4.71234 reviewsWhat an incredible experience. Out family of four enjoyed our stay. The tour of the lagoon was a real high-light for us. Captain Abel was a fanatic guide providing us history and explanations. His passion for the Bacalar lagoon shows. The restaurant has great service. Francisco was especially kind to the children. My wife enjoyed the massage and the kids loved the swimming.
Rancho Encantado was a great pick for our first time staying in Bacalar. The rooms were spacious and the air conditioning worked great and the bed was so comfortable. We relaxed but also swam in the lagoon and kayaked. The food at the restaurant was ok even tho the service was excellent.
I really lovely hotel that I already visited twice. Wonderful, big rooms. Fantastic location at the lagoon, great for swimming, kayaking, boat trips. The hotel offers quite a lot of infrastructure. Staff is very friendly and nice. I went for many swims here, which I greatly enjoyed. For better prices and more things included, book directly on their website - it's in most cases the better deal. Breakfast was good, too. I ate most meals at their restaurant and it was generally good and fairly priced. However, the menu could be a bit more varied and presentation of the dishes a bit more advance…
Planning your trip to Bacalar
Everything in Bacalar orbits the seven-colour lagoon, and the key question is how close to the water you sleep. The lagoon-front hotels — along the Costera avenue, south of the fort — charge for their private docks: waking up and swimming in turquoise water is precisely what you pay for. The centre, by the San Felipe fort and the plaza, drops the price and keeps the lagoon a few minutes' walk away. Out by the federal highway sit the cheapest beds. Our 2026 scans logged 34 hotels with a real price: from US$27 a night and a typical rate of about US$114 — the private dock explains the spread. Honestly: Bacalar is a town, not a resort — quiet nights, cash first — and the lagoon is a fragile ecosystem: the stromatolites that make it unique survive neither sunscreen nor footsteps.
