I loved my stay here. It is a lovely hotel, nice view to lo the lagoon. Nice pool and restaurant by the lagoon. The service was really friendly. We used the kayaks and had a lovely stay there. I higly recommend it. Surely will stay again in the future

Do yourself a favor and skip this hotel. I tried many times to call and no one ever answers. I had issues with my reservations and was not able to contact anyone. They charged me full stay even though I never stayed. When I spoke to Experian they were no help either. They opened a case and also tried to contact the Hotel and did not get a reply. Since they could not get a reply within 72 hours they closed the case and I was out more than $500.00
Terrible customer service and thieves.

The hotel has charming rooms with an island vibe and is located next to the Bacalar Lagoon. However, the positives end there. The staff don’t speak English, which is common in Bacalar, but they also don't use body language to communicate. There are plenty of staff, but the management is poor—you can wait over 45 minutes to pay your bill, as they don’t charge to your room. You must pay on the spot, causing long waits. Our room included two free drinks, but we were charged every time we ordered. Even when reminded of the free drinks, they still charged us and took an additional 20 minutes to correct the bill.
The hotel claims to have a restaurant, but it’s just a bar by the bay and a separate food service above reception. We had two adults and two kids, but only received two towels daily, requiring us to wait 20 minutes for more after water activities. Toilet paper wasn’t restocked; we had to ask for it. Water, coffee, and disposable cups weren’t provided unless requested every day. Service was extremely slow. Management was nonexistent, and staff didn’t greet guests.
On a rainy day, the area flooded, trapping us in our room. We had to pay before eating and had to repeatedly remind them about our payment method. Shampoo bottles were never replaced unless completely empty. The staff were unwelcoming,especially at reception, they never smiled or greeted the guests. Despite tipping cleaning lady daily, essential items were always missed.Don’t waste beautiful Bacalar in there.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Carolina Bacalar. We could not have wished for a more beautiful hotel in a beautiful place like Bacalar. Both the lake and the hotel , wich is directly on the lake shore, are worth the trip south. The pictures of Hotel Carolina Bacalar exeed the expectations. The bearkfast options, food drinks and service are great too. The pool might come across a bit small but the lake fully compensates for this. We only spend 2 nights in Bacalar, I wish we would have stayed a day or two longer in Bacalar and Hotel Carolina. The only point of attation we have is the showerhead.

This is the second time that I have stayed in the Carolina hotel. I brought my husband and sister-in-law to see it because I knew my description could not do justice to it as much as actually experiencing being at the Carolina hotel It's absolutely beautiful.

Really pleasant hotel on a prime location on the lake with kayaks and paddle boards available to guests which is key. Staff are also very pleasant and helpful.

Even though on the water, it is a nice part and it is the very soft muddy smelly soil. Also not value for money at all. Breakfast is stingy. You get either a coffee or a juice (and terrible at that). We stayed in a more expensive hotel 2 nights prior (£50 more a night but beautiful and impeccable service) and by the time you spend extra on breakfast it is the same price! I only didn’t cancel Carolina due to the waterfront! What a mistake! Not worth staying there. Spend your money on a better hotel. You will be going to ‘beach clubs’, restaurants on the water front anyway so….. the only saving grace was the lovely young lady who checked us in and that the rooms were clean.

It has a really nice lake front hotel, small that the amenities felt private. The only thing was the shower heads needed to be updated water was coming out in different directions but overall loved the place and would definitely would go back.

Fuimos mi esposo y yo en diciembre, nos quedamos dos noches, el hotel es bonito, los cuartos son comodos y muy agradables, la laguna esta justo en frente del hotel así que puedes bajar a nadar cuando desees. El desayuno es continental, muy rico el pan que sirven. El pueblo esta como a 20 minutos caminando. Muy recomendado.

Excelente place to stay in Bacalar. Clean and the staff very attentive. It was during low season. So not a lot of guesses in the hotel. The pool was under renovation but we reían upgrade to American breakfast instead of continental. Food at the hotel was delicious

My husband and I came to have small weekend trip here, the first thing we didnt like is that when we got to our room we didnt have any towels, so since they dont have phones we had to go to reception for them, we asked for a second face towel and they wouldnt give us another one, they said is because of hotel's policies, then the fridge was disconnected and the coffee machine in the room didnt work. The room was ok but the tv signal was horrible. The laguna part the have is not a nice color, you can find a better part of the laguna for this same price or cheaper, we got 2 kayaks for free and the color came out so damaged my swimsuit and now it has a blue mark I cannot remove. The breakfast next day is literally llittle bit of fruit not the best, a regular coffee or juice and 2 pieces of bread, I think for the price the could do better. They have a menu so we order some pancakes and of course they werent good at all. We got a tour in a boat that was amazing but this company is separated, we were little bit late and the tour guy waited for us, the receptionist said they couldnt wait for us without even asking first, and yes they tour guy waited without any problem. Finally, when we were leaving we realized that in the parking in front of the hotel someone hit our rental car, we know that it didnt have this because we have a video and that was the first day, so it had to be there and they said they will check their cameras, now it has been a week and nothing.

The hotel it’s stuffed by young people that does not understand the concept of “customer service.” Whenever I asked for anything the answer was “I don’t know what to tell you” or “go ask at the reception.”
They were really good at gathering at one of the picnic tables and chat and spend time on their phones.

This is a pretty hotel with a nice pool. It also has access to the largo. Unfortunately the rooms are packed into the space. No view and little privacy. The staff was very disappointing. Immediately they tried to sell us on excursions. They had no pool towels and refused to find any for us. It was suggested that we take the ones from our room but they didn’t know when they would be replaced. Eventually we went to the front desk and asked them for towels. I would not stay here again.
