Guest Reviews
- Francisco (10/5): Viaje perfecto en Cozumel - Rudy y Pepe se preocuparon mucho de todos los huéspedes y ayudaban a organizar la estancia .
- Nicolás (10/5): -
- Gilles (8/5): -
- Calum (10/5): Thanks to the Casamaya for an amazing 5 days in Cozumel. The mixed dorm room was clean with comfortable beds and cleaned - Diving - no hidden costs
Dorms were great
Great vibe
Good taco place round the corner Nothing
- princeofclydes (8/5): Great fun place for a short or long stay. Affordable, safe, memorable. - Bed, toilets, shower, a/c, security all were good. There were pets: dog, cat, turtles, iguanas, and birds. The garden and pool were great. Staff worked hard to keep it all going. CasaMaya has a lively, interesting atmosphere, lots of socializing, divers coming and going, BBQs and music. Scooters & bikes available. Taxis and tuk-tuks will come to the door. Kitchen is small but adequate. 2 fridges, beer is allowed. CasaMaya is 2k from the ferry and 2.5k from the nearest useable beach at Playa Caletita. *00 meters from a large grocery store, but an OXXO is just around the corner. No buses on Cozumel, so going to the beach is expensive by taxi or tuk-tuk. 500 pesos to rent a scooter, 200 pesos for a bicycle. The best free beaches are 20 kilometers away on the east side. 7K to the Sky Reef Bar for snorkeling & facilities. There are small, difficult spots along the coast to get into the ocean, but Cozumel is not a place to come for beaches, compared to Cancun, Playa, Tulum, Mujeres, Morelos, or especially Holbox which is the best on the Yucatan Peninsula.
- Aaron S. R. (10/5): - Great vibes, even if you don't dive. Lots of nice chats and adventures with fellow travelers. These guys know how to run a hostel that's both comfy and fun. Whether you want to hang out and socialize, or just chill out in a hammock, there's lots of space to accommodate all.
To Pepe, Steve-O, Rudy, et al, keep up the great work, see you next time.
- Jennifer (8/5): I would recommend and more if you want to take diving lessons! - It feels like a family vacation house, where the environment is very friendly and all the people are super nice! The staff is also very nice! They offer dive lessons and there you can also rent a moto directly which makes it easier. The bathroom was always a little bit dirty and the house is a little bit “far” from the city center but apart from that very good place to stay!
- Avalis (10/5): Recomiendo! 100% - Great vibe. People at the place make you feel part of the family, especially if you dive. I like the dog, and I could work from the kitchen with great wiFi. Hmm, expect rooms filled with people. Sometimes the noise and the lights can be a problem, so make sure to pack some earplugs and an eye mask.
- Katerina (10/5): - Everything was perfect, the place looks like a sanctuary with amazing and friendly people, such a relaxing place, even though it was a bit far from the center, it was actually perfect and comfortable. The friendly dog and cat Coco were a huge bonus😉I definitely recommend it!
- Judith (10/5): cozy place, welcoming atmosphere -
- Katarzyna (8/5): Chillowy hostel z dużym luzem. - Bardzo chillowe miejsce, czas leci tu wolniej, przy basenie na ogrodzie kręcą się różne zwierzęta: żółwie, legwany, mały kotek, dwa psy. Panuje tu bardzo przyjazna atmosfera, właściciele są przemili, organizują wyjazdy nurkowe (są instruktorami) i pomogli nam bardzo w sytuacji, gdy nie mogliśmy wziąć udziału w zaplanowanym nurkowaniu. Ogólnie panuje tu nieporządek, mnóstwo rzeczy leży wszędzie, w kuchni ciężko znaleźć patelnię, która ma niezdartą powłokę teflonową lub nawet zapalniczkę by skorzystać z kuchenki. W łazience w pokoju kosz był nieopróżniony (co w łazienkach w Meksyku ma kolosalne znaczenie).
- NONAKA (9/5): 気持ちいい宿。 - オーナー、スタッフが親切だった。 宿で飼ってる犬が私のご飯を食べたがった。
- IC3Coffee91 (10/5): - It's a very great hostel. There's a nice vibe between the guest. Over the day, a lot of the guest go snorkeling or diving. At the evening, they meet at a table in the hostel with a beer and are showing the videos they made while diving/snorkeling. It's possible to book diving trips directly at the hotel (it has the advantage that you don't have to go to the harbor on your own). In the garden of the hostel, there are turtles, iguanas, a cat and a dog. And the personal of the hostel are nice (diving) folks to hang out with. Long walk from the harbor
- Stephan (9/5): Très belle expérience 😎😎 - Le logement pour un hostel est vraiment de qualité, nous avons pris la chambre isolée qui est immense, mais même le dortoir est de qualité.
On s na passé qu’une nuit mais on s’est senti tout de suite à l’aise, super accueil, hôtes chaleureux, bcp de charme dans je lieux qui semble un peu loin du centre l’eus ca n’est pas du tout un problème.
Pour venir prenez les tuc tuc, c’est 50 pesos et il y en a partout et tout le temps.
Je recommande fortement pour changer de l’hôtel « classique « impersonnel Rien
- Bruno (4/5): -
- Aldona (10/5): - Very friendly atmosphere.Very nice, caring ménagement. I feld like at home. Lack of public transport in Cozumel.
- Jeremias (10/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): -
- Saúl (10/5): - Really nice place to stay, I enjoyed a couple of BBQ with Pepe & Steeve O, Pepe and his friends played tropical music and that was really nice, the hostel is clean and very cosy, I also went diving with Pepe; we were at a couple of amazing reefs. .
- Friederike (9/5): Chill hostel, easy to make friends, perfect island vibes, diving & BBQ - - Hostel has all the necessary facilities to have a good time (several bathrooms, kitchen, strong wifi, pool, hammocks, BBQ, A/Cs, some fitness equipment) but is small enough to feel familiar and to really get to know the owners/managers and other guests
- Dive trips are organized and led by the hostel, fun if you are looking to meet dive buddies and do group trips
- Although general maintenance could be better (a lot of the furniture and kitchenware is clearly old and the walls could do with some fresh paint) there's rigorous daily cleaning, so the kitchen and other common areas are spotless
- The hostel owners/managers are also happy to help with renting a scooter (which gets delivered to the doorstep), rent out bicyles themselves, and have plenty of tips for local bars and restaurants
- An overall very fun, laid back vibe and great for solo travelers - As mentioned above, there could be some upgrading to the furniture, painting, and pans. The design is definitely more basic and DIY compared to the super-modern hostels you can find in bigger cities.
- The hostel has a dog and a cat. Some folks might book this under the "positives", I'm not a fan of pets and another guest was allergic, so might be good to mention this somewhere upfront.
- The location is ok, but not super convenient unless you have a mode of transport (like a scooter, which I'd highly recommend in any case). There's a coffee shop, convenience store, pharmacy and eateries closeby, but it's quite far to walk to the center/beach.

- Erik (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - La casa es preciosa y Pepe hace todo lo posible para que te sientas a gusto. Ademas puedes ir a bucear con el equipo a sitios increibles.
Tienen slackline! No poder quedarme mas
- Adrian (10/5): - Mi estadía eran 3 días y terminé quedándome 2 semanas! Lo mejor del hostel son las vibes y la gente de ahí! Definitivamente volveré ahí! Nada.
- Mia (9/5): - This hostel has the perfect hostel vibe. Friendly and welcoming staff. The best dice instructor I've met - Pepe. Easy to socialize and also to be by yourself if you're an introvert. There's a kitchen, a pool, and a bbq. Close to Wallmart. Very good security. I'd stay here again! It's a 35-minute walk from the ferry. There wasn't any hot water in the bathroom in my dorm, but the staff told me it was in the other dorm.
- Markus (9/5): -
- Markus (8/5): - Die Leute sind super nett. Da die Besitzer auch die Tauchschule betreiben ist es einfach alles zu organisieren.
- Hanna (10/5): - In this hostel I felt truly welcome, the hosts and volunteers esp. Pepe are just so friendly, it was amazingly easy to meet people as there‘s a party or hangout going on almost every night and the hosts and their friends are part of it. They have very pretty open common areas, great kitchen, a nice pool, there‘s 3 turtles and an iguana living in the yard. Even though the hostel is a little further from the harbour supermarkets are super close and you can rent a bicycle or moped to get around the island. I did my first dive ever here and it was an amazing experience, I felt very safe, would definitely recommend. The triple bunk beds were also surprisingly comfortable. the bathroom could be a little cleaner and cleaned on a more regular basis but nothing terrible
- Tiago (10/5): Séjour superbe, Rudy et Pépé sont extrêmement accueillants et agréables ! - Superbe endroit. Idéal si l’on voyage pour pratiquer de la plongée, Rudy et Pépé ont énormément d’expérience dans le domaine et sont hyper accessibles.
Il y est très facile de vivre en communauté avec les autres résidents car les espaces et les gérants facilitent les échanges entre chacun. Et si ce n’est pas ce que l’on cherche alors ils le respectent aussi.
Globalement un lieu de communauté très facile à vivre que je recommande ! La localisation pourrait être meilleure mais le prix la compense largement.
- Ab (8/5): Leuk - De combinatie tussen slapen en duiken Duiken was erg duur
- Clément (10/5): Exceptionnel - Adoré, les gérants sont tout simplement exceptionnel. Une vrai famille, vous vous y sentirez très bien ! Je ne peux que recommander Le logement est à 30m à pied du port, donc assez loin, mais dans tout les cas vous allez louer un scooter pour vous balader sur l’île donc 🤷♂️
- Verena (7/5): - Die Betten sind super Bequem gewesen!
Die Möglichkeit Fahrräder und Schnorchelgequipment auszuleihen war gegeben.
Genauso wie gute Insider Tips wo man gut schnorcheln kann.
Noch eine Nebeninfo. Immer mittwochs kann in der Innenstadt Salsa getanzt werden. Nehmt das mit wenn ihr könnt :)
- Daniel J. S. (9/5): - Really great place and excellent value for money. Recommend 10/10
- Zachariah (10/5): Great diving and chill hammock time - The staff were excellent and are constantly looking for ways to improve the hostel. They have a strong vision in mind for how the hostel should evolve. They were also great fun to dive with! The bunks were tight!
- Bazan Ceron (10/5): -
- souhaila (8/5): -
- Lewis (10/5): Epic island hostel - The best vibe I've had in a hostel for a long while, staff are great, and help build a real connection.
There's a cat, a dog, and turtles!
Diving with them was also amazing. Leaving
- PRATIK (10/5): - It truly feels like a family — Stivo, Rudy, Checo, and Pepe are wonderful people, and even the dog and cat make you feel at home. The diving experience was incredible and very special, unlike anywhere else in the world. Thank you, Casa Maya, for a beautiful stay! 💙🤿
- William (9/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): Excelente - La cocina y el patio. La atención de los encargados, realmente aplica su lema de “tu casa en el caribe” Todo excelente
- faz (10/5): El mejor lugar para una buena estancia en Cozumel - Es un lugar muy especial para la estancia, el personal es muy amable, atento, respetuoso, higiénico, relajante., pepe es una excelente persona, que está a tu disposición, si tienes alguna pregunta o si necesitas alguna ayuda, con gusto te escucha y te ofrece lo que necesites, stivo es una excelente persona, está contigo para lo que necesites, se preocupan que estés cómodo y relajado, te ayuda a conseguir transporte ya sea carro moto o bici , para que vayas a visitar las playas de Cozumel, además tienen una gran experiencia en scubdaiving son profesionales,hay lugares muy cerca: como restaurantes, tiendas, mercados y muchas cosas más, prácticamente lo tienes todo alrededor y caminando, conoces personas de todo el mundo y se viven muchas experiencias, en si es un excelente lugar, cuando vuelva a Cozu me hospedare ahí excelente, muchas gracias a todos por su hospitalidad y buenas vibras, saludos. No tengo nada que decir, todo estuvo excelente.gracias.
- Ramona (10/5): - Sehr herzlich geführtes Hostel. Die Jungs machen alles um sich unbekümmert, wohlzufühlen und seine Auszeit im Casamaya vollkommend geniessen zu können.Sie sind unglaublich.Stevo hat mich sehr herzlich und einladend empfangen und war auch sonst immer zur Stelle wenn ich was brauchte. Ich hatte das private Zimmer gebucht, praktisch einfach eingerichtet, sauber, Badezimmer einwandfrei, es fehlt an nichts. Gemütliche Umgebung mit Pool- und Aufenthaltsbereich. Das intengrierte Tauchangebot ist total praktisch. Ich bin schlussendlich 4 Tage mit Sergio, Pepe und Rudy tauchen gegangen- alle drei sind super unterhaltsam, kompetent und man fühlt sich zu jederzeit gut umsorgt. Ich kann das Hostel nur wärmstens empfehlen und ich komme gerne wieder. Liebes Casamaya-Team herzlichen Dank für all eure Bemühungen und eure herzliche, einzigartige Art.
- Dieneke (8/5): Leuk divers hostel - Leuk om andere reizigers te ontmoeten die ook duiken. De drie hoog bedden zijn best wel intens. Maar ook is er een regel dat je na 11 uur rustig moet zijn in de dorm. Maar daar houden ze zich buiten de dorm helemaal niet aan. Bijna iedere avond feest, met muziek en trommels naast de dorm. Dus als je denkt dat je uitgerust kan duiken zou ik een ander hostel kiezen.
- Marine (6/5): Méfiez vous en cas de réservation de la chambre double - Le personnel est très agréable Être prévenue à la dernière minute (à savoir sur place) d’un changement de chambre (chambre double réservée pour avoir de l’intimité mais au final grand dortoir commun).
- Anton (8/5): - Good location, great stuff and guests! Place is super cozy to hang out during the day and night. Dorms have AC Bathrooms could use some hot water.
- Malte (9/5): - Personal, Hof, Pool, Freundlichkeit, Kulanz, Tauchen Matratzen
- Eric (8/5): -
- Sharon (9/5): - The vibe in the hostel is great, the staff is friendly and there are a lot of chill spaces at the hostel. Also did the open water course with them and it was a great experience.
- ANA (8/5): -
- CharlineM (10/5): Une magnifique rencontre - ABSOLUMENT TOUT ! Nous avons vécu une expérience qui a dépassé de très très loin nos attentes.
Nous avons fait notre baptême de plongée avec Pépé, qui en plus de nous rassurer, et d'être drôle et gentil, est un excellent pédagogue. La plongée nous a semblé si facile et naturelle grâce à lui. Il nous a emmené dans des spots de plongée vraiment magnifiques, tout en nous donnant des explications sur toute la faune et la flore que nous avons vu.
Le matériel nous a semblé aussi très qualitatif, on était très à l’aise dedans.
Notre but est de revenir un jour avec le PADI dans la poche pour replonger avec lui !
Concernant l’hostel nous avons été accueillis par Stevo, le québécois le plus gentil du monde (ce qui n’est pas peu dire pour un quebecois). Il nous a tout expliqué sur le fonctionnement de l’hostel avec ses petites histoires et attentions qui nous donnaient envie de l’écouter pendant des heures.
Enfin nous avons rencontré Rudy, qui en plus d'avoir le cœur sur la main, nous a fait nous sentir chez nous en quelques secondes et ne jamais avoir envie de repartir.
C'était plus qu’un séjour dans un hostel, c'était une aventure de vie, de magnifiques rencontres, moments, qui nous ont juste fait regretter de ne pas pouvoir rester plus longtemps.
Les gars, MERCI pour tout, on a vraiment adoré votre simplicité et générosité, on espère pouvoir revenir le plus tôt possible et bien plus longtemps ! Ne pas avoir le temps de rester plus ❤️
- Orval (10/5): Friendly staff, comfortable amenities, and an overall enjoyable stay. - The pool is great, the bed was super comfy, and the showers were excellent. Management is incredibly friendly and truly attentive to your needs. You can feel their passion for diving, and they’re genuinely good people — which makes you feel safe, welcomed, and well taken care of throughout your stay. Overall everything was great, just a few small details that could be improved over time.
- Florian (10/5): - Alles war absolut perfekt. Die Atmosphäre sehr gemütlich und sozial. Sehr gut organisierte Tauchgänge und individuell angepasst. Nichts alles war perfekt!
- Gily (10/5): -
- Morgane (10/5): - Annulation au dernier moment, ils m'ont remboursé très rapidement, proposé 2 autres logements similaires, m'ont prévenu par téléphone et SMS et booking. Très bonne gestion des imprévus. Merci!!!
- Cynthia (9/5): Great stay, with even better diving! - Amazing hostel with a chill and social atmopshere. The guys will take you out for the best food after diving or a fun night out on the dancefloor.
If you stay here, make sure to go diving because you will make the best memories!
The sweetest guards Maco and Coco are the cherry on top to make this hostel the perfect place on Cozumel. 🐕🐈 /
- Ara (10/5): A Hostel That Feels Like Home — and Takes You Diving! - What a wonderful place! Keep it up, guys!
The hostel is super cool, social, and run by truly kind owners and helpers. Definitely worth staying here — comfy beds, a nice pool, great chill areas, and the pets make it feel like home!
And the money you save on accommodation, you can spend on scuba diving with them! Besides being amazing hosts, they’re also experienced scuba professionals.
Thanks for the experience!
- Shahin (9/5): -
- Sacha (10/5): - Super ambiance! Les hôtes et instructeurs Pépé et Rudy sont super accueillants et passionnés. Ils nous ont fait vivre différentes plongées d'excellente qualité et offrent la formation en espagnol, anglais et français. C'est aussi l'endroit parfait pour socialiser et faire de belles rencontres. C'est certain que nous allons revenir.
- Morgane (9/5): -
- Hailey (9/5): I absolutely loved staying here! If you are coming to cozumel to dive definitely stay here and dive with them!! It was a - The staff were super friendly and committed to making you feel at home- they were always there hanging out with whoever was around!! I love how they offered diving because it made us all a big family as we would spend all day diving together then hang out at the hostel. It made it so simple to stay and dive with them - our diving groups were 2-3 people which rocked because the others we saw had like 7 people. I liked how it was out of the center as well. The bunk beds were super creeky so whenever the man above me moved an inch it shaked all the beds and made noise. Also the kitchen cabinets were pretty disorganized and dirty with food.
- CORREIA LAURENT (8/5): - Personne super cool, autant les autres résident que le propriétaire, il y a une grande solidarité, toujours prêt à aider ( encore merci de nous avoir aider à retrouver mes papiers), bonne ambiance assuré ! Pas d’eau chaude dommage
- Joly (10/5): - Personnel au top !! Super ambiance jeunes sportifs dans l'hostel ! Baptême de plongée super avec une incroyable instructrice parlant français réservée par l'hostel ! Super boulangerie à deux pas de l'hostel ! Je recommande vivement !
- hannah (10/5): - Had a great time at this hostel.
I did my advanced open water with them and the experience was super special! Highly recommend <3 Saying goodbye to everyone 🥲
- Annika (10/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeber.
Sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Ruhige und entspannte Umgebung.
Super Tauchangebot und faire Preise.
Stabile Betten. Genug Duschen und Toiletten.
Ich würde definitiv wiederkommen.
- Emilie (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as described + pictured. Great hosts who were very accommodating + very relaxed. They run great diving trips + are clearly very experienced diving guides / instructors. Highly recommend to dive with them!! Great recommendations for things to do / restaurants etc nearby, and further into town. Cute dog.
If you have a strong preference for the type of room you want (eg. 6 person dorm over 9 person dorm) suggest checking with them in advance whether it is definitely available.
- Leitner (10/5): Awesome vibe and perfect if you want to go diving or doing the Open Water certificate in Cozumel. - One of the best Hostels I have ever been to! The three owners set a really chill vibe for the hostel and it felt more like a second home than a hostel :) Some things are not perfect yet but they work on the hostel every day :)
- Victoria (10/5): - Me encantó el ambiente, desde que llegas, el staff te hace sentir en confianza.
El lugar está super bonito y es ideal para desconectarte y relajarte. El internet funciona bien y rápido si necesitas trabajar desde ahí.
Caminando no está tan cerca del centro, pero justo por eso es más tranquilo y sin tanto ruido.
Sin duda lo recomiendo y regresaría en mi siguiente viaje.
- Martinez (9/5): - La atención y la habitación
- Méline (10/5): Como a su casa ! - Pepe et Rudy sont d'une gentillesse incroyable ! On se sent vraiment a la maison ici, ambiance tres familiale.
Et malgré mes changements de plans, ils se sont arrangés pour qu'on puisse faire de la plongée avec eux et c'était magique !
Merci!!
- Carlos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ioana (10/5): Great stay and wonderful dives - I had a great time at Casamaya. I enjoyed a lot the facilities and the community spirit created by Pepe and Rudy. And as a bonus there was a very nice playlist running in the background and a super cute dog, Maco, always up for play. I also did some dives with Pepe which were great and I would totally recommend. Pepe gave me a lot of great diving advice. I would definitely go back there.
- Maya (10/5): Amazing experience - Amazing space, Pepe and Rudy are super nice and friendly as the helpers.
The pool is very nice and there's many place around to chill and rest.
I also went diving with Pepe and Rudy, it was a great experience.
- Sand (10/5): A home in the Caribbean - Great Hostel, Friendly staff and owners! Good kitchen, grocery store right around the corner. Nice common areas to hangout and socialize. Lots of space.
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Astrid (10/5): Exceptional - A home away from home in the caribbean? It is really true for casamaya848. A villa converted into a hostel with dorm and private rooms, large common room and kitchen. But the best is the outdoors: hammocks, turtles, iguanas, Maco (the dog), a pool for a quick dip in the heat but mostly for developing your diving skills. As casamaya is a lot more than a hostel, it is a great dive center. Rudy has been a dive instructor for the last 10 years, bringing you easily up to speed on all the skills you require and specialising in cave diving. Jose 'Pepe' taking you through breathtaking corall formations and always on the lookout for the hidden treasures like the 'splendid toadfish'. And after an amazing day diving you just chill in the garden, listen to music, dance salsa or join in the percussion jam. You're looking for a safe , comfy and fun haven in Cozumel? Casamaya848 is the place to go.
P.s. this is not chat gpt. I just spent the last 4 days at casamaya848 and this is a heartfelt comment. Just love this place and the people running it. (This includes Stephanie and Steve)
- Javier (10/5): Oh, I’m coming back as soon as I get cleared by my Dr so I can do some DIVING. - The entire staff, Really they made my day every day as I recovered from minor surgery and they were just AWESOME! Gracias 🙏🏽 Pepe, Rudy, Steeve and of course Stephanie ❤️ Nothing, it’s the best deal in Cozumel
- Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional - Pepe was the best Host along with the staff !
- Britt (9/5): Tu Casa en el Caribe - Pepe and Rudy were great hosts and have made Casamaya a great place to relax, meet other travellers and enjoy some diving! It's a new hostel and the guys are still working to make improvements to it but it's a lovely place in a quiet area outside of the downtown core. The beds are clean and comfortable, there are bicycles to rent and get around the island and the pool is always refreshing! Highly recommend! They're working to add lockers and curtains to the dorms which will be a great improvement
- Thijs (9/5): Superb - Pepe and Rudy are such sweet hosts! We also had a great group of people staying there, we had beers every night together, really felt like home.
The place is still relatively new and in the more local area away from the super touristy bit of Cozumel, which we really enjoyed. It’s a hostel with 1 private room, which we stayed in. We had an amazing time and would go back there in an instant. The dog is also super cute :)
- Dominic (10/5): Awesome - The friendliest hostel I've stayed recently. Comfortable bed. Decent facilities. The guys running the place were great but they could perhaps employ a cleaner.
- Rafal (10/5): Very laid back - Great energy, home like feeling, great people running the business - from divers to divers and not only.
- Alison (7/5): Good - The shared common area is very nice and Maco is a lovely friendly dog! The staff were welcoming and friendly. Although the beds were triple decker, they were surprisingly comfortable and not creaky. The hostel has a nice atmosphere overall. This hostel is new so there are some things to be improved. One set of dorms has no hot water in the showers and the bathrooms only sometimes had toilet paper and didn't have hand soap. The place was also not kept very clean. The location is okay but it's about a half hour walk away from the centre of Cozumel, the beach and the airport.
- Eric (10/5): Great hosts, fun environment. - The vibe of the place is really fun, everyone hanging out in the common areas playing music and telling travel stories. When I departed I realized I left some stuff at the hostel, the hosts held on to my belongings until I could return to get it.
- Britt (8/5): Very good - Pepe was the nicest host!! Really relaxed place to stay, if you don't want to be in the middle of the hectic tourist strip. Good vibe and mako the hosteldog is really cute.
- Samantha (8/5): We stayed 3 night in this hostel, we recommend completely this hostel, the staff is amazing, the atmosphere is really re - The atmosphere, the staff ( ruddy, pépé & Mako ), the possibility to train for diving, the pool . Nothing, the hostel is new and it will be improved during the following months in terms of storage bags and so on !
- Noël (8/5): Super chill vibe 🤙🏼 - Pepe and Rudy are really cool guys! They are super helpful and friendly.
- Joonhwan (10/5): Friendly hostel, great value for money - Very friendly staff, beautiful garden and swimming pool, clean facilities, well equipped kitchen
- Joel (10/5): Your home in the carribean - Amazing little hostel in the heart of San Miguel de Cozumel! Loved the vibes and the location, they even have a super nice pool. The owners Rudi and Pepe are always concerned about your comfort and experience and go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one! They are also certified dive instructors and will take you out on a dive for a reasonable price. 100% recommended!
Don’t forget to pet Maco, the hostel dog! Nothing to not like, one of the best value for money hostels to make your home while travelling if you’re a budget traveller that’s looking for a classic hostel experience.
- Sebastien (9/5): Superb -
- Ruth (10/5): Would book it again! - The bed was very comfortable and I had everything that I needed.
The staff is amazing and they have created an environment where I felt fully welcomed.
Even though it was not planned, I took a diving lesson with them and it was amazing. I can totally recommend to combine the stay with some diving lessons.
If you are looking for a place where the people are easygoing and warm heart, then this is it.
- Tollak (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful, passionate divers running the hostel! Would highly recommend. Ask them to organize some diving for you, you will not be disappointed.
