Hotel CasaBakal - A pie de Laguna - Bacalar

Our family of 3 stayed in the room with 4 twin beds (backpacker style!) when we stayed during the annular eclipse. The room was very basic, especially the bathroom, but the view was stunning. We loved the pool, dock and ease of checking out the included kayaks and paddleboards. Service was excellent and everyone was so friendly - some of the best service we have experienced in Mexico. The only downside was the beds were quite hard and could use some kind of softer covering. Overall, highly recommend!

Our family had a great weekend stay at Casa Bakal. Staff was friendly and helpful and made our stay very relaxing.

One of them most beautiful places on earth. Danny at the desk was so helpful. The food was wonderful and the staff so polite and kind. We went kayaking and took the 3 hour sailing trip around the lagoon. The guides on the sail boat were fun and knowledgeable about the area. Met some wonderful people from around the world and one family we'll be keeping in touch with !! I love this smaller size, quaint hotel, I wouldn't change a thing about it !!

Great location by the lake but not worth it if you do not get a cabin w lake-view. Nice food and enjoyed the SUP and kayaks provided by the hotel. We were a couple seeking a relaxing and calm stay and we did not understand it was a family hotel based on the marketing; so we were surprised by german/dutch children running around and shouting during the day that impacted our stay negatively. Please note that its a huge difference between lake-view and not lake-view cabins. The non-lake view cabins feels small and if you don’t want full insight from people walking by outside you will have the curtains closed (walking path just in front of the bed). Poor wifi in the room. To summarize: The hotel area, surroundings, food, vibe and Staff are great. The non-lake view cabins are overpriced and not nice. Please note that the chill vibe of the place is easily disturbed by a few loud guests, hence its a little of a gamble to stay here if you’re a couple looking for calmness.
