Enjoyed our stay. Staff were super friendly and outgoing. Special shoutout to Miguel and Dave. Only disappointing thing was that the hostel no longer has social events at the hostel itself, and that the social area closes around 11pm

I haven't stayed at a hostel in quite some time but this was perfect for me for one night. The staff was great and super accommodating - I also really enjoyed the food (was actually surprised by this) and happy hour! What sold me was it's close proximity to the beach - all around great stay!

Beautiful view with pool, bar, foods, some workout equipment and necessities like sunscreen, water, etc available for purchase at entrance. Free yoga classes, activities and welcome drinks to open connection between other hostel guests and/or staff. Air conditioned rooms cleaned daily. Luggage storage available if you arrive early or leave later than check in or out times. Would Absolutrly recommend again but there is some unfinished/broken pieces not removed or fixed. Saying that, Theyre not in the way of everything else!

I stayed at Maya Monkey Hostel in Cancún and overall had a great experience for the price. The location is excellent, the staff are friendly, and check-in and check-out were very efficient. The room and bed were a bit small, and cleanliness could be improved, but considering the price, it was reasonable. I think this is a great hostel in a prime location, especially for solo travelers.
