Hotel Buenavista Bacalar Jungle Experience

A nice quiet place in the middle of the jungle

Great location in the forest close to the lake. Room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Staff is very kind and available. They don't speak English, but they do their best to communicate, so definitely this is not an issue.

Mosquitoes 🙂

The hotel is in a beautiful setting. the lagoon is nearby and really quiet. you can hire paddle boards, kayak etc. Comfortable rooms with balcony’s and hammocks. A yoga session is also included in the stay.

There is food available on site but the menu could have more variety and more fruits, vegetables, Smoothies.

The hotel is very nice in the middle of the palm trees with good size rooms and terrace which was really enjoyable - view on the swimming pool! The staff was lovely, always kind, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast is very good as well as very filling, well prepared and presented thanks to the 2 dedicated cooks 😊! Also the lagoon is at 5 min away cycling (free bikes available at the hotel), walking or driving is possible too.

The lagoon area dedicated for the hotel isn't the best with young children, and would recommended to bring shoes to go in the water. We went more towards Bacalar (lot of nice beach clubs easy and fun with kids such as los rapidos...) to enjoy the lagoon which is only 20 min away. The area jungle + lagoon makes it an ideal environment for mosquitos so bring spray or buy some before coming!

It’s a cool setting in the jungle, close to the laguna, only 25 min from Bacalar and the most beautiful part of the laguna. They offer free yoga classes at 7:30 am every morning. Breakfast was great as well. Every room has a terrace with a hammock, we loved to end and start our day there.

The neighbors play music untill late at night and they throw fire crackers around at 4 am and 8 am, which make so much noise that we thought it were gun shots at first.

The hotel looks nice and is surrounded by jungle. The yoga classes are good.

The hotel does not have laguna access. There's a 'beach club' with kayaks etc but it takes 10m or so to walk there. Also there's not a lot of sun on the property, because of all the trees. Breakfast is tasty but it felt a bit cheap. As if they're trying to give you as little as possible. Just 3 tiny slices of apple with the (sightly undercooked) pancakes for example. And no salsa picante with the huevos a la mexicana.
