My Favorite Stay in Cancún! From the moment I checked in, I felt the good vibes! The staff are friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and modern, with plenty of lockers for your things. The location is perfect—right across from the beach and walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. I loved the bar and DJ nights; such a fun way to meet new people from all over the world. They even let you request a takeaway breakfast if you have an early tour, and the laundry service was a lifesaver before heading home. The pool area is perfect for relaxing in the afternoon, and the social atmosphere makes solo travel feel anything but lonely. If you’re looking for a place that’s safe, clean, and full of energy—Mayan Monkey is the spot!

Solo traveling first time ever in 20s I was worried before I left. What if I didn’t like it or felt unsafe? Right away after checking in I felt the reality of this place. Amazing experience. Where else can you find a place to stay this affordable with this high of a standard. My stay at the Mayan monkey was nothing short of amazing. The breakfast was ridiculously good. The staff were super helpful and I felt very safe and welcomed by everybody there. I even lost my AirPods and a staff member found me and returned them. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Bonus is the bathrooms are spotless.
