Boa Boa was our favourite stay this vacation. All of the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The property is beautiful and all of the rooms were wonderful. We had the best sleep in the king sized beds! Having access to the water and some free kayaks really added such a bonus to our trip. I highly suggest getting up early to watch the sunrise and do a little paddle. There was lots of street parking for our car and the neighbourhood was very quiet. We look forward to our next day at Boa Boa and can’t wait to see what these amazing folks do next with their artistic talents.

Boa boa is a beautiful property which is unique. The location is close to town but not really easily walkable due to the nature of the road which makes it a little inconvenient. Free kayaks were brilliant for sunrise. Breakfast is beautifully presented but unfortunately not to my partner's taste. Would have been better to provide an option on check in for what to deliver such as just additional toast/spreads instead of the oat and fruit bowl as it was ultimately wasted each morning. Room was comfortable, but very small, needed to unpack and repack bags on the deck. The WhatsApp communication was great and had we stayed longer we would have definitely chosen some of the activities on site. The boat trip organised through hotel was lovely.

We had a great stay. The staff are lovely and the rooms clean and spacious. Amazing views of the lake from our balcony. Free kayaks which was a lot of fun! The views from the deck was stunning also. Breakfast, Coffe and water were included, which we enjoyed. The hotel is about a 10 min drive or 35 min walk into Bacalar. There's lots of great bars and restaurants there! The only slight negative was the noise from the road at night but ear plugs worked well and we were in one of the rooms closer to the highway. Definitely recommend staying here, we loved it. Hopefully be back again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Boa Boa Hotel in Bacalar, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel's unique charm and excellent location made it an ideal choice for our trip. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of our stay. A special mention goes to Luna, who was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout our visit. Her responsiveness and willingness to assist with anything we needed truly enhanced our experience. Luna’s dedication to excellent customer service is commendable and made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Boa Boa Hotel for anyone visiting Bacalar. The combination of a unique atmosphere, cleanliness, and exceptional service makes it a top choice. Thank you, Luna and team, for making our stay memorable!
