Top choice in Laguna Bacalar
Laguna Bacalar is absolutely beautiful in its own right, so imagine staying at one of the most striking locations along the shore. A typical day on the rancho (ranch) goes something like this: wake up in comfy cabin or room; have breakfast with lagoon view; kayak or swim in calm, translucent waters; and unwind in a Jacuzzi. Wi-fi in reception only.
The ranch is 3km north of Bacalar.
