Carretera Cancun - Tulum 121, 77760 Tulum, Mexico – Great location - show map

We can't wait to go back. A great find for a Hostel with Privacy and Value. The staff catered to our every need and always met us with a smile. For the price you pay, you get equal value of food, drink, bike rentals, and excursions of equal value. We didn't even get close to using it all. Great food, good drinks, comfortable accommodation and close to the ruins and beach. Highly Recommended!!!

The property staff was really friendly and helpful at all times. The place had everything you need with a huge pool that you can enjoy at any time and good food. We even got a concert during the week we stayed here, which was a lot of fun. You also get to know other people who are staying in the hostel. Really good vibes.

I actually stayed in their bungalows next door, which were super nice! Rooms are clean, well maintained, and a lot of areas to hang out. Also met the staff and had a few drinks and they were all super nice and friendly, would definitely recommend!

Taylor

United States of America

Friendly and helpful staff. My first tour company flaked on me. Hostel was able to find me another tour right away. Very efficient. Food was good. Room was basic but functional. Loved the credit system. As a hostel, they are doing a good job.

Edmond

United States of America

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and it’s true, the food is very good! By far the best value was getting credits for food, drinks and tours. I don’t drink alcohol so I was able to eat at least 2 meals a day there and do TWO tours on my credits!! I was not expecting that!
