Excelente lugar, la limpieza excelente. Está a unos pasos de la laguna Xul-Ha donde los ejidatarios cobran 30 pesos. Vale la pena pagarlos. La atención de Henri excelente, discos preocupado por sus clientes. Muy recomendable!

¡Excelente lugar! Es perfecto como para visitar todos los rinconcitos alrededor de Bacalar. Los cuartos son muy cómodos y funcionales, además de bonitos. Henri es un excelente host, sus recomendaciones son las mejores, está al pendiente todo el tiempo, pero sin ser abrumador, regresaría siempre a este lugar. Indispensable llevar automóvil y víveres. Hay cocineta, mini frigo y afuera hay un asador, ¡Es lo máximo!

Este increíble lugar lleno de vida, es una gran opción económica para quedarse cerca de Bacalar y visitar lo que te ofrece, cuenta con grandes detalles los cuales anexo en las fotos presentes, hay gran biodiversidad incluyendo molestos mosquitos, los cuales aún así no quitan la diversión que se puede obtener cerca, como pequeñas lagunas para visitar con familia y amigos, además a no más de 15 minutos se encuentra el centro, dónde hay tardes restaurantes con buena comida típica del lugar!

Muy lindo lugar, los departamentos son distintos así que depende de que busques para que tengas lo que necesitas. El acceso a la laguna esta muy cerca pero no está al pie. El anfitrión muy atento a las solicitudes y te asesora. Buen lugar para relajarte
