"Super endroit convivial avec terrasse en hauteur vue sur la plage/mer. Tout était calme après 23h (sauf pour un humain qui n’avait bien sûr pas compris la consigne cuisine fermée après 22h30 - notre chambre était à côté, il nous a réveillé à minuit…) Le personnel et le propriétaire sont totalement dévoués au bonheur des gens. ❤️ L’entrée est difficile à trouver, car il n’y aucune indication sur les portes, mais on nous avait avisés. Le chemin à partir de ADO était très clair par contre. Le café...

"we just stayed for one night at the Hostel in a bunk room that had a private bathroom and 3 beds, perfect for 3. It was a fabulous location, 1/2 block from the beach, 2 blocks from the ferry station and a block from the ado bus station - which is what we needed for an early airport departure. Easy check in and check out, friendly staff. Overall, given the proximity to the main promenade and nearby bars, it was actually quieter than I expected, too - though we kept the fan on all night that...

"Close to everything! Expedia was a bit confusing with the receipt saying the room was already paid for... It wasn't. Not a big deal, and definitely not Wabi Hostel's fault. Room is clean, awesome staff! There's a paid parking lot two buildings down. We would book again next time we are in the area. "

"This was my first time staying at a hostel and I have to say it was an amazing experience :-) first of all the location was perfect because it was literally in the heart of the street of the center of Playa del Carmen. Right where all the restaurants, shops and the disco's are located. The hostel itself was like an enclosed jungle, even with a pool, very clean, very friendly staff and other guests. The room was very clean and modern and the air conditioning cooled the room quickly. I didn't get...

"I was not expecting having to pay a rent fee and deposit for my towel. Which would have not be a problem as long as it was mentioned before booking. Employees had an attitude when I asked basics about the property, giving me very short to no answers. It was like I was supposed to know the place and how things work around there. Air conditioning was not working properly in the shared room (I complained about it and they were like... it works fine.😂😂😂) so I decided to upgrade to a private...

"Although the hostel is close the the beach, I find the neighborhood a bit shady, uncomfortable to walk late at night. There's AC that's it's turned on at 11pm and the room gets a bit cold, I was ok with it, but others might not be. There's a lot of noise at night from other guests which makes it hard to sleep early. I also woke up with bedbug bites. The restrooms had a bad smell but they do get clean in the morning. The pool is really small, more like a decoration than an actual pool. The...

"We stayed at this resort for 3 nights. The stay was excellent , with easy acess to the beach, lot of dining options and nice bars. The beach itself was not great though. The pools are awesome . Another thing we missed were options for snacks and coffee. There were multiple bars but only one starbucks on the property, which is not inclusive. I loved it overall and would still go there again.

"Great staff! They were helpful and kept the property and rooms extremely clean. While this is ocean front property the beach is very small and not really swimable. I would not stay here with kids. But it was great for a couple just wanting to relax on the beach. The location is great. Dozens of dining and shopping options within easy walking distance. We walked everywhere and never felt unsafe."
