Kapok Bacalar - Plant Based Hotel

great concept, disappointing stay We wanted to find an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle while we were in Mexico so we opted for Kapok based on its reviews. Unfortunately, I walked away ~50 bites. We noticed substantial amount of orange stain on the bottom of the curtain and bed sheet- the part that’s tucked under while the bed is made. I really wish we googled it right then to realize it’s pest stain. We expected some discomfort while being there, but pests weren’t a part of it. Bites on our body kept popping all over days after we left as though we were still getting fresh bites. We reached out to Kapok to rectify this issue and they insisted at they don’t have bed bugs. They said the stain was caused by termites and our bites are chaquiste mosquito bites. I don’t know of mosquito bites that would continue to pop up days after exposure. And even if the stain were from termites- why would that be okay to offer to guests? Overall extremely disappointed and would caution others to reconsider their booking or at last examine their room once they get there. Don’t go barefoot since it is in the woods and you could get stung by scorpions. Pros: tucked away, friendly staff, quiet Cons: tons of bites (whatever the culprit it should be a no), expensive vegan meals (USD150 for 2 for 1 day), room smelled like sewage, room filled with smoke when kitchen is cooking, scorpion in shower, no AC, shower not private enough for women, rough road - wouldn’t recommend taking a small car

Esta muy bien wl concepto. Dificil acceso

The retreat at the magical Kapok Bacalar palace was absolutely incredible. The closeness to nature, the turquoise waters of the lagoon, the cozy and comfortable bungalows, and the unexpectedly delightful vegan food that was worthy of a Michelin star—all of it far exceeded my expectations.

Beautiful atmosphere and grounds, excellent food and super service. You can definitely tell that the food you are eating was planned and cooked by a real chef truly dedicated to his craft! The atmosphere truly reflects the Mayan land and history!

Han sido ya unas 4 ocasiones que he tenido la valiosa oportunidad de visitar Kapok, honestamente es un lugar mágico, que cuida los detalles de las cosas, es un lugar que tiene congruencia y que se siente como la calma te abraza cuando estás en este lugar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente tanto para visita en familia, en pareja o también ir solo en manera de retiro.

This was much more remote than anticipated, but in a lovely way. Off the beaten path and far from the crowds and tourists is this gorgeous wonderland built into the jungle. If you want quiet, unique, and delicious plant based meals this place has it. Our only regrets are not firing up the tezmascal and spending more nights here.
