MBH Maya Bacalar Hotel Boutique is a 16-room property on the shore of the Bacalar lagoon in Quintana Roo, built around water views and a quiet pace. The hotel has direct lagoon access and an overwater dock, with kayaking and boat trips available on site and a single restaurant, Xant-Ha. It sits on Carretera Federal 307, about 42 km from Chetumal International Airport, and works best for travelers who want a small, calm base on the water.

A 16-room lagoon-front hotel on Bacalar’s shore, MBH Maya Bacalar runs on a room-only plan and keeps its footprint small. Accommodation spans King and Double rooms plus five named suites, with one restaurant, one bar and an overwater dock on the lagoon.
The pace here is slow. MBH Maya Bacalar fronts the lagoon directly, and the overwater dock is the natural center of the property: still water, open sky and a setting that stays quiet through the day. With only 16 rooms, the property never feels crowded, and the surrounding stretch of Carretera Federal 307 keeps things removed from town noise. The trade-off is that construction and maintenance work surfaces at times, so the polish of the grounds can vary between visits.
MBH Maya Bacalar operates on a room-only meal plan, so dining at Xant-Ha is arranged separately rather than bundled into the rate. Kayaking and boat trips are available as on-site activities. Lagoon access and the overwater dock are part of the property itself.
The hotel has 16 rooms in total. Room categories are King and Double, and the accommodation also includes five named suites: Suite Ik, Suite Imix, Suite Muluk, Suite Oc and Suite Ahau.
Two room categories are available: King and Double. The suite side of the inventory carries Maya calendar names, with Suite Ik, Suite Imix, Suite Muluk, Suite Oc and Suite Ahau among the named categories. With 16 rooms in total, the property stays small no matter which category you book.
Named suite categories at MBH Maya Bacalar include Suite Ik, Suite Imix, Suite Muluk, Suite Oc and Suite Ahau. These sit alongside the King and Double rooms within the 16-room inventory. The suite names are drawn from the Maya calendar, but the categories themselves define the extent of the published distinction.
One restaurant, Xant-Ha, and one bar cover dining, with the hotel on a room-only plan. The facility anchor is the lagoon itself: direct water access and an overwater dock, with kayaking and boat trips available.
Dining runs through a single outlet, the Xant-Ha restaurant, supported by one bar. Because the hotel operates on a room-only plan, meals at Xant-Ha are ordered and paid separately from the room rate. With one restaurant and one bar on a 16-room property, the dining setup stays simple, and the lagoon-front setting does most of the work.
Recreation at MBH Maya Bacalar centers on the lagoon. The property has direct lagoon access and an overwater dock, and kayaking and boat trips are available on site. There is no spa or fitness facility in the published inventory, so the water is the main outlet for activity. The lagoon-front position is the property’s signature, and the dock puts you right on it.
