From kayaking to bird watching, each moment surrounds you with the sound of the jungle and the waves of the lake. Simply a vacation paradise. The property manager is always informative, kind, and available and Chef Pedro is fantastic. We'll be back. ##### Melanie F. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia P. 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay in Paradise! It was a magical house! Everything was beautiful and the outside space was a dream! A rooftop to watch stars and monkeys, a nice large outside patio to eat and watch the lagoon and then a nice outdoor area at the lagoon with lounge chairs, swings and paddleboards and canoes! And the option to have a personal chef come - he was incredible! We will definitely be back! Location was also great! 15 min to Bacalar town center! ##### Claudia P. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael D. 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our initial few days were great. The house has many great places to take in and enjoy the beautiful lagoon. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and using the paddleboards and kayaks. The house couldn't hold up to the weather we experienced. One day during the rain, the kitchen was a quarter-filled with a puddle of water. The next day it rained harder and more water came in. As we were clearing that, the power went off. A nearby line had come down, which clearly wasn't the fault of the property. The generator couldn't handle much draw though. We turned off all the lights and all 5 of us slept in one room with the A/C to minimize power draw. That seemed to work until the generator ran out of fuel in the middle of the night. We left a day early because it seemed the power would be out for awhile. The house manager was excellent before and throughout all this. Very responsive and doing everything he could with the resources at hand. ##### Michael D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie S. 4 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Encanto! My partner and I wanted a quiet week away from the crowds and construction in the busier parts of QRoo. We had never heard of Laguna Bacalar, a water taxi captain in puerto cancun said if he could go anywhere in Mexico he would choose Laguna Bacalar. We found this rental - and while it was quite big for two, it was the perfect escape from the real world. We watched birds all day, snuck down for romantic sunset dips in our private lake and saw one other person all five days - on a boat in the middle of the laguna. The rain at night made it even more magical. We wake up very early and the lack of light pollution allowed us to drink our coffee on the roof and enjoy the stars, then the sunrise. We went in to Bacalar to shop at the market (we speak ok spanish, google translate helped us a lot!) and travelled to the archaeological ruins in Dzimbache where we saw howler monkeys and toucans. I would love to bring a group of people here - it’s just a perfect getaway. Pay close attention, you’ll find art hiding everywhere. Our hosts were in. contact with us whenever we needed something. We can’t wait to return. We did not use the kayaks but we did use the boogie boards. I was very impressed with the quality of the gear for loan - usually you get beat up old gear but everything here is high quality- if you love to SUP or Kayak, this is the place - the lake is glass. The bed was comfy and the linens and towels were lovely. It was very hot in June. ##### Carrie S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ricardo L., San Diego 22 Nov 2016 #### Amazing location! Incredible view and access to the lake, this is a place where you can easily spend a week, but you must remember that you are in a jungle and well it's not all as easy as the Four Seasons. I do highly recommend this property for anyone looking for peace, quiet and privacy. Also, Sally does a fantastic job with all the details, you won't miss a beat if you read instructions! There a few maintenance opportunities and only reason I didn't rate five stars, I am sure soon will be resolved. Btw: All kinds of water toys on the property to enjoy! ##### Ricardo L. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge M. 8 Jul 2016 #### beautiful jewell The house is beautiful and funcional , the owner Sally is kind and always outstanding. The views are amazing to the Bacalar Lake . Miguel the house custodian is very kind to. We enjoyed a beautiful days in Bacalar. The city of Bacalar is beautiful and only 20 minutes of the house.
