I did three different resorts at three different cities. Bacalar Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. My favorite resort was Cristalino by far. The front desk were so nice very kind great service and always smiling. The food was cultural and very delicious. The view you get while eating at the restaurant on site is the best! The pool was warm so when it was chilly it was great. The lagoon view from my room was great. The house keepers were great! They left my room spotless every time. The transportation was easy they order you a taxi, with in 5 to 10 minutes he was outside. The room service was fast and easy, your food was in your room with in 20 to 25 minutes. Close to the city but far enough for it to be peaceful and quite. I recommend this place 5 out of 5.

A wonderful slice of paradise

This hotel is absolutely amazing. Peaceful, wonderful service, and dock access to the lake with comfortable chairs. The restaurant was wonderful and all the staff were lovely. Bonus is that the hotel lets your borrow kayaks and paddle boards!

The rooms were way better than expected — cozy and nice. The A/C didn’t work properly, but overall, it was a good stay. The staff was friendly, though a bit bossy. If I may share some honest feedback, I felt overwhelmed by the number of rules and restrictions. They made us sign documents, followed up repeatedly via WhatsApp… I’m not sure what kind of guests they usually get that would justify this approach, but personally, I’m not used to being bossed around — and I didn’t enjoy that part at all.

Very clean, attentive service, beautiful docks and views. Gorgeous property and people. Lovely check-in service but involved a long contract of rules and threats of additional charges which made me anxious. Only given 1 plastic room key between the two of us and told we would be charged if it was lost. Didn’t love the restaurant food at all (seafood soup was akin to licking a salt block, avocado toast was on a soggy sweet bread). My husband’s rum and cola cost 400 pesos for 2 ounces of rum plus another 75 pesos for a little bit of coke (about $40 Canadian). The equivalent of buying a bottle of each.

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.
