Wat een leuke, kleine hostel! De kamers zijn ruim en enorm schoon. De eigenaar is super vriendelijk en wilt je overal mee helpen. Geeft je goed advies waar naar toe te gaan en het meer is 2 minuten wandelen.
La hospitalidad de la Posada Ixchel es bellísima y muy acogedora. Justino y Raquel nos acomodaron de último minuto (el otro hotel que habíamos reservado nos quedó mal), pero resultó ser justo lo que necesitabamos. Está muy bien ubicado, es fácil realizar actividades de día desde la posada. Bacalar queda manejando a 10 minutos y es una carretera bastante fácil de manejar. Los jardines son bellísimos, llenos de flores y 2 ceibas preciosas. Las habitaciones son muy prácticas, te dan cafetera, café, agua, a/c, y baño privado. Hay un espacio para sentarse en frente de tu habitación súper comodo. También tienen una cocina en donde puedes cocinar platillos básicos y tienen herramientas de cocina a la mano. (Nosotros preparamos bebidas perfectamente bien). Pero lo que más me gustó de este espacio es la energía y la hospitalidad que te brindan Justino y Raquel, que estuvieron pendientes de nosotros en todo momento. Muchas gracias por su gran hospitalidad que nos cambió el viaje!
We came after dark Justino, received us with open hands and heart made us feel at home and embraced the place is clean, comfortable, and beautiful the artistic touch is impressive and the sincere connection to the goddess Ixchel is true and felt great price as well :)
En general muy buen lugar, estancia feliz. Primeramente volveremos en diciembre, 14 personas
El lugar es simplemente hermoso, al momento de visitarlo aun lo estaban acabando 12/02/2021 (están construyendo alberca y acabando de pintar algunos cuartos) todas las habitaciones hiper limpias, amplias y cada una es diferente (agua caliente con calentador solar); es un lugar tranquilo y a muy buena distancia de las lagunas. Buenos espacios comunes y cocina comunitaria equipada con utensilios y algunos ingredientes para facilitar la preparación de los alimentos si no quieres gastar en restaurantes, el lugar perfecto para llegar a descansar solo, en pareja o en familia, además de que el personal fue muy muy amable al momento de llegar, costo sumamente accesible, 10/10 espero regresar muy pronto.
Excelente lugar para hospedarse, atención increíble de parte de sus dueños, Xul Ha es un lugar tranquilo cerca de Bacalar y otros puntos de interés, desde aquí se puede mover fácilmente a deversos puntos de interés. La posada Ixchel es un lugar ideal para descansar, jardines increíbles y super tranquilo, cuenta con una cocima totalmente equipada para preparar tus propios alimentos. Ampliamente recomendable
This was probably our favorite stay during our trip so far. The bungalows are lovley decorated, the garden is so lush and green with amazing little spots to sit and just enjoy, the kitchen is well equipped and the owners are lovley and help out where ever they can. We will come back one day for sure!
Impressive and nice design. Comfortable beds. AC, hot water, functional toilet with soap, fresh fruits, cofe machine and towels. But the best are the really nice and helpful hosts <3 Best place next to Bacalar who doesn't want to feel like a sardine in a tourist can. The beaches here are cheap (10-20 pesos entrance) clean and almost empty. You can rent the same kayaks and whatever here too and the nature is as same beautiful (see pix). The people in this village are also very friendly. What I don't like are the countless stray dogs :/ Also, du Individualtourist mit dem Mietwagen, hier ist der Ort nach dem du suchst abseits der Tourimaßen ;) PS: in der Unterkunft kann man auch Fahrräder leihen

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
