First we thought they are closed. We came to the main "entrance" from the carretera Cancun - Chetumal and it was closed with heavy old chains. But then a guy from a small tent nearby got up and slowly (mexican style :) went to open it. Then we drove quite a while on the very bumpy road ... thinking this... More

My husband and I arrived in the afternoon after a 5 hour drive from Cancun (granted we stopped for lunch and two rest stops). The highway to Bacalar was excellent, and the entrance is well-marked from the highway. Granted the road into the cabins is not paved, but that is what makes it a get-away from it all. Upon arrival... More

I booked this cabana for my girlfriend and I to spend a weekend alone. We arrived at the gate and had to call a employee to gain entrance. The road in was a bit rough, but I'm used to that. The grounds are beautiful and well kept, full of trees and flowering vines. We were the first to arrive for... More

We stayed at Kuuch Kaanil one night when we could not get into Rancho Encantado, out first choice. Kuuch Kaanil was a very nice propery, with the best over the water palapa around, with hammocks and places to sit around tables. The rooms are large and the outdoor bathroom / shower is a treat. But the room is sparse, with... More

I'm pleased that I stayed here for one night "for the experience"; but glad I didn't book for any longer. It's a beautiful setting but unless you really don't mind bugs, it won't be for you. You really need some Spanish too. Plus side - beautiful setting alongside a lagoon -great food -good service Minus side - the approach road... More

Last weekend I went with my friend to Bacalar, we were planning on staying in town but couldn´t find anything what suited us. Back on the highway we saw the sign of Kuuch Kaanil, and thought to give it a try. The road to get there is not very inviting, and we were sure we wouldn´t arrive anywhere, but since... More

We drove upon Lake Bacalar by accident and it was such an amazing suprise. The lake is the most beautiful color and in contrast to every other lake I have been on it was completely quiet. We instantly fell in love with this little piece of heaven. However, lodging in the town was rather difficult to secure and we became... More

We didn't quite know what to expect as we turned off the main highway and drove the narrow, pot holed dirt road toward the lake. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw the very pretty wooden bungalows, lovely landscaping and brilliant views over Lake Bacalar. The bungalows are simple, with comfy beds (with mosquito netting) and extremely clean. The attached... More
