Expensive for a hostel (total $1290CAD, 5 nights, private room for 2).
My partner & I make a very modest living, and with our set of accessibility needs, Mayan Monkey had the best available private rooms on ******* ($127/night). The staff were exceptionally friendly, sweet, and attentive. However, for the price we ended up paying, we regretfully could’ve booked one of more luxurious hotels across the street. We’re CDN, so we’ll convert MXN to CAD w/ today’s forEx rates. Exclu. tips, 5 nights came to ~$1290 CAD or $258/night (incl taxes, hotel fees, daily breakfast for 2ppl, and *this wild cleaning fee*). They charged us $90 ($67 USD) for maybe 6 or 7 tiny dots of juice on the bedsheets. These “stains” were most definitely a small enough job for our Tide-to-Go stick, so we were shocked and deeply disappointed when they held us back about this. If we weren’t rushing to the airport, I would’ve spent at most 10 mins “Tide-sticking” these droplets away myself. We paid it of course, despite feeling scammed. They were so nice to us :( Before departing, we could’ve tipped their kitchen/bar staff (not just cleaning staff) on our way out with that cash.
If you’re seeking a more peaceful/relaxed vacation, maybe rethink Mayan Monkey. This is a pool club hostel, so House/EDM’s on full blast until 1am (which could be great if that’s what you’re looking for!). You can feel the bass in the walls of the room.
