We took a weekend away and chanced upon Bakalar Villas. There are a number of tatty-looking hotels that haven't evolved since the 1960's, and then there's Bakalar Villas. Rather than being on the water, it's on the opposite side of the street with stunning views of Laguna Bacalar. The hotel is very new and many rooms are still under construction. In fact, the room below ours had construction workers. They were quiet, but the chemicals that they were using on the woodwork or whatever wafted upstairs into our bedroom....I couldn't figure out until the next day why I had such a ripping headache. Negatives are that the room that we were in still was incomplete; the tiles in the bathroom didn't look like they were finished and cleaned property, the shower head was among the worst I've ever had to face, and the TV didn't have cable--you had to borrow DVD's from the front desk. The furnishings are very tasteful, but the artlwork on the walls could have been done by my 6 year old...if I had one. I'm sure they'll get their act together, but nonetheless this is the ONLY place I'd stay in in Bacalar.
