6/10 Good

Honestly a beautiful resort, but pool floors definitely need deep cleaning and FUMIGATION of rooms and resort should be a priority as it’s infested with mosquitos and rooms/beds have non stop bugs/pests falling from ceiling. Staff were super courteous and location was extremely convenient. Would be a perfect resort if management considers fumigations.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is gorgeous and very comfortable and serene. It's in a great locations very close to the Zocalo and the lagoon. The concierge team was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The restaurant on site had great drinks but I think the food could be improved as it left little to be desired in terms of options. I do have a severe shellfish allergy and they were VERY on top of that which I appreciated. You do not have your own fridge or TV in the room if that matters to you. They also don't provide body wash, which I found odd, but other than that I would absolutely stay here again. It was absolutely lovely and the many pools were a godsend with the heat as they keep them cool.

This place is a gem! It’s very unique and I love how quiet it is. Perfect to get to town (10 minute walk) or the lagoon (5 minutes). Staff was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely come back! Actually can’t wait to come back to this gem of town and boutique hotel!

Beautiful hotel located in a noisy neighborhood. The hotel itself was great with amazing ambiance, room was amazing as well but with barking dogs in close proximity and roosters going off at 5am, don't expect to get much rest at this hotel unfortunately.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Hormiga: it's well-located; the room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated; the included breakfast was delicious and plentiful (and served by a great and friendly member of staff); the staff were always attentive to our requests and questions; and the option to swim in the lagoon at the hotel's partner bar, La Playita, between 8am-12pm before other tourists arrived was so incredibly appreciated and made it especially worthwhile. Also: the bakery/cafe opposite, Bamoa, (not affiliated with the hotel) offered some of the best food and drink we had in Bacalar. Recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay at Casa Hormiga. Everything was excellent, including the fantastic cocktails from the bar, the delicious food with lots of vegetarian options, the quiet pools and the comfortable room. We were there during a slow month so the hotel wasn't full, which meant we had the pool all to ourselves and it never felt busy at breakfast either. The city is walkable from here but it's not right in the middle of the noisy areas either.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Casa Hormiga. The pristine grounds, excellent service, and unique activities like the "House Ritual" with the Cacao Ceremony and massage made it a standout destination. The rooms were spacious, room service was good and the location very walkable. Special shout-out to Ruben, who was hilarious and extremely welcoming. I’ll be back one day!

Not only was the property lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were above and beyond kind and helpful. While I was there, I needed medical attention. The staff worked as translators with the hospital, set up taxi rides, and checked in on me frequently. So generous. The pool area is clean and calming. My hammock on the porch, alluring. The beds were comfortable and the showers hot. No complaints at all. Casa Hormiga is quiet and peaceful. It is only a few blocks to the lake or the plaza... very convenient. I'd stay there again any day.
