Mayan Monkey Cancun Social Hostel

Mayan Monkey Cancun Social Hostel is an adults-only party hostel at Boulevard Kukulcan Km 9.5 in Cancun's Hotel Zone, Quintana Roo, Mexico, and is the only hostel on the beachfront strip. The location puts it in the middle of the Punta Cancun nightlife district, a short walk from Forum by the Sea, Playa Caracol and the clubs and bars of the boulevard, and about 15 to 20 minutes from Cancun airport by road. The hotel-zone bus stops on the boulevard outside, so guests can reach downtown and the ferry terminals for Isla Mujeres cheaply, and the public beaches of the area are within walking distance. The hostel is built around a social, young-traveller atmosphere, with a pool and bar as the main gathering points and organized evenings that encourage guests to meet each other. Accommodation is split between Dorm Beds and Private Rooms, so solo travellers can share a dorm while couples or friends can book a private room. Listed amenities include a pool, a bar, a shared kitchen, lockers, a tour desk, wifi and an adults-only policy. The shared kitchen lets guests prepare their own meals and save money in an expensive area, and the bar serves drinks and light food. The tour desk can arrange excursions such as visits to Isla Mujeres, Chichen Itza, Tulum and cenotes. Nightly rates run from about MXN 490 to 1,225 (approx. USD 28 to 70), which is far below the beachfront hotels around it, and the rating of around 4.3 reflects strong satisfaction among its target audience. Service is informal and friendly, with staff who focus on events and activities. Visitors should expect noise, shared bathrooms in dorms and a party atmosphere, and travellers who want quiet sleep may prefer a private room or a different property.
