Attractively located in the centre of Playa del Carmen, SUUT Hostal Boutique features air-conditioned rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is around 2.7 km from Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal, 49 km from Xel Ha and 35 km from Kantenah Bay. The hostel provides a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. This was probably the best hostel I stayed during my 1-month trip in Mexico. The hostel is more like a hotel, well located, comfortable and clean. The staff was extremely helpful too!

Located in Puerto Morelos, 33 km from ADO International Bus Station, Hostel Humanity - Puerto Morelos provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First time for us in Mexico , we really appreciated the warm welcome and all the helpful advice given to us by our hosts . Benjamin and Morgane’s philosophy is to offer local tips and support to travelers. They also reach out to the local community for their unusual trips such as beach cleaning and dog shelter visiting . We tried salsa dancing and a visit to a lesser known Cenote . Totally recommended. The hostel itself is very comfortable- we had a double room with shared kitchen and beautiful garden with a little pool . The location was great walking distance to a lively little park where it was easy to pick up street food , a few restaurants and a local bus colectivo to the beach . Here there are lots of boat trips to go fishing or snorkelling on the coral reef . Puerto Morelos is an ideal first or last stopping point for Cancun airport about 25 minutes away .

It truly felt like home, nestled within a beautiful tropical garden. It offers the perfect balance of socializing and relaxation—I love meeting wonderful people, and the quiet time after 11 PM is both respected and appreciated. The shared kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare healthy meals. It's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The location is also ideal—right in the center of Tulum, just a five-minute walk from the ADO station. The staff and owner are absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate an important meeting I had, and I’m so grateful for their kindness. Highly recommend!

The property is located 5.5 km from Tulum Archeological Site, 1.4 km from Tulum Bus station and 4.8 km from Bus station Tulum Ruins. The accommodation provides karaoke and a shared kitchen. Exceptional Stay – Truly a Hidden Gem in Tulum! 🌴🌟 I had an amazing time at Maui Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home. Everyone was super friendly, helpful, and full of great recommendations for exploring Tulum. The vibe is relaxed and social, perfect for meeting fellow travelers without feeling like a wild party hostel. The rooms and common areas were immaculately clean and well-maintained. The beds were super comfortable with privacy curtains and personal lockers – ideal for getting a good night's sleep. The air conditioning was a lifesaver after hot days out. What really sets Maui Hostel apart is the atmosphere – chill but fun. The rooftop is a perfect spot to unwind with a drink or catch sunset. They also offer bike rentals, which made it super easy to get to the beach and around town. I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world, and Maui is definitely one of my favorites. It has the perfect balance of comfort, community, and location. Can’t recommend it enough – wish I could’ve stayed longer!
