It is possible that I have been to a worse hotel than el Secreto in my 49 years of professional flying, but if so, I cannot remember it. First of all, the hotels advertisement online is a total misrepresentation. A fabrication. Simply a lie. It is not an all inclusive hotel. It is a very dirty and unsanitary hovel. My bathroom was covered in mold and mildew. No hot water in the sink. No soap. No clothes iron. Toilet would not flush. Unreliable internet. My room had an insect infestation and I was bitten several times during the night. No television. Howling cats roam the halls at night.The “kitchen” is a converted metal oceangoing container set outside in the side yard. On the way to the kitchen you will negotiate dog vomit on the steps and then starving dogs around and inside the container/kitchen. Food was cold and poor quality. I suffered nausea and diarrhea. Trash is piled in areas within 200 feet of el Secreto. Rats and other rodents infest the garbage dumps. I have PHOTOS. HAPPY TO SHARE. I was scheduled for a four night stay on my business trip. I complained to the manager the first morning. He promised a refund the full amount for the remaining three nights. As of this writing, and after several attempts to contact the manager, I have received no refund.

Everyone was so nice, welcoming, and hospitable! All the gentlemen and ladies working there are extra helpful and courteous, they really made our stay that much more enjoyable. The food was delicious, all hand made ro order. The hotel is in a perfect spot at the bottom of Bacalar Lagoon, not too far from the city or the Chetumal airport. It's peaceful and clean!

The name is misleading- it suggests you are staying in Bacalar, when in fact you are quite far away! Staff was very helpful but the apartments need a lot of work. Mold and mildew was rampant! Restaurant is overpriced!

Overpriced camping
More like camping than a quality hotel. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the internet. Very minimal room with very little space. Complimentary breakfast was fruit and granola (expected more). Extremely hard to find. Frustrating because they changed the name but haven't changed their sign. Extremely overpriced for what you get.
