Top Santa Elena Hotel Reviews

Hotel Carolina Bacalar

Hotel Carolina Bacalar

6/10 Okay
"CHECK IN: We called the hotel a day prior to our arrival and said that we were coming for a brief one night stay and needed to leave early. Requested an early check in. They promised to do their best to accommodate us. Room was not ready until 4:00 PM, an hour AFTER check in time. HOTELS.COM “special goodies” was a blah glass of juice. ROOM: we paid for the most expensive “Lagoon View Suite” only to be housed adjacent to the bar - listening to the bar staff all evening - while having absolutely no view. SERVICE: Staff was friendly but essentially “just doing their job” attitude. HOTEL LOCATION is right adjacent to a noisy beach-club robbing any serenity and romance from the idyllic deck photographs in the promo of the hotel. RATE IS HIGH for what you get."
