Kulu Tubohostel Bacalar - 77930 Bacalar

Highly Instagrammable, cozy as can be, and the friendliest staff. It's an old cliche to say that one "feels like family" when they visit somewhere, but this has done exactly that. Breakfast is provided and varied each morning and I found the owners and guests alike treated me with warmth and conversation. Unfortunately my Spanish isn't perfect for maintaining the most flawless conversation, but no one faulted me for that. The tubes have plug-ins, air conditioning, hooks for hanging wet clothes, and ample bed space. I'm 5'11" and fit the length of the bed comfortably but if you are beyond 6'0" you might find it a tight squeeze. Remember it is a "Tubohostel" so the bathrooms are communal but that was never an issue for me. It's about a 2 mile walk to the Lake but I honestly enjoy my stroll. If you've rented a car or have bicycles you'll be there in no time.

This place will make you wish that you could call it home. The most amazing people and great food as well! Oh and the mezcal will change your life! I would give more stars but not possible.

Super friendly staff. Comfortable and quiet, a good sleep. Great eco concept, but the "rooms" are really small. REALLY small. Perhaps use longer culvert tubes in future? Should also have more convenient shelving/storage spaces. WiFi was very poor, often cutting out. Otherwise, an interesting choice! ?

Amazing hosts- super friendly and welcoming. Beautiful hostel, pool was nice and cold. Breakfast changed every morning which was nice! Free water, towels and bikes were truly appreciated. It's a bit of a walk to the Laguna but otherwise great.

Stayed two nights here. Loved the staff! Very nice hostel with tube-like rooms, community pool, bar, and free Wi-Fi. Abi, the owner, gave me a tour of of the laguna in Bacalar in his private boat. Tought me a little history of the charming little town. Will definitely try to come here again soon.

I´ve loved the place. The staff is very friendly. The location is quite far from the laguna, but manageable if you get there by car. The rooms are crazy. made with cement. if you are scared of tiny places, then it is not your type of hostel. every room has cold air and you can simply jump from your bed into the amazing swimming pool. If you are looking for a spartan location, then it is perfect, no unnecessary items, you great experience. There is also a restaurant inside.

The service is great the price is right, the restaurant and bar is really nice, the food is great, they have vegetarian options and non alcohol beverages. The staff is super friendly and cordial and the atmosphere is multicultural while still being Mexican. They also give recommendations and can clarify any doubts you may have about the area

I loved this little spot. The laguna is about 8 min on bike. The hostel provides bikes if interested and everything is really close by. We had our own bathroom and the water was warm. The restaurant was closed due to covid but we did have breakfast in the mornings. Would stay here again.
