A Experience at Cristalino – The Best Hotel in Bacalar! Cristalino exceeded all my expectations! From the moment we arrived, the customer service at check-in and in the restaurant was outstanding. The hotel is safe, quiet, and incredibly relaxing, making it the perfect getaway. The rooms were comfortable, the food was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was just what we were looking for. One of the highlights was the easy access to the water—you can literally walk in and reach a boat tour hotspot. Plus, they provide kayaks, which made exploring the lagoon even more enjoyable. We didn’t know it at first, but this property actually sits on one of the seven cenotes in the Bacalar Lagoon, which made our stay even more special. The location is also ideal—just a short 5-minute drive to the center of Bacalar, where you’ll find great restaurants and shopping. I was told multiple times that this is the best hotel in Bacalar, and they absolutely delivered. I will definitely be returning!

We asked for a kayak and never was it provided. They also booked us in the wrong sailing tour.

The staff were so kind and professional and went out of their way to make my stay more comfortable. Thank you, Viridiana and Betxabe! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend to all. If you can stay on a Wednesday, when lake activities pause for the day, it is SO peaceful and serene at Cristalino. The room was so comfortable and I enjoyed the local aromatherapy toiletries. My only recommendation would be to add slippers in the room. I won’t hesitate to book at Cristalino the next time I am in Bacalar.

This is one of the nicest small hotels we haved stayed at. The swimming in the lagoon was spectacular. The pool was refreshing. The food was very good. The staff throughout the whole hotel was excellent. There is a coffee maker in the room BUT they charge for the coffee pods. The only thing I would request is that the coffee is included in the price of the room. If you are looking for the best hotel on Lake Bacalar, look no further.

Christino Lagoon hotel is a wonderful hotel on an amazingly beautiful Lagoona. Netsed in tropicla vegetation the hotel provides a relaxed superior accomodation. It is a 30 min walk from town but I loved the secultion. The restaurant on site serves delicious food . it is a bit expansive but again the view while you eat is special. The staff is very sweet friendly and extremely accomodating. I must come back!

Great find in Bacalar

Beautiful new (one year old) hotel. Many other waterfront hotels are not aging well. Well maintained. Helpful friendly staff. Room service by request or towel renewal only by request. Excellent AC but need to request day/night changes. Lots of lounges around two pools and docks over water. Good restaurant but music was very loud for dinner ambience. 30 minute walk or inexpensive taxi to town center. SUGGESTION: need a water refill unit (at reception) to reduce plastic bottle usage.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. Peaceful, wonderful service, and dock access to the lake with comfortable chairs. The restaurant was wonderful and all the staff were lovely. Bonus is that the hotel lets your borrow kayaks and paddle boards!

We had a nice experience at the hotel. The views are fantastic and there were activities available. Any issues were dealt with professionally. The only issue, and its one to keep in mind, is during high season the lagoon is closed every Wednesday. The only activity allowed is swimming so no kayaks, SUP's or boat tours. This fact was not communicated by hotel staff so it forced us to stay an extra night at more cost.
