We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are spacious and well air conditioned which is needed in Bacalar given the heat. We also really appreciated having a big TV with streaming services and a fridge in the room. The shower was super powerful with hot water. Huge comfortable bed. About a 15 minute walk to the main square and a 7 minute walk from the free swimming spot. The staff were really friendly and gave us recommendations for our stay. We hugely appreciated being able to use the facilities (showers/toilets) later in the evening after we checked out ahead of catching a night bus. Would recommend if you’re visiting Bacalar!

“Nice affordable place in Bacalar”
Spacious, clean, comfy and quiet room, aircon and fridge. I like that the spacious sink is outside of the bathroom, easy to access. 8 min walk to the free public pier to swim or relax. They provide separate towels to go bathing in the lake. Safe parking on the street in front. Nice small common kitchen and place to sit.

“Very good standard”
Nicest hotel of our trip to Mexico, literally the only one that had both hot water and good water pressure, and also the only one with clean, renovated bathroom. Room was clean and comfortable, fridge in the room, nice cosmetics provided. The distance to town is the only minor inconveniece but it is perfectly walkable. Also drinking water available for guests! The shared kitchen could be a little bit cleaner.

“Unfair extra payment charges”
the hotel illegally charged me the Portal's commission for renting the room which should be normally paid directly by the hotel to the Portal. The hotel illegally transferred the payment of the portal's commission to me . This additional commision never appeared in my confirmed booking conditions. This is an unfair practice because it is not the client's duty to pay the portal.'s fee for services. The hotel's employee could not explain me why they charged me a higher amount for renting a room than the amount confirmed in the booking conditions. I paid 25USD extra for 2 nights than the confirmed price in the confirmation. Be careful and don't agree with this unfair practice.

The owner was very kind and spoke good English. He explained everything and gave me some useful tips about public accesses to the lagoon and recommended a good place to rent a bicycle. There was hot water in the shower with good water pressure. The room was quite clean although there was a thin spider living with me. There was a fridge and a fan in my room. Drinkable water was available next to the reception.

“A pleasant base for exploring the beauty of the area.”
Clean and spacious rooms that surpass Mexican standards, providing a comfortable stay. While it may not be located directly on the shores of Bacalar Lagoon like some of the fancier and pricier hotels, it still holds its own charm. And as fancy and touristy hotels are not our gig, Hotel Balché was the perfect choice The lagoon is just a couple of minutes away by car (10 min walking), and we highly recommend visiting the Balneario Ecológico for a refreshing dip. The rooms at Hotel Balché come equipped with a fridge and there is a common kitchen, though not extensively stocked for cooking. However, it's sufficient for preparing your own breakfast, which you can enjoy in the hotel's internal courtyard. The staff were friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience of our stay.

“The absolute best low price stay in Bacalar!”
The property is in a quiet part of town but easy walking distance from the centre and the lake. The staff, especially the proprietor (Dion) were welcoming and informative and our room was very comfortable with a huge bed and modern bathroom facilities. It was also very reasonably priced considering all of the above. It was so lovely that we returned for two more nights later in our trip. Can’t say more than that!

“All good except the kitchen”
The room itself was very modern, clean and comfortable. It's a short walk from the centre but close to the docks overlooking the water.

“Nice, affordable hotel within walking distance of the lagoon.”
Nice, cheap, clean hotel with friendly staff. 10mins walking distance from the very small centre of Bacalar. Right near the free public pier, which I would recommend walking down to for sunrise. One of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
