The Edit: Kinal is the restaurant inside Khaban Bacalar Hotel on Bacalar Lagoon, with some of the best lagoon views in Bacalar, and our family loved eating there all week. The menu covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, from chilaquiles and pancakes in the morning to guacamole, hummus, tacos, salads and surf ‘n’ turf later in the day, plus a tiramisu we highly recommend. The kids menu is limited but has a chimichanga and chicken nuggets with fries. Kinal has a full bar, Victor’s margaritas were perfect every time, and the Antiox juice was a favorite. If you order food you can use the pool and hotel amenities, which makes it a great budget way to enjoy lagoon time without staying at the hotel, so bring your bathing suit.

The Kinal Restaurant, located inside the Khaban Bacalar Hotel, offers some of the best views of the Bacalar Lagoon. Our family loved dining there all week. It’s a perfect spot for everyone to enjoy!

You can enjoy your meal under the main palapa roof dining area, or choose a table just outside by the pool, shaded with an umbrella. One of my favorite spots is the table under a large tropical tree right by the water’s edge—it’s such a peaceful spot!

You’re allowed to enjoy the amenities if you order food at the restaurant. It’s a great way to get in some pool and lagoon time if you’re on a budget and can’t stay at their hotel.
