Honestly a beautiful resort, but pool floors definitely need deep cleaning and FUMIGATION of rooms and resort should be a priority as it’s infested with mosquitos and rooms/beds have non stop bugs/pests falling from ceiling. Staff were super courteous and location was extremely convenient. Would be a perfect resort if management considers fumigations.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Hormiga: it's well-located; the room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated; the included breakfast was delicious and plentiful (and served by a great and friendly member of staff); the staff were always attentive to our requests and questions; and the option to swim in the lagoon at the hotel's partner bar, La Playita, between 8am-12pm before other tourists arrived was so incredibly appreciated and made it especially worthwhile. Also: the bakery/cafe opposite, Bamoa, (not affiliated with the hotel) offered some of the best food and drink we had in Bacalar. Recommended.

Beautiful hotel located in a noisy neighborhood. The hotel itself was great with amazing ambiance, room was amazing as well but with barking dogs in close proximity and roosters going off at 5am, don't expect to get much rest at this hotel unfortunately.

Title: A Peaceful Stay with Wonderful Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ We stayed at Casa Hormiga for two days and, overall, had a wonderful experience. The tranquility of the property was one of its most impressive features. It provided the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind, while still being conveniently located near town and many great restaurants. The staff truly stood out during our stay. Everyone was warm, friendly, and attentive to our needs. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. There were a couple of areas that could be improved. On our first day, the pool was noticeably dirty, which was disappointing for our group. Fortunately, it was cleaned the following day, and we were able to enjoy it afterward. We also rented four rooms, and everyone in our party experienced quite a few mosquito bites during our stay. It made us wonder whether the property is regularly fumigated, as this was the one issue that affected all of us. On a positive note, breakfast was excellent. My family especially loved the pancakes, and the presentation of each dish was impressive. The food was both delicious and beautifully plated. Despite the mosquito bites and the pool issue on our first day, our entire group had an amazing time at Casa Hormiga. The peaceful atmosphere, excellent service, delicious breakfast, and ideal location far outweighed the negatives. We left with great memories and would happily return on a future visit.

I loved my stay at Casa Hormiga. Everything was excellent, including the fantastic cocktails from the bar, the delicious food with lots of vegetarian options, the quiet pools and the comfortable room. We were there during a slow month so the hotel wasn't full, which meant we had the pool all to ourselves and it never felt busy at breakfast either. The city is walkable from here but it's not right in the middle of the noisy areas either.

Not only was the property lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were above and beyond kind and helpful. While I was there, I needed medical attention. The staff worked as translators with the hospital, set up taxi rides, and checked in on me frequently. So generous. The pool area is clean and calming. My hammock on the porch, alluring. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot. No complaints at all. Casa Hormiga is quiet and peaceful. It is only a few blocks to the lake or the plaza... very convenient. I'd stay there again any day.
