Tierra Maya Hotel - gorgeous decor and garden pool

Beautiful pool and gardens, gorgeous rooms with stunning white wash floors and concrete glaze flooring. Lovely room decor. Netflix. Extra bed in room for our family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children under 10). Also, amazing location to walk into town too! 5 minutes from the main plaza. it is next to a fabulous breakfast place (2 mins walk) - Ixchel Bacalar Downside - Coffee machine in room but no pods and poor WiFi connectivity.

Good location near centre

Nice small hotel and friendly service. Good location in the centre of Bacalar, walking distance to the lake, restaurants and shops. Everything was okay but I couldn’t help feeling that the hotel was overpriced for what it was. Room felt a little humid and bathroom definitely needs renovation. Bacalar can be pricey: we had just stayed in a beautiful new hotel in Tulum for half the price that we paid here. For 130 euros a night I think the bathroom needs to be more comfortable and room have a better lock.

Dårlig balance mellem pris og kvalitet

Wifi var meget svagt. Ofte var det nødvendigt at gå ud på gangen for at få forbindelse. Personalet kunne ikke tale engelsk og var ikke servicemindede. Værelserne ligger lige ud til en ret trafikeret vej, hvilket giver en del støj. Poolen var ikke indbydende. Stedets “bar” var lukket. Stedet kaldes for “sanctuary”. Dette giver ingen mening, der er ikke roligt og afslappende. Der var strømafbrydelse i mere end et døgn. Vi var nødt til at forlade hotellet da der ikke var udsigt til at strømmen kom igen. Personalet var ikke samarbejdsvillige i forhold til at hjælpe os med at kontakte Hotels.com for at få refusion for den overnatning vi ikke kunne have grundet strømafbrydelsen. I forhold til de priser vi ellers har mødt på Yucatan var dette sted prismæssigt i den høje ende. Ikke en rimelig pris i forhold til hvad vi fik - placering/hotellets stand/service mm. Stedet kan ikke anbefales.

Bueno pero con cosas a mejorar.

Hotel limpio, muy bien localizado. La habitación podría ser muy bonita pero puedes notar que no fueron cuidadosos con los detalles. (Ejemplo de manchas de pintura en el baño) La otra cosa que no me parece a orden al precio es que se llame SPA pero no tiene nada que ver con SPA, con lo cual resulta engañoso y que sientas que has pagado demasiado por la estancia.
