Very nice place clean and they take good care of you and your needs
The room is old and dirty. Nothing to eat/drink, scary area. We didn’t sleep ALL night as there was a party right outside our window and the property did nothing about it. Party was until 7am!!!!!
Don’t dare going there it’s not for normal people
Tierra Maya Hotel - gorgeous decor and garden pool
Beautiful pool and gardens, gorgeous rooms with stunning white wash floors and concrete glaze flooring. Lovely room decor. Netflix. Extra bed in room for our family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children under 10).
Also, amazing location to walk into town too! 5 minutes from the main plaza. it is next to a fabulous breakfast place (2 mins walk) - Ixchel Bacalar
Downside - Coffee machine in room but no pods and poor WiFi connectivity.
This is a nice hotel 2 blocks from the lake and Center. The garden and pool are serene. Breakfast was at a nearby restaurant where the options where plentiful and their coffee was excellent. Wifi was good.
The staff were very helpful. This place is close to the fowtown area only two/three blocks from the Lake.. Thanks Maria (receptionist) for everything, you made our stay unforgettable.
One of the new boutique hotels in the center of Bacalar. Good location 2 blocks from the Laguna and nice restaurants like the Playita, also 5 mn from the main city square
However, the nice room pictures tend to give a false impression. The hotels is just a few rooms along a corridor, around a garden. The rooms themselves are nice and the pictures are accurate, so not misleading, but overall the hotel is nowhere near a luxury boutique hotel with spa. The rooms are directly on the street, so you get to hear cars passing by, so no Sanctuary here
I paid around 100 USD for one night, for this price there are other places in Bacalar which are better value for money, especially if they have direct access to the laguna
Also beware Google Maps indicates the hotel as being on Calle 16, whereas it is located on Calle 26
Es un hotel bonito y esta cerca del centro, algo que no me gusto fue que le comente al chico de la recepcion es que el pasillo a mi habitación estaba muy oscuro y me dijo que asi era la temática dle lugar y al otro dia que el hotel estaba mas lleno todo estaba mas iluminado

L'hôtel mériterait un rafraîchissement, mur fissuré, ou trace d'humidité, peinture qui cloque.
Hormis cela les chambres étaient confortable, emplacement proche du centre ville.
Wifi var meget svagt. Ofte var det nødvendigt at gå ud på gangen for at få forbindelse.
Personalet kunne ikke tale engelsk og var ikke servicemindede.
Værelserne ligger lige ud til en ret trafikeret vej, hvilket giver en del støj.
Poolen var ikke indbydende.
Stedets “bar” var lukket.
Stedet kaldes for “sanctuary”. Dette giver ingen mening, der er ikke roligt og afslappende.
Der var strømafbrydelse i mere end et døgn. Vi var nødt til at forlade hotellet da der ikke var udsigt til at strømmen kom igen. Personalet var ikke samarbejdsvillige i forhold til at hjælpe os med at kontakte Hotels.com for at få refusion for den overnatning vi ikke kunne have grundet strømafbrydelsen. I forhold til de priser vi ellers har mødt på Yucatan var dette sted prismæssigt i den høje ende. Ikke en rimelig pris i forhold til hvad vi fik - placering/hotellets stand/service mm.
Stedet kan ikke anbefales.
