The hype
Incredible social vibes and aesthetic common areas, but the nickel-and-diming on water and towels annoys budget travelers.

لوگ اسے کیوں پسند کرتے ہیں
- Massive social pool that actually looks like the photos
- Coworking space is legitimate with reliable high-speed WiFi
- Daily events (salsa, yoga, DJ sets) make meeting people effortless
فوری جائزہ: A high-gloss 'poshtel' that feels like a resort until the bass from the DJ booth vibrates your bunk bed at 1 AM.
@AlanA1608753 نے جائزہ دیا: I had the best time balancing work and play here. The coworking space is legit, and the pool parties are a vibe. My private room was super comfy when I needed a break. Definitely rent a bike to get around!

Reality check
The 'resort fee' and taxes add up quickly, making it pricier than a standard hostel.
- You are a solo traveler terrified of being lonely
- You need a proper desk and ergonomic chair to work remotely
- You want a pool scene that rivals expensive beach clubs
صفائی اور مرمت
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is consistent. Dorms are generally kept tidy despite the high traffic.
- Bathroom hygiene: En-suite dorm bathrooms are cleaned well, but 'wear and tear' like broken taps or slow drains is common.
- Maintenance: High traffic means things break. Reports of broken lockers and kitchen appliances are frequent.
- Linens & towels: Sheets are clean and crisp. Towels (if you rent them) are standard industrial white.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, though damp swimsuit smells can linger in dorms due to poor drying options.

سوالات و جوابات اور پوشیدہ تجاویز
بکنگ سے پہلے آپ جو کچھ واقعی جاننا چاہتے ہیں
Is it on the beach?
No. It is on Av. Coba, about a 15-20 minute bike ride or taxi to the beach hotel zone.
Is the internet good enough for video calls?
Yes, the coworking space is designed for this. WiFi is generally strong throughout the property.
Is breakfast included?
It depends on your booking channel. Often included for private rooms, but dorm rates usually just get you access to buy it or a very basic option.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it is pet-friendly for a fee (approx. $40 USD/night). Dogs and cats allowed.
Is there a kitchen?
Yes, but it's often crowded and guests report broken appliances (toasters, hobs) and missing utensils.
Is there a curfew?
No curfew for entry, but the pool/bar usually shuts down music around 1 AM.
اندرونی نکات
- ✨
Don't buy the tours sold at the front desk immediately; compare prices with vendors in Tulum Pueblo for better deals.
- ✨
The 'wet bathing suit' situation is a mess — there's no great place to dry them in dorms, and staff sometimes pile found items at reception.
- ✨
Walk to the nearby OXXO or Super Chedraui (10 min walk) to stock up on water and snacks; on-site prices are high.
جانے سے پہلے جاننے کی 5 چیزیں
💡The 'resort fee' covers the coworking space, so if you don't work, you're subsidizing those who do.
💡The shower pressure in dorms can be hit-or-miss depending on peak usage times.
💡You can't drink your own alcohol in common areas (they want you to buy from the bar).
💡The AC is controlled centrally in some dorm blocks and can get freezing cold at night.
💡It's a popular spot for locals and expats to co-work, so the 'social' vibe isn't just tourists.
