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!

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.

I enjoyed Mayan Monkey! It was close to a lot of the fun activities and nightlife. The view of the ocean didn’t look so good because of the construction, and my room 206 (co-bedroom) was never cleaned and I was there for 4 nights and five days. However the staff were wonderful, professional and super sweet! Their food and happy hour was awesome. I’ll be back!

Given that it's a hostel and the price is so low, I wasn't expecting much. But the Mayan Monkey was amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming (shout out to Javiera and David), the public areas were lively and engaging, the food and drinks were great, and my bunk was comfortable, cool, and quiet. I was pleasantly surprised, and would definitely stay here again.

First time in hostels and first time in Mexico as a solo male Canadian who speaks English. 1. Amazing help and a locker to store stuff if you took a red eye and can’t check in. 2. Option to upgrade to a private room if you need it ;-) 3. Breakfast every morning can’t be beat for the price. 4. Bring peso for the staff and they will help you reserve dinners, introduce you to the nightlife and provide drinks/ activities! 5. The property is very safe with access to the beach across the street, police patrol the area so you can walk around all night without issue (just be smart and don’t trespass). Come here for a great experience first time or seasoned alike. Thanks Myan Monkey!
