Other things to note
NOTE: There are 10 steps leading from the parking area down to the Cabaña. Please check our other 2 villas if you have difficulty with stairways.

Check in is between 1:00 and 6:00pm, so please plan your flights and drive time accordingly. We are 4 hours south of Cancun airport, the last 2 hours of which have almost no cell signal or streetlights. We are 40 minutes from Chetumal airport, where evening flight arrivals are often delayed.

You are always welcome to arrive early and relax on the dock until your villa is ready (we have a separate bathroom and changing area). On your departure day, you are welcome to enjoy the dock and laguna after checking out. Late checkout may be available.

We love animals. We have six friendly dogs who like new people, especially kids. Airbnb system defaults make it look like they live in the Cabaña, but they do not! They live in our house, at the other end of the property. They spend most of their time near the house, unless you love dogs, in which case they know it and may hang out near you. They also like well-socialized dog visitors who are good with cats (we have two). If you would like to bring yours, do! But please check with us in advance. And you and pooches are always welcome to join us for the morning jungle walk! :-)

Neighbourhood highlights

Our peaceful, relaxing compound offers unparalleled privacy, with three villas spread along more of Laguna Bacalar's lush shoreline than anywhere else this close to the town of Bacalar. The town's good restaurants, markets, and low-key entertainment are 4 km south of us. WE HAVE 30 plus MEGAS OF INTERNET ..... Great for working (If you can work with that view!!!)
