Amazing Place to Truly Disconnect

I brought my mom here for a little girl’s get away. This place is amazing we were here 8 nights and we saw all kinds of people stay here. Singles, couples and families and there was definitely something for everyone. Hobies on site activity directors were amazing. Ask for Gustavo he is so attentive and will make sure that you or your little ones have fun and are comfortable on the kayaks or paddle boards which are FREE btw. I can’t say enough about this place. Food great. Service amazing. Just completely exceeded our expectations! Will definitely be coming back!

A stay in Paradise ?

Reviewed By indrav2021

One of the best places I've ever stayed at. This place has just an amazing vibe and is located directly in front of the lagoon. The garden is super beautiful and from the Yoga Shala you have a stunning view at the lagoon. The vegan restaurant just serves natural and fresh food. I could die for the smoothies and my body feels rejuvenated after the stay in Lulú la Bruja. The staff is always in a good mood creating an atmosphere to simply feel welcome and comfortable. All together I can highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast ?

Scandalous staff and hygiene:

Reviewed By gustavegregoire

Shameful hygiene! Dirty sheets, no pillow cases, toilets and showers not cleaned during our three days of stays. Even the breakfast is dirty, with flies and hairs in the jam. The staff is even more deplorable: no smiles during the stay but nervous to the point of yelling at customers when they do not understand a request formulated in English! For example, they prefer to watch a series on the front desk computer rather than turning on the air conditioning before 10 at night, which makes it impossible to be in the room before that time. And they are also stingy to the point of tripping the air conditioning every morning at 6 a.m. which makes the rooms stuffy from 7 a.m. I rarely write comments but this is really unheard of I only mentioned a few things but for example a member of staff came into our room at 2am the first night! and when we surprised him asking what he was doing he told us he was "checking that everything was ok" and left straight away. I can only advise against this place. A star for the garden which is nevertheless nice. Please note: towels are charged per day and additional costs if you have more than one piece of luggage per person or if you leave your luggage in storage for a few hours after your check out.

Reviewed By frankcarr24

Great little hostel, the use of bikes to get around is included in the rate, breakfast is basic, social hostel but quiet at night and in a good location close to the centre and the lagoon. They also have they’re own pier to rent kayaks and pedalos.

Muy hospiralario

Reviewed By Citlabe10

Es un lugar modesto e ideal si viajas solo, los encargados son muy amables, yo viaje sola y me trataron súper. Incluso me cambiaron de habitación a una mejor y me apartaron un día más, además me cobraron menos y me dieron toda la información necesaria para visitar lugares en Bacalar... Recomendable si andas solo y no quieres gastar mucho...

Cayuco Maya

Un lugar maravilloso

Reviewed By sdemisterio

Mi amiga Romina y yo buscábamos un lugar tranquilo donde comenzar a disfrutar de nuestras vacaciones en la península de Yucatán y fuimos a parar al Cayuco Maya en nuestros primeros días, siguiendo la recomendación de un amigo mejocano por su buena relación entre calidad y precio. El Cayuco está situado a unos 15 minutos en coche del pueblo llamado Bacalar, en un precioso paraje entre la selva y la laguna que recibe el mismo nombre. Hemos pasado unos días estupendos allí, donde hemos tenido la suerte de conocer a Miguel (su propietario), además de a sus hijos y a algunos amigos, quienes nos han tratado con una enorme amabilidad. El precio de la cabaña (hay cabañas de varios tipos y precios) incluye un delicioso desayuno y, además, hay un restaurante para aquellos que no quieran desplazarse. El último día de nuestra estancia pudimos disfrutar de una bonita excursión en kayac por los manglares que hay al otro lado de la laguna. Recomendamos muchísimo este lugar a aquellas personas que busquen una experiencia única, rodeados de bonitos paisajes y bellas personas.
