This resort is nestled in a lush and fertile jungle setting. Conveniently located off the 307 between Chetumal and Tulum, this tropical and inspired facility is an undiscovered gem and is an absolute paradise beckoning anyone looking for a peaceful and laid back visit with the gorgeous lagoon views, the Mexican sunrise, and a truly restorative vacation. The proprietor, Roberto, and his wife are gracious and welcoming hosts eager to share their slice of heaven with their guests. Roberto was a true host in every sense of the word. He was quick to accommodate our last minute reservation and extended more kindness and consideration than I’ve ever encountered from any staff during all of my travels. Our meal was cooked to order by a local chef and the quality was astounding. The property itself is uniquely designed with villas that blend perfectly into the setting and contribute to the overall beauty. Every part of the facility is well cared for and spotlessly clean. There are covered decks with loungers which extend over the lagoon and allow for spectacular views. I highly recommend trying this place. You won’t regret it.

Really I place to unwind and relax in solitude. The location was a bit unique and isolated so if you want to be near town this is not the best location. Now if you are looking for a real getaway then this is the place no crowds and pleanty of beach!

Great beach, terrible room
The resort is nice, I think it had a great potential. The problem was that we did not had hot water, no air condition, and room was very poor. Food was good, and the beach is great. We booked 2 night, and left after one night

This place was fantastic, absolutely everything. The lake, staff , food, was perfect. Would highly recommend, bit of a long drive from Playa Carmen but definitely worth it. The water at the lake is truly magnificent. Clearest water ive ever seen. Mosquitoes are a bit of a nuisance,bring OFF!. Our cabana was right in front of the lake, amazing morning sunrises. If you have extra days, do come down here, you won’t regret it.! You’ll love it.!

This property is self sustaining so no generator, no power. Be aware. No outlets either :). There is no "beach" per se, you have to use the pier and a ladder... but its super quiet and private. Get an SUV to drive there... :) the water is super clean on a good day, wind makes I a bit muddy. the little huts are cute, no air condition, just vents.

We only stayed one windy day/night. Did not use the restaurant for any meals as we wanted to explore Bacalar. The drive into the resort was lovely as there are pineapple groves and other crops. It out a ways not sure about transportation if you do not have a car. I was concerned about the groups from cruise ship but there was plenty of room for us to swim and lounge along the lake.

Bacalar Lagoon Resort is centrally located to visit Bacalar, Mayan sites, and beach at Mahahual by car. It is perfect for relaxation away from crowded tourist spots. Swimming on the beautiful freshwater lagoon and use of kayaks any time are great features of the place.It is great for birdwatching in early morning and at dusk. Restaurant is open to guests all of the time. Only deterrent is that you need a car to stay here as it is 8 km on gravel road from main highway.

It’s a wonderful hotel almost in the middle of nowhere. All of the staff was very attentive and very kind. They even waited for us in the kitchen so that we could get dinner the day we arrived (it was kind of late). I haven’t seen more stars at night in my life! And the lagoon is very beautiful and quiet. My girlfriend and I loved that we could take a kayak boat to row along the lagoon. We want to go back soon

The place is pretty clean and very nice view. Food is good but expensive. A lot of mosquitos and in general my stay wouldve been better if the owner was not so rude and felt my kids were welcomed. She had a lot of rules I will not recommend it to people that are trying to enjoy your vacations.

The place is beautiful. It had rained a lot the night before we got there and it was hard to get through the 3.5 km of dirt road so once we got to the place we did not want to leave to visit the ruins or do other activities. The cabañas are as described except that the ones closer to the lagoon do not have A/C. We talked to the front desk about this but they said there was nothing they could do. This was a major issue for us. As soon as the sun came down the place was full of mosquitoes so we could not be outside (even with bug spray) and inside the cabin was extremely hot. We did not sleep at all. We had booked (and prepaid) for 2 nights and left immediately after the first night to find other accommodations.

PARADISE UNIQUE PLACE LOVE IT!!!
I was really happy at the resort because it felt private and you were disconnected from everything because it was in the middle of nothing.The food and service were great too. I will definitely come back!!! If you drive your car will be better you can go to Bacalar take boat tour, visit Chacchoben ruins, and we recommend to arrive Chetumal airport because Cancún is really far.

Excellent location but stay was ruined...
We were looking for a place right on the water, far-far from the city and any industrial noise, that is blended with the nature, and comfortable for relaxing and peaceful vacation. Place is really beautiful - it's even more impressive then on a picture, but stay was ruined with construction work (you hear hammering entire day) and organized groups of tourists that arrive midday making lots of noise and disturbing peace. Furthermore food was mediocre and staff would get your order incorrectly or forget something that you ordered even when you are only one in the restaurant. Rooms were clean and nice but be aware that there is no AC in every room and also that its disabled in those that have till think June.

Great wee spot
We stayed for two nights and loved every minute at Bacalar Lagoon Resort. The staff were great. They sent us an email with directions before our arrival which was lovely. It was very relaxing and we felt like we were in our own wee world. It has its own lagoon and includes the use of the kayaks. Bacalar township is a 30min drive so a car is a must. Would love to stay again.

Very quiet, this place is beautiful and you can definitely relax in this place it is more of a place to get away from all the noise and service. They do have wifi but it really didn't work in our room only outside by the lagoon or restaurant. No TV which is good and bad because since it is very lonely you really runout of options to do. I would recommend at least getting a better internet service. Other than that it was so beautiful and staff was so friendly and felt safe. It looks like they are building more houses which is good because it only has a few huts. Food is okay not the best but I would recommend going out to eat early too because to get to the resort you have to go through the forest literally and you might get lost since its pitch black.

Right on the lagoon. Beautiful warm fresh water.
Another day in paradise. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly. You just can not beat the view of the lagoon. It was nice to have fresh water to swim in and get away from the smell of the ocean as the sargassum problem is getting very bad on the coast
