It truly felt like home, nestled within a beautiful tropical garden. It offers the perfect balance of socializing and relaxation—I love meeting wonderful people, and the quiet time after 11 PM is both respected and appreciated. The shared kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare healthy meals. It's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The location is also ideal—right in the center of Tulum, just a five-minute walk from the ADO station. The staff and owner are absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate an important meeting I had, and I’m so grateful for their kindness. Highly recommend!
