    Can be a little noisy at night due to the nearby restaurants, but I’m a light sleeper and was able to sleep without issues. Still, bring some earplugs or pick them up at one of the pharmacies a few blocks away.

    Neat concept of a cross between a hotel and a hostel, well executed . You get a little tube room with a bed, ac, and not much else. Shared kitchen, bathrooms, hammocks , and some couches/tables which the staff keep exceptionally clean. The staff are great are welcoming and helpful. Almost feels like you’re in the jungle. But the icing on the cake is that they have 5 cats and 2 dogs who hang out in the common areas and who are good with people.

    while perfect for me when i was traveling solo, the tube was a bit cramped for two of us ;)

    what a fun place to stay. i visited this hostel several times a few years ago and wasn't sure what to expect. to my surprise it was just as great as it was years ago. it has even grown some, which was nice to see. the tubes are so cool - i want one in my yard! - super minimalist with just a bed, small storage under the bed, light, small shelf, and a/c. the common areas are all clean and well maintained. the included breakfast is lighter fare, so if you have a big appetite like me, it is really just a warm up until i get out to a full meal elsewhere. the staff was very helpful and thorough in their walk through giving us the run down of the place. a great place to stay for the minimalist and budget conscious

    The tubes are really uncomfortable for a couple. On a practical level, I had to put my clothes on outside the tube because it is so small you cannot do anything in them.

    Great location, kind staff and cozy common area with free water, tables and chilled cats.

    Like everything in Tulum it’s still expensive.

    I like that it was social but still allowed privacy for solo travelers. I personally found the tubes very comfortable and loved the ambiance. I also liked that they provided a good breakfast and affordable bike rentals. Also, loved all the pets.

    Right next to a highway so traffic noise was obvious. Cool rain. Cold night. We were in fetal position all night with one blanket. Mosquitos.

    Richard was very friendly, helpful. Designed with social space & kitchen by the front entry, garden in the center, and tubos around. Very quiet, peaceful, had almost all the hammocks & chairs to ourselves--couldn't tell how many people were there. Clean, comfy (actually, it was freezing--we should have asked for extra blankets). Bathrooms clean, charming. Bike rental for the beaches; close to supermarket giant Chedraui, too.

    Add a non-dairy milk option into the breakfast spread and more butter/marg :)

    These cozy and unique tubes are a one of a kind stay, amazing value for money. Your own in unit AC, bag storage under bed and a serene jungle courtyard. The staff and their friendly animals were charming and gave some amazing food, and activity recommendations. There was a power outage in Tulum during our stay and they reassured us, and it did not inconvenience us at all. This is a luxurious budget option for those looking for a bit more than a 12 bed mixed dorm.

    A lovely little oasis in tulum not to fare from the beach (Orthough a bike is good to have) and again the same in to the center. Both the double rooms & tubes are nice to sleep in. Friendly & helpful staff, felt like home.

    The hostel charges and extra $MX30 on top of the taxes they advertise when you get there. They need to add this to the taxes advertised. The rooms smell a little damp.

    Cute place, clean bathrooms and kitchen. Good social area. Loved the pets. Staff were friendly.

    The bikes we rented were very rusty and didn’t feel safe. One of the wheels was very wobbly and the tires were flat and we had to fill them with air.

    Very cozy place. Like a little jungle. Nice that you could borrow bikes. Also good kitchen and the location was great since it was in the middle between the ocean and the city. I recommend👏
