delmar hostal was an excellent stay in bacalar - the perfect base to explore. the owner, delmar, was friendly and helpful, giving great tips for activities in the area. the breakfast was delicious and the location was central. a fantastic experience in a beautiful place.

Chilly nights in the double bed.

Free breakfast cheers you in the morning. Perfect host❤

La Playita, located in front of the apartment was the reason for our outstanding evening. Our days here were amazing. We had can’t complain about anything and we would like to go back there again. It was close to dunosusa bacalar mercado.

Friendly and funny owner, delicious breakfast, great location near lagoon and restaurants, strong WiFi, comfortable bed.

I recently stayed at this amazing hostel for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. Delmar, the owner, was such a welcoming and friendly host, making sure I had the best time during my stay. The breakfast provided was absolutely incredible, with delicious scrambled eggs, refried beans, avocado, and fried plantain. The bed in my room/cabin was comfortable, and I had one of the best nights of sleep during my entire trip. The hostel only accommodates a maximum of 12 guests, which made it easy to connect with other travelers, and we even went on a cycling adventure together. The location is also excellent, just a short walk from the main park and other attractions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Delmar!

I do recommend this hotel.

our valintines day stay at Delmar was beyond expectations! the breakfast was delicious, the atmosphere friendly, and the location central. Delmar's hospitality exceeded our previous stay in Bacalar. highly recommend!

Noisy rooms lacked privacy.

We absolutely loved our stay with a sweet, well-traveled man who runs a camping side business. He is a tae kwan do teacher with 25 years of experience and was extremely helpful, friendly, and informative. He helped us set up sunrise kayaking and a tour of the lagoon for fair prices. The breakfast he prepared was next level and hands down the best breakfast we've had in a long time. The atmosphere at the hostel was great and the tents were surprisingly comfortable. Each tent also had a fan, which was necessary to stay cool while sleeping. The location was convenient, close to supermarkets and the beach. a steal of a deal and highly recommended!

All was perfect 👌

Great location near the lagoon and restaurants. There is a cute cafe next door where we enjoyed coffee and smoothies every day. The host was friendly and helpful, offering information about the area and arranging activities for us. We appreciated the free breakfast, which included delicious American pancakes or eggs with onions, tomatoes, avocado, and fried banana. The proximity to supermarkets and the beach was also a plus.

The amenities were not well-maintained, and the toilets being located near the common area where people eat was inconvenient. The security was inadequate, with a broken bicycle lock as the main gate lock.

Friendly host, delicious breakfast, good location, helpful advice, enjoyable conversations.

Nothing at all.

The value for money at this place was incredible, and the room/cabin I got was perfect for solo travelers. The location was very central, just a short walk from the main park, and the staff treated me like family.

The breakfast selection could use a bit more variety.

Delmar is an amazing host who serves a delicious breakfast, offers helpful advice, and provides a family atmosphere. The common area is lively with guests from all over the world. Delmar is fluent in both English and Spanish and is always available to chat while cooking. The hostel has a well-equipped kitchen and offers bikes and kayaks for rent. The location is central, close to the water and stores.

Felt special, no complaints whatsoever.

The location of the hostel is ideal, being close to the center but still quiet at night. Guests can easily explore the area as bikes are available for rent. The breakfast served at the hostel is substantial and delicious, with various options to choose from, including a vegan version.

Some guests mentioned that the lack of solid walls in the rooms resulted in disturbances from neighboring sounds and bugs entering the room.

The location is perfectly central, only a couple blocks from the water and there are stores on the corner. The rooms provide the needed amenities such as fans, wifi, and access to the kitchen. Additionally, the host, Delmar, goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable, offering a great family atmosphere and excellent conversations.

Dogs barking in the neighboring yard can be slightly noisy at times.

Delmar, the owner, was incredible. He gave us amazing tips, provided repair services, and even helped with sunburn. The breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented.

Felt very welcome, no reason to complain.

Delmar Hostal was a hidden gem in Bacalar. The breakfast prepared by Delmar and his wife was absolutely delicious, with an array of options to choose from. The atmosphere was welcoming and the common area provided a great opportunity to meet fellow travelers from around the world. Delmar went above and beyond to make sure guests were comfortable and even fixed any issues that arose during our stay. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the lagoon and close to the town center. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in Bacalar.
