Koala Bungalows offers a charming escape nestled along the serene shores of Santa Maria del Oro Lake in La Laguna, Nay., Mexico. This laid-back retreat boasts a solid 4.4-star rating, reflecting a well-rounded guest experience marked by affordability and natural beauty. Located just 10 km from the El Real de Acuitapilco waterfall and within reach of Federal Highway 15D, it provides easy access to outdoor adventures and local attractions.
The property stands out as a pet-friendly haven, accommodating travelers who want to bring their furry companions along. Guests appreciate the camping zones that offer spectacular views and well-maintained facilities such as clean toilets and showers. While the rooms themselves maintain a rustic charm with kitchens in some units, the lack of Wi-Fi and air conditioning underlines its appeal to those seeking genuine disconnection and immersion in nature.

Conveniently located stores nearby enable guests to easily buy essentials like beer, ice, and firewood, enhancing the camping experience without hassle.
Koala Bungalows shines by blending simplicity with comfort. Free parking, kid-friendly spaces, and a smoke-free environment add layers of ease and relaxation. However, travelers should note that the hotel does not offer breakfast, airport shuttles, or fitness centers, reinforcing its role as a restful, unplugged refuge rather than a conventional luxury stay.

It invites visitors to slow down, breathe in the fresh lake air, and reconnect with the outdoors. For anyone seeking an authentic lakeside getaway with the warmth of a pet-friendly atmosphere and engaging local flavors, Koala Bungalows promises an experience that lingers in the heart long after departure.

Pet friendly, I haven't stayed in the rooms only camping, cheap price to camp. Good food hotel restaurant. Stores at walking distance to buy beers, ice, and wood for a fire.
Amazing view from the border camping zone, nice price $100 per day, you have access to toilets and showers, that are kept clean.
Great place. The lake is beautiful, the hotel is very affordable and the food in "la mojarra" is really good, I recommend the capirotada desert and the margaritas. The hotel is pet friendly, just take care of your pets, I saw some guests that were absolutely careless about their dogs and management had to call them out (understandably). 10/10 will go again.
