+ It is a cheap option

- The staff wasn’t there and I felt very unsafe in the night. The hostel should secure the main entrance better!!!

+ Friendly staff. Food options just around the corner.

- The place seems to be still In a building phase. It feels a bit unfinished but things work. Outdoor seating area could be improved.

Loved this hostel! The family who runs it are so nice and helpful. The location is great with walk distance to a cenote and to the beach where you can snorkle with turtles. You have great local and streetfood options around the corner and small supermarkets, and two fruitmarkets. Really calm and cozy vibe on the hostel as well as the area. Would definitely come back here! ⭐️

A great place to stay! Definitely can recommend - the room and bathroom is clean, with lockers provided, AC, the kitchen is well-equipped, and hosts very attentive! Felt like home.

Verzorgde accomodatie, ontzettend lieve vrouw. We mochten in hun keuken koken etc. Alle stranden in de buurt kosten wel geld, maar dat staat los van de accomodatie.

Nobody at the reception for the check-in, a man from a shop next to the hostel helped me screaming the owners name and a lady eventually came out. The area feels very unsafe, I felt scared for most of the time. Wifi pointless, kitchen is a stove and a fridge next to the street, lockers not possibke to actually close because already been broken in. If you are a female solo traveler like me I wouldn't recommend this place.

The shared room was like brand new! Very comfortable, and the hot water never ran out (odd in Mexico). I especially enjoyed hanging out on the upper balcony and watching the street below, pure and real Mexico--kids flirting, an older couple visiting in chairs while taking in the evening breeze, someone swinging on a hammock watching TV, the cutest family of soft-haired playful dogs that greeted every one they new with joy, families walking together, and an amazing sunset with birds singing.

+ Heerlijk rustig verblijf in leuk klein plaatsje . Makkelijk naar strand en leuk plaatselijk leven te zien. In dorp leuke goedkope restaurantjes.

- Er wordt nog verbose dus beetje rommelig en keuken erg rommelig.

+ La chambre est spacieuse

- Hôtel en construction, la cuisine n'est pas propre, nous n'avons pas tenté de faire à manger. Beaucoup de bruit la nuit, les chiens aboient très très souvent et réveillés par le bruit des travaux. Nous regrettons d'avoir payé pour 2 nuits.

+ Lo utilizamos solo un día para descansar ya que queríamos conocer Akumal y nadar con tortugas . Queda cerca de todo en coche, la habitación limpia y comoda , aún que las instalaciones exteriores , un poco descuidadas y le falta limpieza . La chica que nos atendió amable. Relación precio calidad muy buena

- Falta de orden y limpieza en las instalaciones externas como la cocina . Hay muchas cosas pero desordenadas y sucias .
