the property has amazing views and is right by the lagoon, offers a lot of activities (the lagoon is « resting » on Wednesdays so nothing is happening but the hostel organises events during the day and a massive party on the evening so you won’t get bored) the rooms aren’t massive but they have good views too, the bathrooms are amazing and the beds are pretty comfortable ! the staff is super friendly, would highly recommend

Great Hostel for solo travelers with lots of activities (Jade made sure that it never got boring 😁) I was in the capsule room that was very nice for some extra comfort/ privacy, lots of showers/ bathrooms so there was never a queue even though it was fully booked

My stay at Elmar was just amazing! The place is really beautiful and well crafted, the shared room is spacious, gives a very nice sense of privacy and the beds are really comfortable. The team is just the sweetest, they really help in making the place special and welcoming for everyone. I loved how it is a very calm hostel, but allows for a very social atmosphere. Definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in <3

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!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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.
