Jey and Sebastian have created a small oasis of well-being here – a place designed with great attention to detail that immediately makes you feel relaxed and at home. Our room was large, bright, and very spacious, just like the bathroom. Everything was clean, stylishly furnished, and truly comfortable. A special highlight was the breakfast prepared by Mari: incredibly delicious, freshly made, and served with great care. You can really tell that everything here is done with heart. Throughout our stay, we were very well taken care of and always felt welcome. Another unforgettable experience was the sailing trip with Sebastian – simply beautiful and highly recommended. All that’s left to say is: this accommodation is more than worth it. Anyone who books a stay here will definitely not regret it!

“Perfect!”

It was perfect!

“Hospitality at its best!”

Perfect place to stay - great hosts and superb facilities! The food was absolutely fantastic - breakfast & evening meal. Pool was a dream and the rooms were top notch! Hospitality at its best - thank you Jey and Sebastian.

A true little gem! Family-run, low-key, and very quiet! The warm owners and their staff go far and beyond to make you feel at home! Breakfast and dinner are homemade and delicious! Bungalows are really cute and comfy. What a nice and relaxing place, away from the crowds :-)

“Great place and great people”

We stayed for 3 night and it was great. Jay had a big list of activities and recommendations in the area, Sebastian did a sailing trip with us and we went to a secluded, beautiful spot in the lagoon and Mari kept us fed in the morning and kept the room looking great. My wife and I ended up spending the evenings chatting to Sebastian and Jay by the fire. It was a great experience and we'll be coming back in a few days when we return from Mahahual.

“A Paradise not to be missed”

Beautiful garden with great pool Amazing dinner from Jey Sailing Tour with Sebastian The most wunderful hosts Jey and Sebastian

“Best place to stay when visiting Bacalar & the lagoon”

Best stay during our 6 weeks trip! Such a lovely place, 20mins drive from Bacalar, but really calm village in the northern, not so crowded part of the lagoon! Founder’s are great help with many things. But also just hanging out at the pool, was amazing LOVED IT ❤️

The standard including cleaness at the property, friendly owners and relaxed feel. The meals, both breakfast and dinner were high quality. The sailing trip was memorable. There is access to the Bacalar bay very nearby, where one can chill out and swim with locals. The owners offerred useful tips what to visit.

The staff, the tips they gave us to visit the area. Lovely place, apart from the too crowded Bacalar. Perfect spot to unwind and rest.

“Nice place but there are better locations if you want to experience Bacalar lake”

Great gardens and swimming pool.

“Great vibes”

Very friendly couple eager to help and share. Peaceful small resort away from Bacalar noise but with easy access to the laguna and with delicious, original and healthy food (which is quite uncommon in Mexico) served by smiling Maria. Loved place's and people's vibes 🤩

“Perfekt”

You arrive and immediately feel warmly welcomed. This small, family-run establishment captivates with its charm, and the two hosts, Jey and Sebastian, anticipate your every need. They go out of their way to ensure your comfort. The rooms are lovingly furnished and spotlessly clean. If you're looking for authentic accommodation away from mass tourism, this is the place to book. Jey and Sebastian also offer private meals and sailing trips.

“Awesome people, awesome hotel.”

A very beautiful hotel with clean rooms, very comfortable beds, even a nice hammock and some chairs outside your room to relax in. But that's not even the main reason to go here. The owners are very friendly, attentive people who want you to have the best time. From advice on what to visit/do during the day, to cutting some aloe vera to treat my sunburn, they are ready to help. Just awesome!. Also, Jey is a great chef. I absolutely recommend having dinner at the hotel when you are there!

Wonderful Stay at Casa Cactus! We had a fantastic time at Casa Cactus in Buenavista. Jey, Sebastian, and their staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We followed their advice on what to visit in the area and where to eat, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere at the house was very comfortable and relaxing, and we truly felt well taken care of throughout our stay. Buenavista is a very calm and local village with super friendly people — away from the noise of Bacalar, but close enough if you want to make a quick visit. We especially loved the breakfast – everything was fresh and delicious, with both continental and local options (the best cochinita pibil we’ve tried!). The facilities were also excellent: clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed. One of the highlights of our trip was the sailing excursion. Sebastian took us on a sailboat through the Bacalar Lagoon, where we could see the beautiful colors of the water and take a swim. Afterwards, he treated us to some mojitos and guacamole. We highly recommend Casa Cactus and would definitely love to come back!

“Wonderful”

Amazing accomodation and truly wonderful hosts! Thank you for making us feel so at home- we only wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect, and the dinner was absolutely delicious. A heartfelt thank you for such a memorable stay!

“Mexican Paradise”

Jasmin and Sebastian were lovely hosts and made our stay at Casa Cactus in Buenavista unforgettable. Everything is to like about Casa Cactus, from the carefully decorated room, to the food that is creative, delicious and fresh, to the garden with beautiful plants, a pool to refresh and attentive staff. To make the most of Casa Cactus I recommend having your own car (although the hosts can help with arranging a taxi). The place is perfect if you are looking to relax, lay back and enjoy nature, but also be able to get to more lively places like Bacalar which is 20-30 mins by car. Jasmin and Sebastian made everything to ensure our stay would be perfect and gave us great advice on things to do and visit to get a real authentic experience. (They suggested a nearby spot for a beach day on the lagoon. The spot was secluded, and felt very intimate and private, with the jungle in the background, it was a bless compared to the crowds in Bacalar. Furthermore Buenavista is a perfect spot to visit Bacalar, but also other attractions nearby like Mahahual, a town on the Caribbean side, the ruins of Chacchoben or doing guided jungle tour.) Be aware there's not much choice for eating out in Buenavista, but you won't need it with the delicious food prepared by Jasmin. We preferred having dinner at Casa Cactus because of how good it was. Me and my girlfriend had the best stay here and would definitely recommend it.

“The perfect place to relax and unwind in tranquil garden surroundings. We loved every moment!”

The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and delicious and hosts Jay and Sebastian were delightful! The suites are well designed, spacious, cool and the bed was so very comfortable. Gardens lush and a beautiful, sparkling pool. Will we be back? FOR SURE!!

“Thanks to Jey and Sébastien !”

We had an amazing time at Casa Cactus. The hosts, Jey and Sébastien, were very kind and welcoming, always ready to offer great advice on places to visit and recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their peaceful and beautiful property, surrounded by a lovely pool and an exotic garden. We highly recommend it – it's the perfect spot if you're looking to experience an authentic village, with a car to explore the surrounding areas. We also had the sailing experience with Sébastien, which was a private and great moment on the lagoon. Thank you, Jey and Sébastien!"

Charming nest and hosts in a peaceful location away from touristy Bacalar - still close to all activities

“Amazing stay!! Perfect place to feed your soul and relax your mind! 🤩”

Relaxing and calm place. You feel like in the middle of nowhere. Perfect place to relax. Hosts are really nice. Buenavista is a small village. But all people in village is super friendly. Very nice community. Beautiful garden and clean pool, from water of the lagoon. You can feel the nature.
