Khaban Bacalar Hotel Boutique

We had a fantastic time. Location next to the lake was great. The resort is beautiful with jungle foliage, large trees and great lighting at night. Balconies are lovely with hammocks. Rooms are excellent and beautifully decorated. Very quiet and relaxing. Breakfast was fantastic and very filling with fruit and granola to start and then a main dish. It was delicious. Bacalar is a great little place. Some fantastic restaurants on the front including La Playita, Mi Burrito van and Punta Corcho Bacalar. We had a tour to Becan Temple which was unbelievable and booked on Viator (TripAdvisor) and the tour guide Vlad was so lovely. You can climb the temple so it was the highlight of the holiday. Also, the boat tour on the lagoon was amazing by Day Tours which I recommended and very reasonable in price.

Excellent location, need a car or taxi to bring you in. The dirt road is perfectly fine for a sedan that we rented but make sure you use the road that they specify on their communications, the other roads are a bit rough. The hotel Facilities were extremely nice. No bed bugs like other reviews have mentioned but bear in mind that this is a tropical destination so you will find a lot of mosquitoes, bugs lizars and even an opossum if you leave food outside the room(but this is all part of the charm when you visit a tropical place like this so do not whine about local fauna. The room was perfect size and we got offered a crib for our baby girl. Note that they do not offer them when you come in as they are transition to an Adults only hotel. The pool was perfect, nice and cold to beat the heat. The access to the lagoon is top notch. By wife, baby and myself spent a whole day in the pier bungalow and it was pure bliss. The free kayaks are a great add in and we used them every day we were there. The service was excellent from everyone. Giovanny was a bit funky but he was a great guy and very accoommodating to everything in the restaurant.

The property was beautiful, the staff in the restaurant were absolutely amazing! And the food was absolutely superb! It was never too busy apart from in the restaurant late in the evening. Kayaking was included which was lots of fun. Room was very large and had great facilities. Very quiet and relaxed. We had an lake view room which was absolutely amazing!! Lots of space to relax on the balcony.

The restaurant. The food is delicious.

Breakfast was very nice. Lovely setting. One of the nicest hotel rooms I have stayed in, with a most spectactular view from the balcony. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows were divine. Air con worked well, very good shower and huge bathroom/dressing area. Accommodation could not be faulted.
