El Secreto Hotel Bacalar Lakefront

I can see why they have changed their name. Check out the Google reviews. I should have listened to the reviews that said they were worth 1 star. If I had such a bad reputation, I would have changed my name too. These people con you into thinking the hotel is in Bacalar. THIS HOTEL IS NOT IN BACALAR. They just call it that to trick you into thinking it is. It is in a totally different town. When I brought this to their attention and asked to change the date, they wouldn't budge, even after I explained to them that my elderly parents wouldn't be okay with traveling that much further. They kept my money, and wouldn't even change the date so that I could go with boyfriend at a later time so I wouldn't lose my money. I can see why on GOOGLE they have 1 STAR.

Nice and charming little hotel in the middle of nowwhere ;-) Do check the description when booking as you can easily get lost . Situated on the Lake you can also use their paddelboat. Rooms big enough and beds very comfy. Breakfast in price included, nevertheless situation a bit chaotic, at the end you have to wash your own dishes ;-))

Villa Sunrise is a very lovely place. The hotel is lacated right next to the lagoon which is wonderful. We really enjoyed the time spend here. The staff is very friendly. The Roms are clean and the bed is very big. We would visit another time again.

It's a lovely quiet location on the lake with stunning views, though it is 15 minute drive to bacalar itself. My room was very comfortable, huge bed and a nice sized room. It's also very quiet which is great. However, the hot water was very patchy, usually barely warm enough. And secondly, the breakfast it's truly terrible. The fruit selection, oranges or rock hard star fruit. The hot breakfast, cold completely overcooked scrambled eggs with off bits of veggies in, and some cold black beans. Toast but no butter or margarine. No fresh juice, just squash. We're in the tropics guys, there's beautiful fruit everywhere, stop being so mean at at least get some bananas, papaya etc. Who wants dried out eggs on dry toast and a whole orange for breakfast? At least the coffee was good.

This place was beautiful I wish we could’ve stayed longer! The room is comfortable with an incredible view of the lake snorkeling and kayaking was fun. The shared kitchen is great looks like there is everything you would need to make whatever you would like. Charcoal Barbecue grill down by the water with chairs and tables to enjoy your meal. I would definitely stay here again. But my favorite part of all was the four month old yellow lab pup.
