Quinta Mai, Paradies gefunden! Tolles Schwimmen, tolle Farben, tolle Lage!
Über diese hausUnterkunft
Befindlich in Bacalar, dieses schön haus für 149 € pro Nacht ist ein phantastisch Auswahl für Ihr nächstes Urlaub. Quinta Mai ist ein farbenfrohes Stück tropisches Paradies am südwestlichen Ufer der Laguna Bacalar in der Stadt Bacalar. Es liegt perfekt an der Spitze einer kleinen Halbinsel, die zwei tiefblaue Cenoten trennt. Durch das kristallklare Wasser, den weißen Sandboden, das intensive Sonnenlicht und die unterschiedlichen Wassertiefen liegt ein unglaubliches Farbenspiel vor Ihren Augen. Die Einheimischen nennen es "Der See der sieben Farben", und Sie können alle sieben Farben und mehr vom Dock der Quinta Mai aus sehen. Es ist auch ausgezeichnetes Wasser zum Schwimmen. Einige Grundstücke auf Bacalar haben schlammige Küsten und andere Grundstücke haben einen sehr steilen Zugang zum Wasser. Andere sind zu niedrig und sie neigen dazu, schlammig zu werden. Quinta Mai ist perfekt. Es liegt mäßig über der Wasserlinie, so dass Sie leicht zum See gelangen. Der Grund des Sees um die Küste ist fester Sand und das Wasser bleibt klar. Darüber hinaus gibt es lebende Gesteine, sogenannte Stromatolithen, direkt vor der Küste, die Konkretionen einer blaugrünen Alge sind und auf der ganzen Welt äußerst selten sind. Die Stromatolithen bilden einen kleinen natürlichen Whirlpool, der etwa einen Meter tief ist und perfekt zum Einweichen oder zum Planschen für Kinder geeignet ist. Am Ende des Docks ist das Wasser etwa 2 Meter tief und Sie können leicht ins Wasser eintauchen. Das Schnorcheln am See ist wunderschön, weil das Wasser so klar ist und es große Felsvorsprünge und Abgründe gibt, die man erkunden kann. Wenn Sie etwa 60 Meter vom Dock entfernt schwimmen, erreichen Sie den Beginn einer tiefblauen Cenote, bei der die Wassertiefe schnell auf etwa 150 Fuß abfällt. In die andere Richtung schwimmend, wird das Wasser ziemlich flach und es wird zu ungefähr 2 Fuß unten. Dies erzeugt ein Farbenspiel, das mit der Tageszeit, der Wellenbewegung und der Wolkendecke variiert. Auf dem Dock unter einem Regenschirm zu sitzen und die Wolken und den See zu betrachten, ist absolut hypnotisierend!
Mein Name ist Jim Baumgaertner. Ich komme aus Wisconsin und bin in Minnesota aufgewachsen. Ich weiß etwas über Seen! Dieser See ist vielleicht der schönste See der Welt. Es ist als einer der größten Seen der Welt von den Vereinten Nationen aufgeführt, genau dort oben mit dem Baikalsee, dem Oberen See und dem Titicacasee. Dieser Ort ist etwas Besonderes! Im Gegensatz zu den oben genannten Seen ist dieser See das ganze Jahr über warm und das Schwimmen ist wunderbar. Ich bin im Titicacasee und im Oberen See geschwommen und ich bevorzuge den Bacalar-See! Es ist auch ein schöner See, um Kajak zu fahren, zu segeln oder eine touristische Seekreuzfahrt zu unternehmen. Wenn Sie ein Vogelbeobachter sind, bringen Sie Ihr Fernglas mit und Sie werden im Himmel sein! Komm jetzt nach Bacalar, bevor der Rest der Welt es entdeckt.
Die Stadt Bacalar ist auch etwas ganz Besonderes. Es hat eine Geschichte, die über 1000 Jahre zurückreicht. Die Mayas, die Spanier und die Fluch der Karibik haben alle eine historische Rolle gespielt. Es gibt eine Steinfestung aus dem Jahr 1715, mit der die Stadt vor den skrupellosen Piraten geschützt wurde. Die Stadt verfügt über mehrere öffentliche Schwimmbereiche und einen zentralen Platz, der zum Erkunden einlädt. Es gibt viele kleine Restaurants, von denen einige sehr gut und alle sehr günstig sind.
Bacalar ist auch eine gute zentrale Lage, um einen anderen Teil von Mexiko zu erkunden. Sie können leicht die Costa Maya, viele verschiedene Maya-Ruinen, die kaum jemand gesehen hat, und die Hauptstadt Chetumal besuchen, die nur eine halbe Stunde entfernt ist. Sie sind auch sehr nah an der Grenze zu Belize und nur eine Fährfahrt von den Inseln von Belize entfernt.
Wir haben zwei Häuser auf dem Grundstück. Die Hauptwohnung ist ca. 1.400 m² groß und verfügt über eine Dusche, ein zweites Badezimmer, ein großes Schlafzimmer mit angrenzendem kleineren Schlafzimmer und insgesamt drei Betten. Schauen Sie sich das Video für Details an, da es einfacher zu sehen als zu erklären ist. Es gibt ein Wohnzimmer mit Mahagoni-Möbeln, einen kleinen Bürobereich und eine separate Küche, die sich in einem separaten Raum direkt vor der Haustür des Hauses befindet. Das Haus ist von drei Terrassen umgeben. Jede Terrasse ist mit einem Strohdach namens Palapa überdacht. Die Palapa-Markisen schützen die Terrassen vor Sonne und Regen. Sie werden wahrscheinlich mehr Zeit draußen auf den Terrassen verbringen als im Haus. Einzelheiten finden Sie im Video.
Es gibt einen zweiten kleineren Unterstand, eine kleine Strohdachhütte, die früher eine kleine Tanzfläche und ein Barbereich war, der von den früheren mexikanischen Eigentümern genutzt wurde. Wir nennen es die Laguna Casita, das kleine Haus am See. Es liegt direkt an der Küste und erhält so eine herrliche kühle Brise vom See. Toller Ort zum Abhängen.
Unser Grundstück hat auch einige Bäume, darunter sieben Royal Palms, zwei kleine Mangobäume, einige Bananenbäume, mehrere saure Orangenbäume, einen Avocado-Baum und vielleicht noch ein paar Bäume, die ich nicht aussprechen kann.
Um wirklich einen Überblick über diese Immobilie zu bekommen, schauen Sie sich bitte das Video an, das ich am 30. Januar 2015 aufgenommen habe. Sie können auf dieser Website darauf klicken.
Der Name Quinta Mai bezieht sich übrigens auf einen besonderen Ort, an dem sich drei Kinder namens Maria, Andrei und Isabella wohl fühlten. Mai ist die Abkürzung für die Namen der Kinder. Wir haben uns dafür entschieden, diesen Namen beizubehalten, weil unser Anwesen wirklich ein besonderer Ort für Kinder jeden Alters ist. Ich hoffe, dass Sie die Gelegenheit haben, es zu genießen. Es ist sehr schön und sehr speziell.

Have visited Bacalar many times. We have loved QM and i think the water is perfect to step into the lagoon from there as it is not deep. Excellent view and a well maintained garden by the property manager, Juan. Really attractive little property!
it is a bit far from the centre, away from the busy parts but you have to walk through hills up and down to get there so if older don’t recommend to walk. Also it is next to a boating company so can get noisy but overall it is really a paradise. If we had any needs the owner Mr Baumgaertner was just a call away to accommodate with any needs!
Really grateful to have stayed there with my loved ones! Thank you Mr Baumgaertner and Juan for your hospitality!

The dock and view were incredible. We would definitely stay again. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. The house itself is a bit quirky. All the beds are in one room so there would be no privacy. The kitchen is in a separate room from the house. These are not necessarily bad things, just something to know in advance. The boat company next door was not an issue at all. We even took a tour of the Laguna with them which was excellent! The dock and view is what makes this house amazing! My only real con is the water pressure. It is nonexistent and difficult to fully rinse shampoo and soap off your body!

This was a great place to stay and offered everything you needed. We loved our own private dock and water access! We also took advantage of the properties kayaks.
This was the first place I've rented through apps like this where the owner required us to sign a renting contract before visiting. It was almost too much writing and information. For example, when clicking on "directions" there was paragraphs I had to scroll through before finding the information I needed.
The property manager was very responsive. I read that there was boat ride business next door but we weren't bothered by them at all. I would recommend this stay and come here again!
3.0
The property is located on the Lagoon, which is great but lots of noise right next door from what I gather is a lake tour company with 5-8 pontoon boats and a barking dog. The interior needs updating. Overall though, I had a great time since the property is right on the water and a close bike ride into town for food.
5.0
The highlight of this property is the lake and wonderful dock. We used the kayaks and explored the area and enjoyed swimming. We also just enjoyed relaxing in the chairs by the water. The house itself was spacious. clean, although there is limited privacy inside because the bed areas are connected. Both the owner and property manager were helpful and responsive. No issues with the boat rental place next door- fairly quiet in the day. Highly recommend both the house and location.

The only draw back is the lack of privacy from the boat business next door. But other than that it is a nice place to stay. The lake is beautiful and the owners are great.

This place was truly a slice of heaven . We did not want to ever leave . The pictures do not due this place justice . It was beautiful . The lake was clear and warm , the dock was spacious ! Beautiful birds of all sorts .. we saw many different fish while snorkeling around and my son spotted a turtle ! The kayaks James left us where very much put to use … we explored the lake morning, noon and night ! Cenote Azul was only a 15 minute walk from the house . Highly recommend swimming there as well . James always responded quickly with any questions we had . His property assistant Juan was a gem . So friendly and helpful . Bacalar is a paradise .. and thank you for sharing . We will be back !!!

Plenty of room to relax quietly. The A/C would cool the whole place IF you closed off unused areas and positioned the fan properly. Actually turned the A/C a few days as the weather was so nice and the cross breeze was plenty with the windows and doors open. The next door neighbor dogs really only barked about 15 minutes just after the sun set...otherwise quiet all night. Really a lot of place for the price. DEFINITELY better than PACKED Tulum, The DayTourBacalar at 67 Coastera was a deal for a private boat tour of the Lagoon and in English!!!

This property is all about being a front lake property. The view is amazing, the dock is right there in the lake. This is the good aspect of the house.
Reality is that the property condition is outdated and in need of urgent maintenance. Shower barely worked, some furniture falling apart, paint stains on the jet tub that don't invite to use it.
The main room has an "add on room" that goes into the bathroom. That room/bed will hear everything that goes on in the bathroom.
If you are looking for privacy, this is not the place. Next door is a boat rental place. It is only separated by a little wall. You will see them, they will see you every day starting early in the morning and up to 9 PM or beyond when they end their evening watching TV.
Of course for that price, you get an amazing view. But that is it.
The owner and Juan Antonio (host on site) are great. Very responsive and ready to help. But there are things that are just what they are and I would not be truthfull on my review if I don't mention it.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location is away from all the noise but still has easy access to all the restaurants. We enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing dock the most. It’s a perfect spot for having a couple of drinks and taking a quick swim when it gets really hot....which it did. Everything we needed was there but we didn’t cook much. If we wanted to, we would have had what we needed. I saw a lot of previous reviews about the boat tour company being right newt door which I was concerned about because I also brought my dogs with me. But everyone that works there are very friendly and we didn’t have any problems with it. We actually did go on a tour with them and it was fantastic. Communication with the owner and propert manager was easy. If we visit Bacalar again, we will likely stay here again.

Great location just in front of the lake. The host Juan Antonio is great.
I highly recommend to take a boat tour which is just next to the property. You will discover the whole beauty of the lake. Great place !!

The lake is wonderful, the house comfortable, many pleasant outside nooks in which to lounge.BUT...the neighboring boat business has a just a low chicken wire fence a few yards away from the property line. All day long we hear the soap operas on their outdoor TV, buddies stop by, sometimes staying to party until 10. pm. If you want peace and quiet this is not the place unless you stay indoors with the fans and a/c on. Too bad, a tall and attractive wall would help, as well as dense vegetation planted alongside of it.

Beautiful house with garden right on the Lagoona
This place is truly amazing, with beautiful gardens, nice house worth plenty of places to sleep people, and plenty of places and spaces around the property to relax, enjoy a meal or adore the amazing colours of the Lagoona.
We loved or stay there and would go back again any time. The little stone hut at the water is stunning and we spend most of our time there enjoying the view.
Still there was a few little things I feel should be mentioned just to know what is to be expected.
There was neighbour dogs barking pretty much the whole night every night, but that is to be expected in towns in central America. The 3 dogs from the direct neighbour were mostly pretty good though.
Also the property next door is a business for boat tours, so there is people around, drivers and tourists constantly and there's not a high fence between the two properties so you'll be greeting people during your breakfast or when you are around the house. Closer to the water there's a better separation. Also there's all day boats coming and going from the neighbour property. The people that own that business are very friendly and respectful.. And if you want to take a boat tour you won't have to go anywhere 🙂.

Bacalar slice of paradise
This house is amazing! House is right on the beautiful lagoon de Bacalar which allows you to relax or swim in front of the house ( or hammock under the palapa and enjoy the breeze and view). Comes with a secure garage but there are a few sights within walking distance including Cenote Cocolitos and Cenote Azul. Walking into town is doable but is about 30-45 minute walk which we found enjoyable. There are some fantastic restaurants in town and some close by at the Cenote Azul or nearby hotels. The house is clean with ample space, well maintained and interesting architecture. Kitchen includes are the necessities for making meals (we went to a grocer in Chetumal ahead of time). FYI there is a boat tour company next door in which there are people walking by to and fro their boat tour. The men that run the tour are very nice (and their perros!) and I recommend taking a tour! We can't wait to come back - thank you, Jim, for a fantastic house!

Very nice place with direct access to the laguna
The location of the house could not have been better. We had our own dock leading to the incredible lagoon of seven colours. We enjoyed swimming and bathing all day long. Be sure to bring your hammocks to hang in the little beach house and book a tour with the guys next door to explore the secrets of the lagoon. Do not forget a good spray against the mosquitoes that appear in the dawn. Go strolling for the little town of Bacalar that offers excelentes options for food like e.g. La Playita or nip a very good coffee in the Toto Blue Café.
The beds were comfortable, the air condition was doing a very good job and the wifi was working fine.
The only thing that needs a little maintenance is the kitchen where water was leaking from the sink. The washing machine was not working. And some wasps intended to take over the palapa roof above the dining table.
But all in all nothing to worry about, a slice of heaven we found unexpectedly during our trip of Mexico.

Beautiful lake
Lake Bacalar is absolutely stunning! We loved downtown Bacalar as well, small, safe and very friendly locals. The location of the house with the dock going right out onto the water was great. The house is not as secluded as it leads on to be. There’s a boat tour company next door so there’s constantly groups of people coming in and out. The groups going on tours also swim in Quinta Mais private swimming area using the doc as well. There’s not a tall fence separating the properties so the lack of privacy is not ideal. The inside of the house gets very hot and stuffy unless your in the bedroom with the ac on. The house also seemed a bit neglected in regards to cleanliness. The lakefront location was definitely the highlight!

Beautiful house on the laguna!
This house was perfect for our group of 5 friends vacationing together. We especially enjoyed lying around on the dock, the beautiful water, the kitchen that allowed us to cook much of our food, and the spaciousness of the property. There are so many places to hang out and rest-- a front dining area, a back dining/table area, a casita by the laguna, and the dock-- that we all were able to get some quite alone time when we wanted, and also had enough space for groups dinners together.

Fantastic location...real taste of Mexico
Great vacation, in a great location...the lagoon is as stunning as the photos show. Bacalar is a real getaway from it all, and a chance to sample an area not fully on the tourist route. Great local food, great local people...and the Mayan ruins around the area are amazing.

Fabulous Christmas getaway...
Our family of 5 stayed at Quinta Mai for a week at Christmas - what a relaxing, enjoyable and gorgeous setting with the house, dock and casita. Quinta Mai offered gorgeous lakefront, fabulous swimming and enough house space, covered porches and nooks and crannies for everyone to find space. We love the town of Bacalar - from the friendly and welcoming locals, to the great restaurants and markets. We used Quitlnta Mai as our home base to explore the surrounding area - Cenote Azule, local Mayan ruins. torta cochinatas at Chepe's, a fabulous day enjoying the beach at Mahahual, great 3 hour paddle board tour from the Green Monkey Hoste,l and exploring Bacalar. We hope to be back again!

Quinta Mai, a piece of heaven in the earth
I meet Quinta Mai on 2011and I think since then each year we take two weeks for enjoying one of the most beautiful places in which I have ever been. The nature, the paceful, the presence of God is gorgeous. I remember the first time my daughter was about 7 years old and when she was playing in the water, a beautiful yellow fish came to her, and she could caress it as if it was a little pet, it was the first miracle in this beautiful place, we could take a delicious breakfast in front of the lake, later relax in a "hamaca" and later swim, you just can leave all the stress from job, from the city, from every day and return to yourself and feel son great with you, your family, your life again. My english is not so good. But I'm sure you can feel that after you try one time Quinta Mai, you will come back in every opportunity that you have as my family and I we do it. Thanks Jim and Peggy for been so great people and thanks for sharing your great Quinta Mai :)

Our Own Personal Heaven! Quiet, Secluded, On Water
This little bungalow was perfect for, we, three ladies traveling alone. The security gate kept us safe while we relaxed in the cottage or down by the lagoon in our own private Palapa. The big-overstuffed sofas and comfy beds allowed us to relax after busy days spent exploring the area.
A highlight of our trip was taking a pontoon boat ride out on the lagoon and down to the rapids - a perfect way to experience the 7 colors of the lagoon.

Peaceful Paradise
We had a wonderful time at Quinta Mai, our first trip to Bacalar. We rented a car and had no trouble at all finding the place and there are gas stations in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and three in Bacalar. You can get groceries in Playa at the Walmart or at the San Francisco grocery in Tulum. The property at Quinta Mai is beautiful - very quiet and peaceful. The lake is absolutely gorgeous! Go to Google maps and you can get a great view of the whole city of Bacalar and the road to the house. We enjoyed the many places to sit outside at Quinta Mai; whether is was watching the early morning sunrise, drinking our morning coffee, or eating a meal. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and has a full size refrigerator. At night we sat outside playing cards and loved the sound of the waves down by the dock. The bed was very comfortable, with nice linens. There is more than enough storage in the bedroom as well as the living room. We didn't use the TV or DVD player -- just sitting out at night taking in the stars was wonderful entertainment! We found some great restaurants in town - just a short 1-1/2 miles away. Visit El Barrill Grill a block up from town square, for craft beers and wonderful food. La Playita is on the shoreline of Laguna Bacalar, north of the fort, and is the #1 pick on Trip Advisor and once you eat there, you will see why. There is a great quesadilla place next to the town square, around the corner from a craft shop, as well as a great Italian/pizza place next door. We were very happy with Olga, the house manager, and impressed with the quick reply to our email questions. We rented a two-person kayak from her and paddled down to the south end of the lake to "the rapids" for a little day trip. Unfortunately we didn't know there is actually a little bar at this end, and we didn't have any money to buy a beer! We also kayaked around the edges of the cenotes (blue holes) on the lake, which was very interesting. It was wonderful to come back to the house and sit outside listening to the many birds chirping. We took a day trip to Chetumal, about 45 miles south, which is on the ocean. Go to El Taco Loco for a great lunch. There is also a Walmart there for any supplies you may need. We would highly recommend driving or taking the bus to Bacalar and staying at Quinta Mai, owned by Jim and Peggy Baumgaertner. Jim is quick to answer any questions and will offer make the rental process very easy and efficient.

Quinta Mai, great alternative vacation
This is a great beachfront house on Lake Bacalar, far off the beaten path, away from the crowds, hustle of the ocean resorts. In a small town of beach homes and resort hotels, a jewel of a location. Jim's place has a great dock and waterfront where I could spend days relaxing in the cool breezes over looking that stunning blue lake. Water is clear, clean freshwater. House has a palapa roof and hugh outdoor living spaces. property has fences around it for kids and pets, is beautifully gardened with tropical plants. I found 3 great restaurants in town. His local property managers are great and very responsive to your needs.
