Such a beautiful location, and it’s incredible exploring the lagoon by kayak and paddle boards, there are also a bunch of platforms to jump off into the lagoon for a bit more action. The cabanas were stunning and felt like a top class glamping experience. Though it’s a taxi ride to Bacalar Centro, the taxi fare is worth it to stay here and to go into Bacalar for tours or a night out (we were paying 400 pesos return on the days we wanted to taxi into town). Definitely a more relaxing and more beautiful place to stay than Bacalar. The staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful, and the communal areas have a real community feel, everyone relaxing together, good chats but equally respectful of the peace and quiet. Breakfast was also HUGE and delicious. Cooking facilities have everything you need to prepare meals too. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Our favourite spot in our two months in Mexico.

Nothing whatsoever. Just know you’re in a neighbouring town to Bacalar (more authentic)

Xul-Ha was a dream place, so much better than we could imagine! The fact that the cabanes are small (not in an uncomfortable way) positively makes you stay out more and enjoy the beauty of the lagoon that is right at your feet. Everything needed for relaxation was at hand: comfortable sofas, tan-beds and hammocks. We woke up every morning to assist to a stunning sunrise and then embarked on paddle explorations on an empty lagoon. It truly felt like a private paradise. The breakfasts were a delight start to each day. If you're seeking tranquility and immersion in Mexican beauty, look no further! We extended our stay, completely mesmerised by the charm of the place. A special thanks to Rene who welcome us with warmth (hello from the frenchies if you see the message Rene!). He's always happy to chat and assist with anything you might need. Pepos is hands down my top recommendation in the entire Yucatan!!

Very relaxed and beautiful place 10 minute drive from Bacalar. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful which made the stay that much more special. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards can be used for free so they were great to take out. Breakfast was lovely as well! Couldn’t recommend more!

It is a 10 minute or so walk into Xul-Ha which has no restaurants and a few shops to buy food. Therefore if you want to go out and explore probably worth having a car

This place was super chill. the owner Rene was thoughtful and kind, Sephora made a delicious breakfast every day and Israel kept the place spiffy. kayaks and paddle boards available to explore the gorgeous blue fresh water lake. We had a 4 hour catamaran tour with Elise and Danny that included biology lesson and a beautiful fruit lunch. the cabanas are unique and quiet. the bathroom facilities are private but shared. sinks are communal outside. We liked so well we stayed an extra night. Taxis can be called to get a ride. we had a car so we went to Chetumal for evening meals.

It was exactly what we were looking for.

Israel and Sephora are amazing! They run the place with a lot of heart and care, and made the place feel even better than it already does with the sweet cabins and direct lake access. Free kayaks and paddleboards and bikes! Lovely cabins! Great breakfast. Hammocks. Deck. Right on the water.

This is not on Pepos directly, but the neighbor two doors south down the lake was blaaaasting music, it was 2 guys (who maybe aren't even there permanently) listening to music at music festival volumes at random times. It wasn't constant and it would NOT prevent me from returning here--I loved it--BUT if there were any conversation that could happen with those people to contain their volume or listening times that would be a big help. One rec to future travelers: get most of your groceries in Bacalar or Chetumal, it's slim pickins in Xul-Ha.

We like everything and everyone, work there , simple but very relaxing place, we travel for anniversary from 11-3-23 to 11-6-23 very good place we return for more days next time thank you Pepos

We like the Rene,Patricio, and Israel do everything for you, everything you need they fine for you, thank you guys for very good work

Great rooms and facilities! Had the whole lake to ourselves and included use of kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Good breakfast was also included, nice kitchen facilities and very friendly staff. Overall loved our stay here!

Keep in mind not many restaurants so will need to cook your meals!

I loved our stay here - the rooms were really luxurious, the common area was more normal. the location was great, everyone was nice, we loved borrowing the canoes to explore the lagoon. it was very relaxing.

the pier with hammocks on it could have been nicer, it was cement so a little uncomfortable to lie down on, and there weren;t always enough hammocks for the guests. it was a little confusing who worked there and to get information about the area, but everyone was really nice and guests shared information with each other too.

Nice and clean location with good breakfast. Friendly and helpfull staff

The location itself and it's surroundings are relatively quiet. Could be something to consider for long stays, for short stays it is just perfect

I loved everyone on staff! They were super nice, and helpful, and really cared about the experiences of everyone staying at Pepos! The location is amazing-right on the water and the paddleboards/kayaks/sailboats are so nice to take out on the water! The huts were adorable and super cozy and make for a really romantic trip <3
