Beach Hotels in Chetumal

Hotel was not far from swimming area

Xul-Ha was a dream place, so much better than we could imagine! The fact that the cabanes are small (not in an uncomfortable way) positively makes you stay out more and enjoy the beauty of the lagoon that is right at your feet. Everything needed for relaxation was at hand: comfortable sofas, tan-beds and hammocks. We woke up every morning to assist to a stunning sunrise and then embarked on paddle explorations on an empty lagoon. It truly felt like a private paradise. The breakfasts were a delight start to each day. If you're seeking tranquility and immersion in Mexican beauty, look no further! We extended our stay, completely mesmerised by the charm of the place. A special thanks to Rene who welcome us with warmth (hello from the frenchies if you see the message Rene!). He's always happy to chat and assist with anything you might need. Pepos is hands down my top recommendation in the entire Yucatan!!

Wow! What a place. We loved everything about it. It’s a little piece of heaven. The staff were all amazing. The daily activities were all fantastic. We only stayed for 3 nights but managed to do 2 yoga session, an afternoon of SUP’ing, a water colouring class, a mezcal tasting and a massage. The highly was definitely the sunrise SUP’ing. It’s a must. Make sure you book a room with a lake view as it’s definitely worth the money!

The location in the jungle, the architecture, the love for details, the creative spirit behind it all, the spa, the facial I got, the staff, ....

We had an amazing two night stay! The beach in front of the property is gorgeous. There are hammocks in the water, swings, kayaks, paddle boards, and chairs in front of the water. The rooms are amazing and so comfortable with Netflix, air con, mini fridge, shower with hot water, etc. One of the best parts is being able to use the scooters to go all over town which is included. The property is out of the town but by having the scooters, it makes it easy to go into town. The property is super clean and the workers are very nice. Breakfast is brought to your room each morning and includes a sandwich, fruit, and pastry. It's basic but good. You get one coffee pod to make in your room per day which is good. If you want you can purchase more. Each day they also restock your mini fridge with two beers, two waters and two sodas. They also clean your room daily and the property is kept very clean. This was definitely a splurge for us but if you use all of the amenities it can be worth it.

The area is really really stunning, the view from the room is amazing. The outside terrace is beautiful and at night the little lights and sunset just look amazing. I truly have nothing bad to say, the breakfast was varied and filling and I will absolutely come here again. There was kayaks free to use whenever and a jet ski for 1200 pesos per 30mins for 2 which was very fun! I absolutely recommend, the staff are lovely and helpful. We will be back!

Puerta del Cielo is the best hotel one can find in Bacalar. We were 2 couples who booked 2 rooms with lagoon views and we were mesmerized by the beauty of this hotel and the atmosphere. When we arrived, they immediately opened the doors to paradise, carried our luggage and we were greeted by all the employees which seemed very personal, friendly and made us feel incredibly welcomed. We received a welcome drink, did our check in and then received a tour of the hotel grounds before heading to our rooms. Let me just say that this is without a doubt the most beautiful boutique hotel one could possibly find not just in Mexico but probably anywhere. The bar, the path that stretches throughout the hotel, the pools (one next to the bar and the other one overlooking the lagoon), the balconies, rooms, the view, staff, the dock, EVERYTHING is perfect! There is quiet jazz music playing in the background in the patio and everything is just perfect! We also loved the idea of not having the typical breakfast that we received in 5 other hotels while traveling around Yucatan and Q.R. Every 4 and 5 star hotel would offer the same thing every day, which after 2 weeks becomes a bit dull and P.D.C. was a perfect little break from the usual routine. They don’t offer rooms with breakfast included. You get a menu (which is very good with lots of options) and you order through Whatsapp all over the hotel. You just write what you want and where and they bring it to you. And the food - WOW, they work so hard for every single dish!!! Also, a lot of staff would remember who we were and would call us by name which I really appreciate. We even had a dinner on the dock and it was our favorite dinner in our lives! We were greeted by our chef who recommended the catch of the day and it was delicious! I/we want to come back to Puerta del Cielo many times and just hope to have the opportunity to do it.

Beautiful place and the fact the kayaks and paddle boards are included is amazing!

Villa Marilu was amazing! It was very clean and well maintained. Waking up to the beautiful lagoon made my day. The entire staff is super friendly and helpful. Eduardo was always there very helpful with anything we needed, wether it was ideas, suggestions on sights or food, and answer any questions we might have. The property is well kept and offers a nice little breakfast and if we were in the mood for a heavier breakfast there was always the options of very good restaurants in the area. The villa has a cozy and private feel to it, which I loved.
