Very good location, around the corner from the two best breakfast spots in town. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and very safe hostel and area! Also they offer good tours and activities! It gets hot in Bacalar so having AC in the room for sleeping is so awesome.

Soo much fun. Activities every night, good party especially karaoke. Pool is clean and fun, just 5 min walking from lagoon and kitchen is big. Only dogs and cats are a bit annoying
