    Just stayed at this hotel by the beach with an amazing view from the balcony. The included breakfast with delicious pancakes was a highlight. Would DEFINITELY choose this place again! The swimming pool was even better in person!

    Omg, guys! the view from the balcony was chef's kiss, right across the beach! 🌊🌴 breakfast with pancakes was included. 😋 Only downside was the small room.

    Unfortunately, my experience at Mayan Monkey Cancun was disappointing. The pool was small, and the lagoon side felt dreary. While the tacos were good, the noise at night was disruptive. On the bright side, the location was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    The sensory journey through Mayan cosmology was mind-blowing. Exploring the arch's 9 points felt like a treasure hunt. Immersing myself in the cenote and snorkeling in the reef was pure magic. Meeting adventurers from around the world was a blast. The underworld guide tour was a wild ride. Celebrating with old friends under clear skies was heartwarming. Sharing family recipes was a treat. And let's not forget the fun-filled pool and bar—a perfect recipe for a good time!

    The hostel is in a prime location near all the action and buses that run through the main zone, rooms are clean, and staff is super friendly. They have a cool vibe with plenty of activities to suit everyone's taste poolside lounging and live entertainment - great for chilling out after a day of exploring. Just a small heads up, music from nearby clubs can get a bit loud at night, but nothing earplugs can't fix. Overall, a solid choice for a fun, vibrant stay! 🌴

    Mayan Monkey offers a delicious breakfast with fresh juice and fruit, perfect to start the day. the hostel's location right by the beach provides a fantastic opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. the presence of a public bus stop outside the hostel adds to the convenience for travelers.

    No complaints.

    The homemade rolls at the dining facilities were a flavorful treat. Great location for exploring the bustling area nearby.- Enjoy meeting fellow travelers in the social atmosphere.

    Room over the bar area lacked sound insulation, impacting sleep quality. Limited wifi coverage in certain rooms.

    During my stay at Mayan Monkey Cancun for a business trip, I thoroughly enjoyed the recreational amenities at this adult-only hotel. The outdoor pool provided a refreshing escape after a long day of work, and the option to rent bicycles allowed me to explore the area in a leisurely manner. It was a delightful way to unwind, making my business trip feel more like a relaxing getaway.

    Lack of amenities and poor customer service.

    The Mayan Monkey had a vibrant atmosphere with friendly staff organizing activities, making it easy to meet fellow travelers. The location by the beach and nearby attractions was fantastic. However, cleanliness in the dorms and bathrooms was lacking, and noise levels could disrupt sleep. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

    The beach proximity was fantastic; Loved the comfy rooms and fun activities. Tacos were a hit, but music was a bit loud. Bartender overcharged, but the co-working space was cool. A mixed experience but worth considering for a beach stay.

    The location of Zona Hotelera was perfect for my visit to the Mayan Monkey. The 24-hour front desk staff spoke both English and Spanish, making communication easy and efficient. Additionally, the guided tour at Coba & Tulum with a traditional buffet food was a fantastic experience.

    Pushing tips all the time!!

    I chose Mayan Monkey for its proximity to the bustling Zona Hotelera. However, the staff at the 24-hour front desk pleasantly surprised me with their fluency in both English and Spanish, which made communication effortless. The guided tour at Coba & Tulum exceeded my expectations with its traditional buffet food, providing an enriching cultural experience.

    Staff should be more supportive.

    The staff was so helpful and friendly, and my room was spacious and comfy with great AC, just what I needed in the heat. The bar area was awesome for chilling and meeting new people, especially helpful since I was traveling solo. The only thing that bugged me was having to return my blanket and towel at checkout, a hassle if you're a solo traveler with a lot of stuff already. 🌴

    Mayan Monkey Cancun was one of the best hostels I’ve visited, with fantastic facilities, entertainment, and activities. The property was beautiful and clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great, offering a fun atmosphere and excellent breakfast. Unfortunately, beware of overcharging issues. Relaxation was enhanced by the swimming pool, while nearby landmarks like Coco Bongo and Playa Lagarto added to the family bonding experience.

    my time at mayan monkey was extraordinary. from the welcoming staff members like maria, marcos, diego, and jazmin to the vibrant bar atmosphere, every moment was delightful. the property's convenient location by the laguna and beach made it a perfect choice. with two showers, two toilets, and two sinks in the room, the convenience was unmatched. the communal activities facilitated friendly interactions, and the nearby beach was serene. looking forward to returning soon! thanks, mayan monkey!

    Nothing could have been better! 😊

    The recreational opportunities at the hotel were stellar. I participated in complimentary salsa and yoga sessions, and oh boy, did I find my inner salsa dancer! Even after all the fun, I was able to relax by the outdoor pool, taking in the perfect atmosphere with free-spirited energy flowing all around.

    Lack of luggage tags.

    My stay at Mayan Monkey was wonderful. the hostel was beautifully furnished with a vibrant bar and common area. the dorms were spacious and had essential air conditioning. the friendly staff organized enjoyable activities, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from a lovely beach.

    Our visit to Tulum, Coba, and the traditional cenote in a one-day adventure was truly unforgettable. The guided tour provided insightful historical context, and the swim in the cenote was a magical experience, allowing us to connect with the ancient Mayan traditions and history. Additionally, the complimentary salsa and yoga sessions, live music, and karaoke nights added a fun and lively atmosphere, creating an unforgettable vacation experience for romance and adventure.

    In my wife's opinion, more child-friendly activities could enhance the experience for families.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of the hostel with its regular parties and friendly staff who were always willing to help. the central location in the hotel zone was convenient for exploring Cancun's surroundings. However, noise levels and some services like breakfast could be improved for a more comfortable stay.

    During our visit to Cancun to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and nearby entertainment venues, we stayed at a lively hostel in the heart of the hotel zone. The spacious rooms were well air-conditioned, providing a comfortable retreat after a night of fun. The hostel's central location made it convenient for exploring nearby beaches, clubs, and shopping areas. The hostel's pool area offered stunning sunset views, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. The friendly staff added to the overall positive experience, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for a vibrant atmosphere.

    I recently stayed at Mayan Monkey for a week-long backpacking trip and it had everything I needed. The hostel is centrally located, with easy access to a stunning beach just across the street. The staff made me feel incredibly welcome during check-in and the rooms were clean and comfortable, with private beds and curtains for added privacy. The hostel offers a range of activities, from cooking classes to yoga on the beach, and the on-site restaurant serves delicious food. I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel for any traveler.

    The location of the hotel was great, with easy access to the beach just a minute away. Also, having a supermarket with an ATM just across the road was really convenient. Another advantage was the modern and clean design of the hostel, making it a visually appealing place to stay.

    I found the staff at the reception to be unfriendly, which put a bit of a damper on my experience. Additionally, the service staff was slow to serve drinks, resulting in long wait times.

    During our stay, we were pleasantly surprised by the prime location of the hotel. It was just a short walk to a beautiful beach, where we spent many relaxing days soaking up the sun. Additionally, we discovered that the hotel was conveniently situated on the bike path, making it easy for us to explore the Jardin del Arte, located about 4 km away from the hotel. The proximity to these attractions allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of the city.

    While the amenities and location of the hotel were great, we did experience one small inconvenience during our stay. The bed in our double room was rock solid and far from comfortable.

    This hotel boasts an exceptional location, right across the road from an amazing beach and a well-stocked supermarket on the other side of the street. The room and bathroom are clean and spacious with comfortable beds, and the staff provide super nice service. The breakfast is quite basic, but you can upgrade to get other options like eggs and beans. The pool area offers great views of the sunset and lounge facilities in a crowded place.

    The noise levels of the bar area can easily disturb those who want a peaceful time.

The rooms with a lagoon view were absolutely stunning, with two comfortable double beds and a balcony to enjoy the view. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any request. I also appreciated the fact that breakfast was included, a great way to start the day.

    Immersed in Mayan cosmology, I connected with horses, snorkeled in sacred waters, and explored archeological zones. Made new friends from around the world and had a blast.

    Oh, I just loved loud noises from the street, airco, and music, especially at night. It was such a soothing lullaby.

    We went on a sick guided tour to visit Tulum and Coba. The Cenote we swam in was off the hook, just like straight out of a movie. The complimentary salsa and yoga sessions, live music, and parties were dope. The ATV night tour was so romantic, and the beach and mountain views were epic!

    Yo, only thing I'd say is, it'd be even more hype if they had more activities for party animals like us!

    The hotel's decoration was lovely, with vibrant colors and cozy seating areas that were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. The general areas were well-maintained and had easy accessibility for senior people, with wide and well-lit corridors and comfortable seating available throughout the property. It was reassuring to see that the hotel was mindful of the needs of senior guests, making it easier to move around and enjoy the surroundings.

    I would ask for a better vacation for senior people if the children of the staff could assist in organizing more cultural and leisure activities suited for the mature guests.
