We absolutely loved our stay here at Ukayil, the room was MASSIVE and very comfortable with all amenities you need, even a coffee maker, plates and cutlery. The A/C was amazing, the room is decorated nice, check-in was a breeze with little lock-boxes to collect keys after hours. The bathroom and shower were very good too and there was lots of space to hang clothes inside and also a washing line outside too. The location was quite good too, it's about 15 minutes to walk into the centre from here, which is not bad, and you definitely don't need a taxi to the centre or to the boat jetties or free municipal swimming area - they are all walkable. But it may be a bit far for some - but taxis are cheap if you need them. The taxi to the ADO station from here was ~mx$40. The host was also very helpful and nice, bringing us blankets when we first checked in, and then helping us arrange a taxi to the ADO station to leave on the last day. Overall, this property is probably the best value for money place we've stayed in this whole trip through Mexico, given the comfort and size of the room, walking distance to centre and great price, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thanks for having us!!

The hostel is beautiful, right in front of the laguna. People are so nice and volunteers also helped me a lot when i lost something. The breakfast is good, with fresh fruits, coffee or tea and toasts. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, and common areas are nice and relaxing.

Amazing hostel, i was in Bacalar 3 times and had the chance to sleep in three different rooms! They were all great and very comfortable. I loved the decor. The staff is super kind and helpful, and the cute dog Brownie is the newest. Would go back any time

The staff, Ruby and Rien are wonderful, friendly, helpful and fun to chat with. The roof-top terrace is where I watched the sun rise in the mornings and had an evening smoke, the location is excellent.

    Nice hostel with a great location, good vibe, very friendly and helpful staff. Especially Humberto went the extra mile and printed out some needed papers outside the hostel. Excellent service.

    Very nice social hostel. Lots of activities. I booked one night to make friends and after I stayed at a cheaper place but you can still walk into the hostel and participate with activities, as its also opened for restaurant or party guests. Also great location.

    The hostel is well taken care of, great location, clean, social activities. Just on the water, nice place to chill. Big lockers, friendly helpful staff, felt really safe also. Nice restaurant but a bit overpriced.
