​I stayed in Carolina for 6 days and we absolutely loved it! The staff was so nice, the dining area was incredible, and the waiters went above and beyond—they definitely deserve a raise! I traveled with three kids (ages 9, 6, and 2), and the water was perfect for them since it was very shallow. My husband had to work during our stay, but the staff also went above and beyond by setting up a large table for his computer to make his workspace much more comfortable. Additionally, tour bookings are right next door, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

CHECK IN: We called the hotel a day prior to our arrival and said that we were coming for a brief one night stay and needed to leave early. Requested an early check in. They promised to do their best to accommodate us. Room was not ready until 4:00 PM, an hour AFTER check in time. HOTELS.COM “special goodies” was a blah glass of juice. ROOM: we paid for the most expensive “Lagoon View Suite” only to be housed adjacent to the bar - listening to the bar staff all evening - while having absolutely no view. SERVICE: Staff was friendly but essentially “just doing their job” attitude. HOTEL LOCATION is right adjacent to a noisy beach-club robbing any serenity and romance from the idyllic deck photographs in the promo of the hotel. RATE IS HIGH for what you get.

Staff were amazing and super helpful with providing activities at the hotel as well as helping book activities like a sailing tour. Rooms are super unique and comfortable, loved the shower. I wanted a small hotel with a dock access on the water, FREE water sports, parking, and close proximity to Bacalars downtown area, Hotel Carolina check all those boxes for an amazing price. The treehouse style rooms are so unique. I couldnt have asked for a better stay.

Hotel Carolina truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff—from the front desk to housekeeping and the restaurant team—was welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help, including organizing our taxi with ease. The property itself is beautiful, with an incredible lagoon view that made our stay even more special.
The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. We especially loved the complimentary use of kayaks and paddleboards, which allowed us to fully enjoy the peaceful lagoon. The location is also ideal: about a 20-minute walk to town and roughly 40 minutes from the airport, offering the perfect balance between convenience and tranquility.
Overall, this hotel delivered more than we expected, and we would absolutely stay here again. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

I would not recommend this place. It is expensive and their internit does not work, the AC wasn’t working. They sent a really nice guy to try to fix it until 9:00pm. Has to move the bed because the AC was dripping pretty bad.
Not worth for the value!!! Only one breakfast option.

From the moment we walked in we felt the calmness and beauty of Hotel Carolina. We felt so welcomed. I spent HOURS researching the best hotel in Bacalar, and this was absolutely perfect! Beautiful rooms and grounds. My young boys (6 and 8) loved the pool and the warm lagoon waters. Breakfast was stunning sitting on the deck. We enjoyed sitting in the sun looking over the waters on the pier/beach chairs, and the swings in the water make for perfect pictures. Kayaks were available for adventures (close to a cenote for exploring!). We would love to stay again.

Hotel Carolina ..... Wish we didn't have to leave.
If you're looking for accommodations close central and on the water this is your place !
A boutique style resort with amazing staff! From the moment we stepped onto the grounds you could tell the staff enjoyed their jobs and took great pride in what the hotel has to offer their guests. The staffs attention to detail ensuring customers needs were met was truly appreciated!
Shout out to Juan !! There is an onsite bar and restaurant with very reasonable prices! Don't forget to make use of the complimentary kayaks and paddle boards that are available for their guests. When we return to Bacalar, Carolina will be at the top of our list to say at.

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.

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

Amazing hotel everything was super . I have only some requests to raise the hotel at the heaven . I wish i had one small fridge and a room with a King bed and a couch bed for kid. Double size bed are too small for me and i can’t sleep with my wife in there. Thanks

I dont recommend this hotel

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.

Disappointed

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.

The hotel is beautiful and has nice lake access. Unfortunately, the lake was brown when we went. We found places further south where the water was still blue, but we had to investigate on our own. The staff didn't seem to know about these options. The restaurant food and drinks were tasty, and the room ac worked very well.

The place and the rooms are superb. The view of the lake and the dock are about the most peaceful places you can go. Highly recommended. The only opportunity is that the neighbors are a bit loud with music the whole day.

Cute and quaint little place. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. It might be priced a touch too high especially considering the area. We were one of the only people staying in the hotel and maybe if the rooms weren't $225/night they would attract more people. Overall good place though

Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet hôtel… et nous aurions volontiers prolongé notre séjour tant l’endroit est exceptionnel.

La chambre familiale est spacieuse et très agréable, avec des lits particulièrement confortables. L’hôtel est un véritable havre de paix, entouré de verdure, avec de magnifiques bungalows offrant un accès direct à la lagune.

Tout a contribué à rendre cette expérience inoubliable : le cadre idyllique, la vue splendide, l’accès à la lagune, les équipements mis à disposition (canoës, paddles, bouteilles d’eau), le confort des logements, la qualité du restaurant ainsi que la gentillesse du personnel, avec une mention spéciale pour Darwin.

Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, tout comme les plats proposés au restaurant. L’emplacement est également idéal, à seulement 15 à 20 minutes à pied du centre de Bacalar. Nous avons même eu la chance d’admirer de magnifiques levers de soleil sur la lagune.

Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésitation !

Great experience, the hotel is right next to the lagoon, they have kayaks and SUPs you can use. The breakfast was good and the pool a good size for kids. The lagoon is warm so we swam there everyday. The room was beautiful with a hammock outside for relaxing. The hotel also has a small bar and the mezcalitas were delicious, i would highly recommend. We traveled with our 3 kids and we all loved our time in Bacalar.
