Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Buenavista Bacalar Jungle Experience

Remote and quiet. Food is great

The place location was misleading is not in Bacalar this is far from it. There was no water and the kitchen ran out of gas for breakfast. No help with the unbearable Moskito’s , really negative experience

Ok

Hidden it was hard to find

Nice place and perfect to enjoy the nature of lake Bacalar

Hôtellerie dans la jungle accessible par petite route en terre et pierres. Gps impératif pour trouver car il n y a pas de panneaux de indiquant le nom des rues.

It is into the woods which is charming, but the road to get there is scary. Go there with your 4x4.

The pool was not clean overpriced for what it is. Staff was Great!

Very beautiful to be with nature, with excellent breakfast and nice scenery. To get to this place is a little bit off the grid, with unpaved roads to get there.

this hotel is very nice if you want to do a Camping kind of trip, is a very relaxing getaway in the middle of nowhere, with a delicious breakfast, a camp fire at night and great yoga class in the morning. this was something I was looking for in my trip but not sure if it is for everyone.

the hotel is gorgeous, the staff very attentive and I had a great time. Rooms are beautiful and are well built to the point you won't even miss aircon it's super breezy with nets for mosquitos and spacious. Internet was working better than many places I did stay in Bacalar, fast and working in the room.

Nice quiet place

I’m really glad we made a trip down to Bacalar lagoon and Buenavista during our 2 week trip to Mexico. It was great to be somewhere less touristy and developed than Tulum up the coast. The hotel is pretty remote, we had to get the bus to Bacalar and then a taxi. A car would have been better. Buenavista itself is a sleepy, authentic village. Don’t expect loads of eating options, you’re very limited but there are a couple of very local places (in houses) where you can eat. The food at the hotel is pretty bland but fine. The lagoon is beautiful and there’s easy access to it from the hotel. Rooftop yoga in the morning overlooking the jungle was a really nice added benefit. The rooms are rustic, and the bathrooms basic, and the area has a lot of mosquitoes. Overall a great place to spend a couple of days doing nothing, relaxing, reading, swimming.

Excelente hotel, un poco complicado para entrar pero el hotel excelente

EXCEPTIONAL

After reading some negative reviews I still took the chance on this property and was so glad I did. It was exactly what the Doctor ordered: Quiet, serene, eco-friendly and the swim in lagoon was awesome followed by a nice dinner and a relaxing night. The staff including the Manager were Great. Caveat: This property is in Buena Vista which is in the state of Bacalar; but is not in Bacalar. It is almost 20 miles away from actual Bacalar, Bacalar.

This hotel is not in Bacalar town, is 20 min away, in the middle of no where, there is no restaurants, or anything around, the food in the hotel restaurant is expensive and is very very bad, the property is nice but so many mosquitos you cant be out side! The taxy from Bacalar to this hotel cost 300 pesos every time! So is inconvenient place, plus no air conditioner, the mosquitos at night will eat you! The staff is the only good thing! And the lagoon is 7 min walking, but the Lagoon in Bacalar is prettier.

This is a hidden gem with a relaxing environment. Excellent customer service and outstanding breakfast (international cook). We were delighted to participate in a free yoga class and have access to the club house where we kayaked the lagoon. All for free or part of the amenities. It is worth every penny.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU DO! This property is a total rip off. Do not stay here you will be disappointed. NO WATER ON PROPERTY, NO AIR CONDITIONING, NO TELEVISION, IN MIDDLE OF NO WHERE, STAY AWAY, CON ARTISTS.....I went there for 10 minutes and after getting lost because the directions were off the grid. It is not even in Bacalar. The management and owner are complete false advertisers. It is not on the water, Property has no luxuries, it is 30 minutes from Bacalar and is very hard to find. They stole my money as I was there for 10 minutes and they refused to give me my money back. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! IT IS A RIP OFF AND THEY ARE RUTHLESS ABOUT IT!

This property is a lie . It’s not in bacalar it is in Buenavista . It’s a away from all the fine restaurants and fun activity from bacalar. Transportation is a huge issue and we’re charged to go back in forth $ 15 each trip . I don’t recommend no one to come here if it’s your first time here . It’s a waist and time consuming
