bacalar lagoon - worth the tour?

[davy jones]

This place looks interesting.  Is it worth taking an excursion to the Bacalar (Blue, Seven Colors) lagoon?  Is the "lazy river" tubing good?

I went to Bacalar in combination with Chacchoben on a Native Choice tour in September. Bacalar was definitely worth the visit to me (as was Chacchoben if you like ruins). It was peaceful and quiet in the September off season. Our tour group of 15 or so had the place to ourselves. Clean facilities. I loved it. There were kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, but no lazy river tubing where we were.  Bring water shoes - bottom is quite rocky.

Were there food and drinks? I heard the resort had closed? What facilities were available?
