    Mosquitoes are a big issue, but going to a jungle hut I guess you just need to be prepared for it. You need to register upfront for the yoga classes or else they are canceled.

    Good place to relax. We even saw some spider monkeys in the trees.

    Keep in mind, that the hotel is a bit apart from Bacalar town and other attractions, so coming here by a car is a good idea. Where are some sunbeds near by the pool, but unfortunately they are not in use (no cushions, stacked in the corner), i think it would be great if guests have opportunity to lie down and relax.

    We hotel itself is beautiful, located in the jungle. Relaxing atmosphere, good breakfast. Nice wide terrace. We booked a sailing boat trip to the lagoon from the hotel and it was perfect. Additionally I enjoyed the yoga class at 8am on the upper deck!

    The parking area is quite steep, we needed a run up with our front wheeled drive. It's a bit buggy, so bring bug spray! I was excited to check out their yoga session but the instructor had called in sick. However, they did not inform us of this even though we inquired about it earlier in the day. It was fine, we just did it ourselves. It has a beautiful view. I can imagine some pretty epic sunsets from there. Only downside is that the water tank is a bit noisy when people are showering? so not sure if they could do anything about it.

    The property was absolutely lovely. It really gave you a sense that you were in a secluded jungle. You hear all the peaceful jungle noises, while feeling safe and sound in your bug screened cabin. Loved the amenities including the pool and fire pit. They share a private pier so you can access the lake. The pier is super cute! It also has a resident cat named Michi! so be sure to give him a pet!

    Leti, the lady at reception was very kind. We had to leave very early in the morning, and she made the exception to prepare breakfast for us before the established time so we could leave on time. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, close to the lagoon, and they offer bikes, kayaks and paddle boards for free. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the Yoga practice because we had to leave very early in the morning. We got recommended a 4-hour tour to Bacalar Lagoon that was the highlight of the stay. Thank you, Leti, for your kindness.

    The hotel is nothing like I expected but in a good way. it’s slap bang in the middle of the jungle, 20 minds drive away from Bacalar, great hide-out away from tourists. Amazing and free yoga classes, gorgeous jungle cabins. lovely swimming pool. Authentic Mexican cooked breakfast

    They don't want you to flush the toilet paper and use the bin to throw the used paper in a small bathroom and there is no air conditioning. Although it was clean, it didn't give us the comfortable feeling.

    Hot water was plentiful and was readily available.

    The hotel is in a beautiful setting. the lagoon is nearby and really quiet. you can hire paddle boards, kayak etc. Comfortable rooms with balcony’s and hammocks. A yoga session is also included in the stay.

    The lagoon area dedicated for the hotel isn't the best with young children, and would recommended to bring shoes to go in the water. We went more towards Bacalar (lot of nice beach clubs easy and fun with kids such as los rapidos...) to enjoy the lagoon which is only 20 min away. The area jungle + lagoon makes it an ideal environment for mosquitos so bring spray or buy some before coming!

    The hotel is very nice in the middle of the palm trees with good size rooms and terrace which was really enjoyable - view on the swimming pool! The staff was lovely, always kind, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast is very good as well as very filling, well prepared and presented thanks to the 2 dedicated cooks 😊! Also the lagoon is at 5 min away cycling (free bikes available at the hotel), walking or driving is possible too.

    The neighbors play music untill late at night and they throw fire crackers around at 4 am and 8 am, which make so much noise that we thought it were gun shots at first.

    It’s a cool setting in the jungle, close to the laguna, only 25 min from Bacalar and the most beautiful part of the laguna. They offer free yoga classes at 7:30 am every morning. Breakfast was great as well. Every room has a terrace with a hammock, we loved to end and start our day there.

    The hotel does not have laguna access. There's a 'beach club' with kayaks etc but it takes 10m or so to walk there. Also there's not a lot of sun on the property, because of all the trees. Breakfast is tasty but it felt a bit cheap. As if they're trying to give you as little as possible. Just 3 tiny slices of apple with the (sightly undercooked) pancakes for example. And no salsa picante with the huevos a la mexicana.

    The hotel looks nice and is surrounded by jungle. The yoga classes are good.

    As it is remote, the town of Bacalar is a 20 minute drive away

    Nice accommodation in the middle of the jungle. Relaxed ambience and very attentive staff. The pool and garden are as beautiful in reality as they are in the pictures. If the sky is clear, the stars are amazing from the roof terrace.

    The road to get to it was in an appalling condition which was not good to get a car down. They also said they had a club you could drive to but we had to turn round as the road was so potted we were worried about the rental car. It also took about 40 minutes to drive to as the road was so bad. That was a pity as getting to the lake is not easy as it is surrounded by privately owned sections. That spoilt the feel of the lake as we never really got to see it. Same applied at bacalar. The hotel is not actually on the lake which I assumed it was from the pictures.

    The place was in a lovely setting which was very peaceful. Loved the fires lit at night which made it very relaxing. Room was good size and staff very friendly.

    They did not serve lunch. When you just wanted to be at the accomodation, you would have to skip lunch or go go Bacalar (26 min ride).

    Absolutely loved it! The place is beautiful and it was a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was Nice and they offered free water and muscito spray!
