Not for the Squeamish

Overall, it’s not a bad place, but I didn’t expect that staying in the mixed dormitory would mean being woken at 4 in the morning by drunk people who felt the need to drag a mattress off the curtained bed and have loud sex in the middle off the room where everyone could see them. Even for a hostel style accommodation in Cancun, that was over the top. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Great hostel

Have not stayed in a hostel since college, but it was the last minute the night before I go to the airport place to stay…. and it surpassed my opinion of what I thought it would be. Everybody was quiet in the actual room and respectful, but yet there is social Experiences if wanted, food nearby and everybody was kind and drinks were Great for nice price

Great location, nice people

In the beginning, I was scared when I realized I would stay in a room with other unknown people and men; I am a woman. After the first day, I felt comfortable already. The people in the room were friendly, quiet, and respectful. The front desk employees were very nice and helpful. And there is a sweet Dave. The location is great for the budget.

Enjoyed my stay

The best thing about this Hotel is the location. It is right across the street from a really nice beach. The bunk bed was clean and properly assigned. I think they can reiterate the ground rules for the dorms when checking in. Lots of opportunities to socialize. I enjoyed my stay.
