On Saturday, August 30, our flight was cancelled. We called and messaged the hotel to let them know we would be arriving a day late, but didn’t get a response. When we checked in, they put us in a room that was different from what we had originally reserved with no explanation and no discount. The pictures showed that we reserved a space with two rooms and a small patio with a view of the lagoon. The room we ended up in was fine and we liked the overall decor, restaurant and lounging area, but we feel that we didn’t get what we paid for. Hopefully there is a possibility of a partial refund.

I booked my stay at the Mayan Monkey Social Hotel/Hostel as I was traveling solo and the price was low. I chose a 12 bed female dormitory. I was initially placed on the first floor, however, I had an asthma attack; which I attributed to mold as I’m allergic and there was a musty smell on the 1st floor. When I explained that I had an allergy, staff reassigned my room to the 2nd floor. Once my room assignment changed, my symptoms subsided and I stayed for 10 days without issue. To be fair, I’ve stayed at other, high end hotels in Cancun and experienced similar issues with a musty smell and allergies. Cancun is humid, so mold is everywhere. I had a great experience, staff were friendly and helpful! I especially appreciated being able to store food and cook my own meals, The hotel is in the heart of the hotel zone, within walking distance of a fabulous supermarket, shopping mall, the flea market, shops, restaurants and the beach! There was free daily painting classes, yoga, games such as ping pong and beer pong, nightly entertainment and happy hour from 7-8 pm where drinks were buy one, get one free; at a cost of $180 pesos!! I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. The room, bathrooms and showers were clean and always available. My fellow roommates were respectful and quiet, I had no issues with sleep! I definitely will rebook the next time I travel solo! It was a great experience!

My Favorite Stay in Cancún! From the moment I checked in, I felt the good vibes! The staff are friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and modern, with plenty of lockers for your things. The location is perfect—right across from the beach and walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. I loved the bar and DJ nights; such a fun way to meet new people from all over the world. They even let you request a takeaway breakfast if you have an early tour, and the laundry service was a lifesaver before heading home. The pool area is perfect for relaxing in the afternoon, and the social atmosphere makes solo travel feel anything but lonely. If you’re looking for a place that’s safe, clean, and full of energy—Mayan Monkey is the spot!

Solo traveling first time ever in 20s I was worried before I left. What if I didn’t like it or felt unsafe? Right away after checking in I felt the reality of this place. Amazing experience. Where else can you find a place to stay this affordable with this high of a standard. My stay at the Mayan monkey was nothing short of amazing. The breakfast was ridiculously good. The staff were super helpful and I felt very safe and welcomed by everybody there. I even lost my AirPods and a staff member found me and returned them. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Bonus is the bathrooms are spotless.
