10/10 Excellent
Excellent stay in Bacalar. The rooms are spacious and spotless, the pool is great, and the staff were incredibly helpful. The front desk gave us great recommendations for activities. Having bicycles available was super convenient. The location is perfect, right near everything. We nearly booked a much more expensive hotel outside of town and are so glad we didn’t. Staying here was far more convenient and enjoyable. Will be back for sure.

The only improvement could be better towels as they’re a bit scruffy and a suitcase standin the room.

Great accommodation with private lagoon access. Small restaurant onsite for breakfast (maybe just burgers and salads for day menu). Hotel restaurant 30 seconds away sells beers and has larger menu. Or 20ish minute walk to town. Would go back, so nice to be right on the lagoon

We stayed 4 nights at Rancho Encantado and it was a totally unforgettable experience, in all the good ways!
We had the privilege of staying in 2 different types of room during our stay - we were booked into a lake side cottage but the lovely Gerardo moved us to a Laguna Master Suite for two of the nights as there was a bit of construction going on, and we wanted to avoid the noise. I have to say, both styles of rooms are beautiful and for different reasons. The lake side cottages feel like...

Amazing hotel on the lagoon. We spent so much time on their pier and in the lagoon using the free canoes and paddle boards with life jackets.
We didn't eat here but used the bar. The food did look good though.
The room was nice but could do with a curtain around the bathroom area so people can get changed more discreetly.
I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely place to stay, a good sized room, bathroom and balcony with hammock.
Staff are wonderful and very helpful, even helped us to contact local tour company for onward travel.
Breakfast was nice, (it would be great to have coffee making in the room, but this was available at reception.
Location is good, just back from the lake but central to restaurants and shops.
Highly recommend!
