Mayan Monkey Tulum - Social Hotel

This is the cleanest hostel I have stayed in. I loved the layout of the property. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was good and affordable. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. They have a group chat that keeps you updated on events and tours. I learned how to make a margarita, salsa dancing, took a bike tour, and tried out yoga, all for free. I will be returning in the future.

Wow, many things! Ok, as a world traveler I’ve lived and and slept in many places… and the Mayan Monkey is top of my list for amount of accommodations, level of service and overall vibe of the property. There’s a kitchen that’s well maintained, fridges for food or ingredients, 2 full cook tops , pots, pans, a dry storage area & clean filtered drinking water provided in mass. That’s just the kitchen. The property was under renovation while I was there, they were updating the paint and working on some finishing touch ups. The area stayed clean and open during the whole time except while the ceilings were being painted maybe a 24 hour closing of the common area. Punctual, efficient, welcoming. The rooms, there’s dorm with 12 bunks and some solo room options as far as I saw. The bunks are super nice. Very I want to say Japanese? Wooden overlay, outlet, night light, high quality privacy curtain, a shelf in the bed area for personal items, locker spaces designated to each bed number with an area for a personal lock. Cleaners come in every day to clean the floors toilets and showers, again very welcoming staff. The Bar, I was hesitant at first to hang out in the bar area but boy did that change once I gave it a chance. They host karaoke nights 2 times a week, beer Olympics once, a team contest, ladies night and 2 for 1 burger night (x2). A lot of shots are offered during the games as well, for singing karaoke, returning the beer pong ball and maybe a few others. This may change but it was my experience. There’s a pool directly connected to the bar, you can sit in it and drink at a poolside bar top! The pool is definitely a chillin pool in my opinion, maybe a meter and a half deep. Next! The sun beds, there’s tons of shaded spots and sunny spots for chilling or laying out.

Pedro from the reception was really helpful and nice person. He made us feel really comfortable asking anything. The rest of the staff was nice as well. The hostel is nice, a lot of activities at night and nice yard. The private rooms are generally good. Breakfast has a lot of options.

The structure is amazing! It doesn’t even look like a hostel. From the common areas to the bedrooms, it’s very impressive. They have activities during the whole day, which helps to connect. I also love the fact that they have a bar, a pool, a space for resting and a coworking area. The place is very spacious. The staff was really nice and there are places to eat nearby. Also, the included breakfast is great, with a lot of options.

So happy to stay here. I’ve been overnighting along other Mayan Monkey hostels and till now this is my favorite. First, it was my mistake and I booked in wrong dates so I contacted the hostel staff and they solved that, also, they respected the price besides my booking was on weekend. The place is cool, bedroom, architecture, furnitures, the walls, the location, facilities, excellent, and the best the breakfast. I’ve been in several hostels around the world and by now Mayan Monkey breakfast is the best, including the options, taste and price. I wanna return to this place.
