Hotel CasaBakal - A pie de Laguna - Bacalar

The breakfast was great. The kayaks were comfortable and easy to use. The staff was super helpful. The grounds were perfect for just”chilling”!

Wow. We will remember CasaBakal for a very long time! It's an absolutely beautiful slice of paradise. Here's what we loved: 1. The staff - everyone is just lovely. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive; they all seem to be having a good time themselves and that makes for a really comfortable experience. Whatever you need is sorted, from drinks to paddle boards and sailing trips. Every staff member was super nice and thoughtful. They keep it vibey too, with soft Mali music playing during the day round the pool. 2. The location - jumping off the jetty into the crystal clear turquoise water just steps from your room is an amazing experience. The location is perfect, the lake is right there and it's only a 5m taxi ride into the centre for restaurants etc. 3. The food - a great buffet breakfast included every morning with fruit, cheese, toast, yoghurt, eggs, pancakes... The full works! And then delicious options at lunch and dinner too - we are a family of 5 with 3 fussy teenagers and they wanted to eat here all the time. 4. The sailing trip - there is a sail team on site who can take you out on the boat to explore the lake. It's a 3 hour trip and we had three swim breaks. Just lush. Be warned though - you cannot use sunscreen once on the lake (to protect the water) so be sure to cover up.

Really good location-10 mins from bus station by taxi, a bit far to walk to all the restaurants but there was a restaurant right next to our hotel. Good room size, good size bed, comfortable cushions. Really good breakfast, so many choices , very tasty! Free use of kayaks and paddling boards. Cherry on top- beautiful lagoon! In fact, one of the best in Bacalar.

Breakfast was incredible and very very large. Location was stunning, right on the lagoon but with grass area and pool and lots of space and privacy in the rooms. Great for our young kids. Free kayak and SUP usage also perfect and very professionally run. All the food we had was delicious and great cocktails. Also had one of the best massages ever! highly recommend.

The location was amazing - the pool, the lagoon and hiring kayaks were the highlights for us. The restaurant served delicious, healthy food (yummy tacos, salads) and great cocktails/ smoothies. It had some great options for kids too (pasta, veg sticks). The breakfast changed daily but had a good choice of Mexican and western foods. The staff were helpful recommending local restaurants and trips.
