Tourism in Bacalar has been blowing up recently, and a lot of new hotels are springing up each year. But Mia Bacalar is head and shoulders above the rest. Yes, it's on the pricier side for the area, but, there are so many wonderful amenities you get for your money. In my estimation, it's worth it. The property consists of luxury "cabins" that are spread out along the lagoon. This means you get your own private space. Each one has so many nice little finishes, including large comfortable beds, hot tubs, and rainfall showers. The views of Laguna Bacalar are spectacular, especially the sunrises. You can climb right into the water from the property, and, there are kayaks and paddleboards available to use as well. The on-site restaurant was another highlight. They have a surprisingly expansive menu, consisting of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a variety of drinks. Highlights included the chilaquiles, a variety of fresh seafood tacos, and the shortribs. The hotel's chef is fantastic, and the food is all representative of local ingredients and flavors. As far as location, the hotel is about a five minute drive from central Bacalar. You can take your own car (on-site parking is ample and secure) or request a shuttle ride from the hotel. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Mia Bacalar to anyone visiting the area!
