Very nice, well-maintained property. Place was clean, quiet, had convenient parking, and was walkable to town. Lake access with equipment, onsite bar/restaurant and a private patio made it top notch. Would recommend.

The staff were amazing! The view and the food by the bar/palapa was spectacular. The room was very clean, I personally found the bed mattress a bit hard but otherwise the room was perfect. Location was perfectly away from hustle and bustle of town but close enough drive to access all the fun bars and restaurants.

Great place, has it all.

Everything you need in one place. Clean rooms, great service. Bar staff was amazing (moises). They just need better wifi but then maybe it was a blessing to not be connected.

Despite an initial issue during check-in (was charged in USD at a very unfavourable rate instead of Pesos as noted by Expedia) the Hotel management made things right in the end - Overall really nice stay, making Bacalar one of the highlights of the Mexico trip

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.
