We had a nice experience at the hotel. The views are fantastic and there were activities available. Any issues were dealt with professionally. The only issue, and its one to keep in mind, is during high season the lagoon is closed every Wednesday. The only activity allowed is swimming so no kayaks, SUP's or boat tours. This fact was not communicated by hotel staff so it forced us to stay an extra night at more cost.

Very nice property, we enjoyed the pool and the lagoon, compared to other places we visited, the lagoon area in front of the hotel was clean with crystal clear water. The staff was super friendly and professional! One thing we absolutely did not like is that you have no control over the AC, you need to call the staff to operate it and that was quite annoying, hopefully they will find a better way to do this, at least access to turn on/off would have nice.

Our stay at Cristalino Lagon Hotel was a very enjoyable experience. The Hotel Staff was amazing and got what ever we wanted immediately. The resturant was exceptional both in quality and service. The cleanliness in the rooms, the grounds, and property excelled. We were left believing people here really care about their guests.

I was amazed by the comfort, cleanliness and upscale feel to the rooms, the quality of the food from the restaurant and the tranquility of the Lake and the surrounding environment. You will need a car to get to the center but only a 5 minute drive away. The staff were very friendly and helpful.I would definitely reccomend a stay here.

Gorgeous hotel right on the lagoon. The staff were attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Only thing I would mention is they should have bikes to rent. We had to spend money on taxis every time we wanted to go to centro Bacalar. But other than that the stay was perfecto!

This property and the service that we received were magnificent. The staff were glorious and attentive, with great amenities available. The spa only had one therapist so we had to stagger appointments, but not a big deal. We had some pool side snacks and ordered dinner from room service one night. The food & cocktails were spectacular. Very convenient to town, but also has everything you need. A few other resorts & restaurants are within walking distance as well. Property is new and clean. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Rooms were spacious & well designed, including rainfall shower, extra counter space, large balcony, great air con & hot water.

Had an amazing experience at Hotel Cristalino. The service was top-notch and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The room was a great size and I had the option of choosing which scent I preferred for the soaps and lotions provided. The lagoon was absolutely breathtaking and you are able to borrow kayaks or paddle boards from the front desk to explore it.
