The property is really nice with pool, bar and kitchen all separated from the rooms. It helps when you want to relax as there’s literally no sound that you can hear from the party outside. The dorms were almost clean and they provide fresh towels anytime you need.

Eco flex shuttle from airport did not have my booking even though I paid via the Mayan monkey website and received a booking confirmation and funds were paid. I arranged w eco flex in person once arrived anyway since he staff there viewed the email confirmation from my phone and still arranged a prompt shuttle. Thanks to Roy at eco flex! I ended up booking directly with them for my return shuttle and it was cheaper than the hostel so still worked out. My king size private room had a leaking a/c unit for two nights before they moved me to a new room, which didn’t leak but had a water stain in the exact place the old one had leaked….so seems like the leaky units are common. The drinks and food were ok on site but limited options. I still ventured off site for novel and cheaper meals. I’m in my 40s and still managed to make great connections with other guests however I found the social events and vibe repetitive after only a few nights. Off site excursions were good but also somewhat confusing to arrange/bookings were made at front desk but sometimes confirmations were not provided to the visiting attraction or too many processes in preparation. I stayed in Tulum, I heard from others the Cancun location is even worse so I won’t bother visiting any other locations given the price of my private room could have been the same but with better service and quality at any other local hotel.

I had a lovely stay at Mayan Monkey Tulum! The breakfast was generous, fresh and always delicious, which was such a great way to start each day. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I’d especially like to thank Emmanuel, who kindly moved me to a quieter room when I asked – I really appreciated the care and quick response. As expected from a hostel, there’s a lively atmosphere with music and a DJ in the evenings (usually until midnight), but it was never a problem for me. It’s all part of the fun vibe, and the bar staff were always smiling and welcoming. What stood out to me most was how personal the experience felt. I was only there for five nights, but many of the staff remembered my name and even my breakfast order – a small gesture that made a big impact. They also offered free guacamole and margarita classes, which were a fun bonus. My private room genuinely felt more like a hotel than a hostel – clean, stylish, and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation. The location is central, and they offer bike rentals and paid excursions, which makes exploring Tulum really easy. I would absolutely recommend Mayan Monkey to anyone visiting Tulum – whether you’re looking to meet new people or just enjoy a few days in a vibrant and welcoming space.

First off I will never stay in Tulum, Mexico again!! The federali police are everywhere!! You can’t even enjoy the beach in peace! The hostel is about 40 minutes away from the airport. Ride the bus its alot cheaper than a taxi or anything else! The bus is about $12 compared to the $50-$60 the taxis will try to charge you. You will catch the bus into town then catch a taxi from the bus station to the hostel which will be about another $12. The hostel has so many steps to climb with no elevators! I hated it! It is NOT disabled friendly! So if you have issues with walking I wouldn’t do it! I had to carry my luggage up and down leaving and coming. An absolute nightmare! I rented a scooter for a couple days to get around. They have tons of rental places to choose from so choose wisely! The beaches are far so you will need some form of transportation. But the beaches suck right now because they stink really bad because of the seaweed. They say this time of the year its like that. People will try to cheat you out your money if you don’t understand spanish or pesos so be aware! The hostel is mostly for a younger crowd. Book at your own risk! It is really clean! The housekeepers are wonderful!

Beautiful solo room that felt more like a hotel, but plenty of opportunities to make friends at the pool and bar. Some games and events at the bar to make friends. Restaurants nearby. Nightlife you do need cabs mostly. Bathroom was nicer than mine at home! Enjoyed my time. Would consider other Mayan Monkeys.
