a poor attitude. Better to go next door to Ixchel food.

I liked the location of this hotel. It’s in a quiet area, but only three blocks to the center square. They have a beach club with kayaks included and an on site restaurant. The only thing I didn’t like were the rock hard beds. It made getting a good night sleep very difficult.

This was an absolutely stunning little boutique hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Tons to do in walking distance but I did drive. There is parking at the hotel but it’s a little tight so I just parked on the street. I didn’t know ahead of time that the hotel also had a private lagoon club. You can order food and drinks there that they will send down from the restaurant. This was definitely helpful when all of the other lagoon clubs were super packed on the weekends.

Poza Clara is good value for the price (especially as hotels are getting more expensive in Bacalar). We stayed in the junior suite. The room looked better in photographs, but it was OK. Good AC, and surprisingly quiet for a room that faced the street. The bed was very hard. I like a firm mattress, but this bed was so firm it was uncomfortable. A mattress topper would make a big difference in quality of sleep. The kitchenette had the basics. There is no dining or sitting area inside the suite, so it’s basically a regular hotel room with a sink, fridge, and 2 burner cook top. The location is great. Close to the park and lots of restaurants, shops, etc.
