Mayan Monkey Tulum - Social Hotel features a restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, a bar and garden in Tulum. With a terrace, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides entertainment staff and a shared kitchen. 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.

Maui Hostels Tulum features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Tulum. The property is located 5.5 km from Tulum Archeological Site, 1.4 km from Tulum Bus station and 4.8 km from Bus station Tulum Ruins. The accommodation provides karaoke and a shared kitchen. Exceptional Stay – Truly a Hidden Gem in Tulum! 🌴🌟 I had an amazing time at Maui Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home. Everyone was super friendly, helpful, and full of great recommendations for exploring Tulum. The vibe is relaxed and social, perfect for meeting fellow travelers without feeling like a wild party hostel. The rooms and common areas were immaculately clean and well-maintained. The beds were super comfortable with privacy curtains and personal lockers – ideal for getting a good night's sleep. The air conditioning was a lifesaver after hot days out. What really sets Maui Hostel apart is the atmosphere – chill but fun. The rooftop is a perfect spot to unwind with a drink or catch sunset. They also offer bike rentals, which made it super easy to get to the beach and around town. I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world, and Maui is definitely one of my favorites. It has the perfect balance of comfort, community, and location. Can’t recommend it enough – wish I could’ve stayed longer!

The rooms have air conditioning, and some units at the hostel have a balcony. The hostel is amazing! I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm and it was all very good - it was not the main travel time when I was there, that's why it was not really full, so we were just max. 2 people in my room! There is a big and well equipped kitchen, an amazing pool on the rooftop and also a great chill out area on the roof (perfec for yoga for example) The staff is very nice and helpful Amazing location (its a small town and the hostel is in the center)
