Very basic rooms but considering what you're paying it's definitely good enough! Friendly staff, reasonable activities, good food.. Beautiful garden with hammocks.. Walking distance from nice beaches and restaurants! I really fell in love with this place (and the island in general, it's very pretty!) Feels like a home away from home! More

This was by far the worst hostel I've ever stayed at. The rooms are only screened in, so you hear everything going on outside, including college-aged people who party all night. Very noisy and rude! Basic, hot, dark rooms with showers down the hall. Maybe if you are just looking for a party, it's fine, but if you are actually... More

I have been staying in the hostal already twice. The first time for Christmas 2009 and the second time in May 2011. Both times I was in a shared room. The rooms are really basic and some are kind of dark- which doesnt matter as you are normally outside during the whole day. The hostal is big and gives lot... More

My wife and I stayed here last year and again this year for two weeks each time. Last year we had a private room with private bathroom, this year a private room with shared bath. We had no problems either year. It's primarily college age and a bit older, but there are a fair number of older folk as well.... More

Our first hostel on you trip and we'v been talking about it ever since. Really beautiful place with a lot of travellers and a nice vibe. The argentinian staff is a bit cocky and seem to have some problems with the mexican cleaners and cooks, but apart from that, The perfect hostel. It haa everything you need. More

a really fun hostel, lots of other travellers, always something going on that you can choose to join or not. Food and booze prices are cheap. My only complaint would be that their wifi sucks big time, often down, really slow More

Compared to the other places we stayed in Mexico Poc-Na did not meet our expectations. The rooms are hot and cell-like and I found the staff unhelpful and rude. The staff all acted like they were the coolest things around. We booked a terrible snorkel trip through the hostel - they tour staff gave us a run around and ended... More

As far as "Vibe" goes, this place DEFINES it! When you walk in threres party music blasting in the background, everyone has a Corona in hand, then you walk past the dining hall and see the Caribbean Sea. Half the the people are in their underwear/bathing suits and you realize that people here just want to party. As cliche as... More

Unless you are a zombie or a robot, you will love the Poc-na hostel forever. This is a well-run party hostel with decent rooms, good common area with restaurant, and a great giant sandy beach lot with room for hammocks, volleyball, and a dance floor with bar! It was super busy and teeming with activity, even in the off season. More

This youth hostel is actually one of the best I've ever been to in 20 years of travelling - great people helping with everything (from a guide-book library that can be borrowed up to razor-blades), clean and nice rooms for not too much money, yoga-, spanish-, juggling-classes and and and, breakfast is included and meals not too expensive (no kitchen...
