Great place to stay!! Friendly staff, rooms were bigger than we thought they would be and super clean. We went on a family trip, 10 of us between adults and kids, felt safe at all times. After the lake we walked to the centro from the hotel at night,there was a night market with all types of food and goodies. Families, couples, groups of friends and some by people by themselves, we were all enjoying the great atmosphere, lots of fun!!!

No leave to park. It's under construction or remodeling the property. Goes service when i arrive was not good. That night when i was went to take a shower i was using the sopa that is in a container in the wall. Smell was horrible. Rotten. Something was put inside. To make a long history short went and complain to the front desk and ask they sY was sorry. Didn't care to much. The hotel was cute , but will never stay again. Not happy with the service. Really disappointed

Great stay

Hotel was very lovely . About a mile or so from all the restaurants. Barcalar is a beautiful city however there are lot of homeless dogs in the area . So lots of barking but that’s not the hotels fault . I can sleep thur it but just want to make people aware . They cleaned our room everyday which we where not expecting but it was great . Had a balcony which was nice when it rained we could outside and enjoyed a drink . Would definitely recommend for a budget friendly stay .

Nice quiet stay

For the price I paid the accommodations were ok I think for a little more money I could have gotten nicer. It’s small and quiet which was nice. I never saw anyone tending the bar but sure when it’s open. WiFi was spotty occasionally but overall good. The power went out the first morning so also meant no water. Two bottles of water were in the room upon my arrival but were never restocked. The staff was friendly and communicated well. Close to many tours 13 min walk to city center no need for taxi or driving the location is great. I felt safe walking at night even at 1a

The floor in our room has chipped and had repaired and unrepaired holes throughout. The vanish on the front building stones was so strong smelling it was hard to take. The walls are paper thin, we could here everything outside and the pool water was sadly too cloudy to want to get into.

Nous avons passé un bon séjour à la Galuna Bacalar mais l’hôtel manque un peu d entretien, il ne manque pas grand chose pour que ce soit top ! Nous garderons un bon souvenir de cet endroit car il nous a permis de bien rayonner à pied

Great property, most of the staff were super kind and helpful and the breakfasts were amazing! The only thing that bothered me were the guests at 7am in the pool screaming and wilding out and then again until 10:30pm when we were told that noisy times were between 9am -9pm. My husband is Mexican, I speak Spanish very well and the ladies at breakfast weren’t nice to me and making remarks thinking I didn’t understand the first morning so I sent my husband for the next days. Overall it’s a great space, great location and we had a private space with a jacuzzi that made the experience even better.
