This place has nice decks with loungers under palapas over the water. It has a very relaxed vibe. The cabin is not luxurious, but has a bed, ac, lights, shower, sink toilet and 1 outlet on each side of the bed. The bed is on a very low platform, maybe 4-6 inches off the ground. It was not the most comfortable bed and we only had one pillow each. Breakfast is made to order and was delicious. The staff speak very little English, but are very kind. It is the sort of place that is great in your 20s, but If you are laid back, this spot was wonderful and we loved the staff. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### ALBERTO Mar 28, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Horrible food and disappointed with staff service. We had no running water one night. ##### ALBERTO Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jennifer Jun 18, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There was no running water, no power, after a storm, no staff to help us, there was a leak spraying water in our bathroom. We had to leave early, no one to check us out and no refund! I sent an email to the property and they did not respond. The worst place I have stayed - do not book at this hotel! ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Francisco Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Everything was great except the 1st night we stayed in the dome. When we 1st got in our room it was warm, we attributed it to the outside climate, however after the AC stopped running,they swapped us rooms and thats when we realized the AC wasn't working as intended the previous day (new room was really fresh). I brought it up to the receptionist but they told me i should've brought it up earlier even though i had no idea that wasn't how it was supposed to be ( I had nothing to compare it to). Everything else was great. ##### Francisco Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ana Feb 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Waterfront location and deck can't be beaten We stayed 3 nights in Casa Shiva. Selected the hotel based on price-location-amenities ratio. Location: the best! Waterfront area is very peaceful, plenty of space for all guests. Never a time when hammocks, swings, or chairs were all taken. Wonderful blue water, just some paddle boarders and kayacks occasionally passing by. Best sunrise in Bacalar. Breakfast: included with the room. Sufficient, well made: eggs, coffee and juice, yogurt & fresh fruit, toasted bread. Served by the waterfront with amazing views. Room: Basic, but clean and spacious. Well functioning A/C, remodeled bathroom, good shower (plenty of water pressure, and hot water). Bath soap provided in wall dispensers. Beach towels provided in the room. No coffee maker, iron, or hair dryer in room. Double rooms (not cabannas) are right by the breakfast area. Front windows only have mosquito screens, not glass, so it is a bit noisy in the morning when they are setting up for breakfast at 7:30am (also, when they play music). NOTE: Casa Shiva no longer has kayaks available for guests to use. They must be rented from outside company now. Final thoughts: not the best sound proof rooms, but the overall location of the hotel and that fantastic waterfront make Casa Shiva totally worth it. ![Breakfast setting](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/830709192E56BE178CEEF41CC34942005FF32AB91676138333557.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![swing](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F117C53987DE7F9D163F4225685F1D137C9AF3931676138393091.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Waterfront lighting at night](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5B9D79768B813DC6FC33F65F8BF700B2FF58291C1676138412310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Room and front door/windows](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54E329BB746CF146C7E5F546F2667FAE6EF449C31676138456528.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ana Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diana Sep 12, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities el lugar ya ni existe ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diana Sep 10, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities el lugar ya no existe quiero mi reembolso ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El área de camastros está increible ##### Juan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roberto Aug 16, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The kayaks and paddle board are not available for the guests anymore like before.

Déja je n'etais pas du tout rassurée clim ne semble pas envoyer d'air frais, chambre qui fait peur, cadavres d'insectes et petit dejeuner ridicule (littéralement 2 oeufs et 3 tranches de fruits). 1 nuit pas plus!
