This was a great stay. Great location, street parking nearby was not too hard to find. Lots of great restaurants nearby and a short walk to the lagoon. Many great spots around the property to relax including the roof. Enjoyed the hotel cats (it factored into our decision to book there) and the little touches the hotel includes in the experience.

We stayed at Casa Chukum for four nights and it was perfect. All the staff who work there are so helpful, welcoming and it is a lovely environment and base to enjoy all of Bacalar. Short walk to some great bars and restaurants and cheap taxis to beach clubs / lagoon tours. Huge comfortable beds and great value for money. We would love to come back and again and highly recommend!

From the moment we checked in, we felt welcome and in a relaxing space. The owners of this boutique hotel have put much effort into making it a special place that exudes calm and kindness. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and quiet at night (the walls are thick, so one doesn't hear the neighbors). The interor garden with a pool is a lovely refuge. The hotel is close to many good restaurants and just a short walk to the lovely water of the lagoon. We highly recommend this hotel in Bacalar!

Best place in Bacalar.

Great location, close to downtown and great restaurants. Beautiful facilities, one feels like is in the middle of the jungle. Good wifi, ideal for those remote workers. But what really won my heart was the staff, always willing to help. I will definitely book this place again.

From the moment you arrive you have become part of a family. Owners and staff are super friendly and kind and there are many stories to be told. As a senior I would have liked to see a grab bar in the shower, there was nothing to hold on to. The shower is strictly overhead, bring a shower cap if you want to keep your hair dry. Another essential item is a flashlight, the rooms are a bit on the dark side.

Wonderful visit to Bacalar

My friend and I took a day trip to Bacalar. The concierge/front desk staff Aldair was extremely sweet, knowledgeable and helped us set up excursions and recommendations even though it was a shorter trip. The rooms were nice and recently renovated, the grounds were spotless and we felt safe and secure the entire stay. If you are going to Bacalar, Casa Chukum is the way to go. 5 stars all the way.

Wonderful stay at Casa Chukum

Our two night stay in Bacalar at Casa Chukum was like a vacation within a vacation during our monthlong stay in the Yucatan. Bacalar’s Lagoon of (at least) Seven Colors – robin egg blue, azure, blue/gray, azul, turquoise, aquamarine, cobalt blue – is nothing less than magical and mystical. But Casa Chukum was pure delight. We were welcomed like family, placed in a spacious second floor room with balcony and stairway to the roof deck, king size bed, very nice bathroom – instant comfort. The breakfast offerings from constant coffee to fruit and juices and a fantastic menu of Mexican and American breakfast favorites was wonderful. The boat ride the staff arranged with Captain George on the good sailboat Harmony was a highlight. Three hours sailing the lagoon, visiting the cenotes feeding the lagoon, swimming in a couple different locations, getting to view a sunset – well, very special indeed. We look forward to a next and hopefully longer visit to Casa Chukum and Bacalar
