Yes, any tips for both would be great. Also tips on the best way to get there

I think the easiest way to get there is by ADO bus or car. The bus costs between 170 and 250 MXN pesos one way and takes 3.5 - 4hrs from Playa. Depending if you are there by car or bus I would recommend a hostel/hotel in Bacalar or more outside. Green Monkey for example is a great hostel. Or Villas Bakalar a good hotel.
If you stay at a hostel make sure you get all your food and stuff before night. A lot of the supermarkets close really early.
