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!!!

Rooms are clean and nice, in hotel amenities it is great with the exception of a restaurant as the bar only serves breakfast so we were on our own for dinner, It’s a nice property.

Nice place to stay not far from city center
La Galuna has been a good choice for us in Bacalar. There is good value in the price for nice room, nice pool, very polite staff and good breakfast. Location was also good, but still not in the city center. Parking places are monitored by camera,

Towels like sandpaper, sheets were badly worn. There isn’t a restaurant and the man at the front desk couldn’t have been bothered by us. We left a day early without a refund. It was like paying to not have to stay.

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

Misleading... do not go there!
Do not go in this hotel! Supposedly a 4,5 star hotel...well, it’s not! The pictures are really misleading, as they depict only the views from 1 or 2 rooms. Don’t expect facilities like a 4 or 5 star hotel. It’s like 2 apartment building facing the lake. Our room has a great view on the lake but the jacuzzi was disappointing. We always had to add hot water through a faucet because it doesn’t have a water heating system like you could expect. I’m not even talking about the “restaurant” (basically 4 tables outside and no staff to take your order or even take back the plates and dishes of what seemed to be the leftovers of the night before). Then, we’ve been refused an early check in (and I’m talking here of 2:30pm instead of 3pm) Whereas my wife is pregnant and needed to lie down! It was enough, we decided to cancel our second night and ask for a refund. We’ve been told it was not their decision but hotel.com, so we called them to make that happen. But hotel.com process requires to check with the hotel first, and when they tried, the hotel refused to take the call because supposedly they don’t speak English!(Well, I’ve seen their answers on trip advisor and I confirm that they do speak English). Anyway, at the end, the hotel was lying to us saying it was hotel.com decision when it was actually their call and they obviously, they refused to refund us the room... So please don’t go there. I recommend instead the rancho encanto, just 5mn drive from this one.
