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.

Beautiful location on the lake. Great included breakfast every morning with our stay. Lovely staff and lovely friendly family vibe. Our glamping hut was cute as well, upscale and very clean and comfortable bed. Very relaxing stay. We had free access to paddle boarding and kayaking which was a lot of fun.

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 is absolutely stunning, with turquoise water right in front of the hotel and a quick kayak to the Emerald cenotes. We loved the free access to the paddle boards and kayaks, the view, the boat trip that we organised (extra) with Manuel and the beautiful hotel and grounds. They also have a lovely shop with beautiful things to buy.
