Villa Santuario Lake front Oasis

Amazing mattress, steps from the Laguna, very sweet owner, cute palapa

More food variety would be nice

Fantastic wooden house. So pretty and authentic! We felt like camping or safari Mexican jungle safari. In the morning the serene garden and lake front, so peaceful and beautiful that it was hard to leave.

Shower hot water was rather coldish. Smell could be improved. Staff also could not speak loud in the morning so we don’t need to wake up of the noice.

This place is an oasis of tranquility. Great access to the lagoon with a private pier with hammocks and sun loungers. There is free kayaks too. The huts ("cabañas") look great and have a really authentic feel. Decoration in the bedroom is fab. There is mosquito nets to all bedrooms. Windows have no glass, just the mosquito nets and white curtains, but this was not a problem for us. The bed was really comfy. Unfortunately there is no wardrobe or place to hang your clothes but we only stayed one night so not an issue for us. The staff were wonderful and super attentive. They offer free wifi and free parking They offer free breakfast which is coffee, toast and fruit. It was delicious. If you want a bigger breakfast you also have the option to order more food

Please expect that the path to the road is approx 2km of dirt track. We had read this in the reviews and as long as you are prepared it is OK. The owner also sends you detailed instructions before you arrive. As it is so secluded, it is beneficial to use the restaurant there at night. (I wouldnt want to drive the dirt track in the dark!!!! But i guess you could take a taxi). We had burgers in the restaurant and they were really tasty. Cocktails were also great. Restaurant is a little expensive, but no other places around really.

Heaven! This place is so peaceful and beautiful. With only a few guests staying at Villa Santuario we almost felt like we had this magical place to ourselves. There’s literally no sound to be heard besides the sounds from birds, squirrels and the occasional lake sounds. If you’re looking for convenience, plenty of facilities and easy access this place may not be for you. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, nature and a true escape this may very well be the place you’re looking for. We absolutely loved the rustic setting and the lazy days on the lake and it seemed like all guests respected that this was a place for tranquility. Will definitely return if I get the chance.

Food in the restaurant was a bit pricy.

Very peaceful, surrounded by nature and right on the lake with kayaks and paddle boards to use.

The breakfast included is a small plate of fruit and coffee anything more substantial you have to pay for. There are no shuttles so taxis into the centre cost a lot if you go out. The room was nice and comfortable but only had small netting and sheets as curtains so people could see into the room when the lights are on but it does mean that you get beautiful sunshine to wake you up in the morning.

Great cute place to relax, beautiful views and cozy cabins with kayaks and SUP

It is tricky if you don't have a car because it is far away. Expect to pay 250-300 pesos for taxis each way if you want to go to the city for dinner or to visit. The food there is very expensive and ok but not great.

The location was very beautiful, all the surroundings in the villas were well maintained with plants and trees. It is a very calming place, far from Bacalar City, but just in the lake.

Brakefast was very poor, just fruits and coffee. For normal breakfast, we had to pay(an omlete costs more than 10usd). The restaurant is very very overpriced, and the portions are very small, like appetisers. In the end, they overcharged us about 30usd for what we ate at the restaurant. Unfortunately, we checked that after we left. We asked for the bills, but not a single reply received. For our villa, there was no warm water at all, but that was just fine for us.
