The staff was really nice, and they organize many great activities for free - however it was very loud, with music blasting very late into the night, and the walls were very thin, so we could hear everything happening in our neighbors' rooms. Did not sleep well at all. Very disappointed with the noise.

The property is placed in a very cute location around the lagoon. Standard rooms need to be more equipped with basic materials like chairs and chest for storage. The faucets in the bathroom need update some we're rusted andcquet outdated.

You get what you pay for! It’s located on awesome spot, if you’re trying to be a local in Cancun, and live it up on the strip! However the AC was extremely loud, so it had to be turned off in order for us to be able to sleep. You get what you pay for, it’s like a hostal. Also pre paid for breakfast while checking out through Expedia, when I arrived, they said I did not.

Great experience and location. It’s within walking distance to the ferry for Isla Mujeres and Coco Bongo. It can get a bit noisy at times, especially if you’re a light sleeper, but I packed an eye mask and earplugs, which helped a lot.

Staff were great. I really liked the little community kitchen, was nice to save money by cooking onsite rather than eating out in the Hotel Zone. The hotel was clean and comfortable and handy to lots of stuff - easy pick up for tours, grocery store close by.

Don't stay here! It's basically a hostel even if you get the private room and bath. We were in the room for less than 5 mins and noticed 10+ mosquitoes everywhere. The sheets had stains on them. The room also had a moldy smell. We left imm immediately and didn't stay the night we came back the next day to speak to the manager who agreed to give us a partial refund of half of the $300 that we spent however, later we found out that we only got a $67 refund, which is not what she agreed upon. Just spend a little more and stay somewhere better!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My experience at this hotel was completely unacceptable from the moment I arrived. The room door didn’t even close properly, which immediately raised safety concerns. Once inside, things got even worse: the mattresses were torn (literally ripped), there was visible hair on the beds, and it was clear the room had not been cleaned at all. The air conditioning was not working, which is unacceptable in Cancun, and to make matters worse, the bathroom was in terrible condition. The toilet was dirty, stained, and splattered — clearly not cleaned or sanitized. I chose not to stay even for an hour due to hygiene and safety concerns. However, the hotel refused to provide any solution — no refund, no compensation — despite the issue being entirely their fault. It is very concerning that a hotel operates under these conditions. I absolutely do not recommend staying here.
