The weather was really hot, so there was a bit of mosquitoes as we are in nature, if you travel this part of Mexico in this weather repellent and sunscreens are important

Beautiful property in the middle of an authentic mayan town . Lots of nature tropical plants, flowers, and a huge swimming pool, which is a heart of this place. Rooms are big, and our bathrooms were like indoors out door vibe with a stone wall . This place has everything you can buy your drinks around the corner and rooms have a mini fridge and . The decorations are elegant yet practical . We did the reservation last moment and were hesitant as it was away from Bacalar centro, but it's close to the laguna de bacalar just 5 mins walk from casa cactus. This part if lagoon its not touristy, so it feels private relaxing . You can see stars at night . We ended up extending our stay as it was the best stay in 1 month of the trip Mexico. The bed was huge and comfortable . Staff were kind of knowledgeable . Visit the ruin nearby . Breakfast was as per order, which was personal and delicious. We will be back. You come here to relax, walk around and sleep good

Keep in mind that there can be mosquitos in this area.

The place is beautiful and so quiet, so a great place to relax. The owner responded quickly to my messages. We slept really well in the king-size bed, enjoyed the pool, and made a fire for the bbq.

Every

We stayed at Casa Cactus Buenavista for only 3 days and we really regretted that we couldn't stay longer. Jey is a charming host who made us happy at every step during our stay. We didn't have to worry about anything - every day Jey prepared a detailed plan of what we should visit, where to eat a good dinner and gave us lots of other practical advice. Casa Cactus Buenavista is a fantastic place to relax: silence, beautiful garden, very nice swimming pool. Every day Jey was preparing a delicious breakfast served outdoors. Since Jey speaks English fluently, I got a chance to have free conversations, which was very rare in other places in Yucatan. Without a doubt, the stay at Casa Cactus Buenavista was the best time during the entire 3-week stay in Yucatan.

Everything! The rooms and the way the pool and breakfast/ dinner area is arranged is very well organized The dinner we had was excellent, the room very quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature! We had overall a wonderful experience You should definitely have a car, it’s possible without because Jey & Sebastien are extremely accommodating and you can arrange taxis but much easier with a car

We were on a family trip by car to see various archeological sites at Yucatan with quite tight schedule but when we stayed at Casa Cactus - we decided to change plans and to have a "day off". It is a wonderful location with extraordinary hosts. They are experienced travellers with amazing stories - they know everything about accommodating guests with everything they may need. Communication was excellent and quick, which helped us a lot since we had an unexpected long drive. The cabañas and rooms are clean and spacious, everything is so easy to use, working well and beautifully designed - supporting local artists. It’s relaxing and full of plants. The hosts made us feel like home and so safe. The place is in the heart of real Mexico in a very strategic location - 10 min drive to Chachcoben and around 20-25 to Bacalar city. The lagoon is not long walk away and there is a great restaurant by the water too. They are so aware of their community and nature - everything is natural and supportive of surroundings. Every detail of the place tells a story and is designed to give space and comfort. We were offered to experience breakfast cooked by one of the neighbours for a small fee - Mari is a great cook and everything was handmade. It’s a very friendly atmosphere with a lot of intimacy and peace. Practical advice - there are 2 types of rooms available. One in a building. And second - bungalows. Equally comfortable. There is nice garden area with pool and dining area (open kitchen, grill, etc...)

Couldn’t think of anything, all was perfect

This is an extraordinary place. Thought out and executed with an exception vision for peaceful tranquillity. The private bungalows are so beautiful, designed with efficiency in mind, and giving every bit of comfort one could desire. The heart of the property is an inner courtyard with a pool and the Lash garden around it. It’s a piece of heaven, filled with loving care by a remarkable couple who owns and operates it. From the moment we finalize our booking, so helpful communication leading up to our stay, warmest welcome and the fantastic , vegan breakfast, we felt pampered and cared for. It is a hidden gem, and we feel so very fortunate to have an opportunity to spend some time here.

Casa cactus is a new hotel with very friendly staff,they helped us with everything we needed. Very clean and great for traveling with family as they have all the needed amenities. We enjoyed the pool. It is located on a quiet neighborhood which increases its charm. Perfect for a relaxing - no stress- stay. The rooms are big and with a nice design.
