“We had a good time!”

There was only one other couple, so we had such a relaxing time. It is a nice place to chill and relax :) Facilities were okay, price is quite expensive for what you get.

“A beautiful setting makes up for a few glitches”

The lake at Bacalar is one of the glories of Yucatán, and the number of places to stay has rocketed in the last few years. The Aurea is one of many small hotel-cabaña clusters along the lake shore north of the town, and has a particularly great dock out into the lake, with loungers and a great big two-story palapa hut at the end – with a hammock hanging over the water, wonderful for swinging idly for a while and then falling straight out for a swim! There are free kayaks for exploring the shore and they offer a good range of lake trips. Our palm-roofed room was nicely arranged and comfortable, with a little terrace in front. All the staff were charming and helpful, especially Domingo with the kayaks, and the food for breakfast and dinner – Mexican/Yucatecan with a ew international favourites – is varied and enjoyable. The wifi worked too, which we wouldn't have expected a few years ago in Bacalar!

Location is great. Very secluded and quiet with water access and 10min into town. The jetty out onto the lagoon is the highlight. They also have kayaks for you to use. Staff were super friendly. We would absolutely stay again.

“There's room for improvement to be a boutique hotel”

The location of this place is fantastic, especially the area around the water and the pier. The sun chairs are very comfy and the water is nice to swim. we could even see a crocodile sunbath in the morning! The rooms look like on the pictures. The shower is very instagramable but honestly not most comfortable one as there is no other shower head than the shell (my husband also had some hygiene concerns about the water that keeps standing in the shell). It's a question of taste though, it worked fine. We had warm water any time. We also really liked that a whole jar of water was provided in the room to refill your bottles. And a big plus point is that you can take the kayaks for free at any time and paddle around the lagoon. Also, we appreciated receiving detailed instructions about how to reach the property ahead of time via whats app. contrary to other reviews, we didn't think the road was a big problem even with a small basic car. just need to go slowly and carefully. what made no sense is sending a QR code via whatsapp. I couldn't open that until now as i cannot scan it since it is on my phone and i have no second phone to scan the code. a link would have been way more useful.

“A stay in heaven”

Its really a beautiful property. Calm and quiet. Beds are comfortable and everything you need is present in the rooms&hotel. Terrace by the sea is out of this world. Restaurant has not amazing food but decent with a good price. Wifi is really good. I would book it again in a heartbeat. Staff mostly doesn’t speak english but they are so nice and always smiling, trying their best to communicate.

“A restful place to enjoy Bacalar”

A quiet place to enjoy the lagune life! Free canoes to be visit the area and see sunset and sunrise. A lot of places to chill and read a good book!

The room was nice, clean with attention to detail and the open shower was gorgeous The Hotel is in a nice location right on the lake. It’s a bit far from the town but doable with a car.

“Beautiful, relaxing stay”

Beautiful, peaceful stay in Bacalar. You are a little bit out of the town but this means you get a nice quiet spot with beautiful views. The room was lovely and spacious with good facilities and a lovely outside shell shower. The terrace at the end of the pier is an absolute gem and we spent each evening watching the stars. Lovely swings and hammocks in the beautiful clear water too (though the water can get quite choppy in the afternoons!).

“The best place we stayed whilst travelling in Mexico”

Everything about this place was perfect. I remember reading reviews from other guests telling how they kept extending the stay and same happened to us. The pictures on booking.com don't do the justice. This place looks so much more better in real life. The bungalow was super clean and it had everything we could possibly needed for our stay. Little kitchen with fridge was a bonus for cooking our own food. We loved the bathroom especially the shower with a shell instead of usual shower head. Waking up in the morning whilst hearing so many beautiful birds outside was something else! The hotel provides paddle boards, kayaks and life vests for free. There is also a restaurant on site which offers beers, cocktails, snacks and main dishes. You can get here nachos, hot dogs, pizzas and pastas for surpisingly good prices. The breakfast was included in the price, they offered a variety of different options such as avocado toast, omelettes, pancakes, fruits etc and whatever we tried it was so nice. In addition to it all, the staff members there are amazing!There was an english speaking couple who were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The gentleman in the reception was super helpful. I have no idea how could anyone find anything negative to say about this place!

“Good place in the jungle!”

Very relaxing place, in the jungle. They have very good kitchen so that You cab have all Your meals in hotel.

“5 stars!”

It was beautiful and quiet. The food was great and it was excellent value for what I paid.

“perfect experience to be in close with the Laguna”

the Laguna was beautiful and easily accessible from the hotel.

“Being in paradise”

Amazing, cozy hotel right by the lake. We felt like being in paradise. It is a very calm and relaxing place. Must stay when you are in Bacalar!

the property is beautiful and has a historic vibe, well kept and arranged. its secluded spot gives its charm if you want to hide a bit. the staff is very nice and kind, there are many places to sit next to the water, kayaks are available or hammocks and swing in the water. it was one of a kind experience the interiors of the hut and showering under the sky was such a bonus

“Relaxing getaway”

We loved everything! Beautiful place, friendly staff, good breakfast, free kayaks, comfortable room, very clean. We had the studio, which has a kitchenette, fridge, etc. The location was quiet and away from the town, which is what we wanted. A car is recommended.
