“Great Spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Stayed here for one night with my boyfriend and 14 year old sister. Tree top like houses either dorm style or private with shared washrooms. The woman who is the owner of the property was very inviting and made us feel right at home the moment we got there. They have complimentary bike service so you can bike ( along the very busy hwy) to the town of Tulum or to the Ruins. The breakfast which was included was among the best meals we had on our 10 day tour of Mexico/ Belize. The only downside to this hostel is that is is right on the hwy and there is a huge speed bump right outside the entrance which causes some occasional nightly disturbances. Hope to go back :)

Room Tip: Try to get a room at the back of the property to be as far away from the highway as possible

“LOVE this place - you must stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Friend and I stayed 2 nights here and we LOVED it. We love the fact you get the bike included in the price and can just cycle into town or down to the beach. Yes, it is on a main road, but there was no problem with noise or anything. The owners are really nice and will prepare breakfast for you when you wake and help you with any questions you have. We shared a room with a couple of other people which was fine, had comfy bunk beds and the huge fans in the room did the trick at night! The showers are always hot and the food delicious. Its set in a really lush place and theres hammocks where you can just chill out in the sun. Definitely recommend this place for your place to stay in Tulum! We were really sad to leave and will certainly return!

“Nice place but right on the highway..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed there for 1 night, the hostel is quite gud and the owner lady and her son were quite helpful. The gud thing is that they know English which was very helpful. The rooms are ok but there are some issues. Firstly, the hostel is located right on the highway so all night there is lot of noise of cars, trucks and its very difficult to sleep. Secondly, the rooms are kind of wooden tree house, so there are lot of mosquitoes and no net to cover bed. You can get bicycles from hostel itself and free internet is available.

“Great place, great hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

We got off the bus on the highway just in front of "Tulum Archeological Zone" looking at the Los Mopaches sign above the gate, which looked awful. I got scared. But when the door opened, we saw an old lady with a wonderful smile, who hugged us like an old friend and showed us her beautiful place. Cute wooden huts hidden among colorful trees and flowers, hammocks and comfortable chairs for great relax and atmosphere of “aunties home”, where you are more than welcome in worth the little high price (as for backpacker’s wallet – 220 peso/night in 4 bed dormitory). If that wasn’t convincing enough, we can add free bicycle (helmets, waistcoat and headlight), snorkel set for symbolic 10 peso/day, and the best breakfast in Mexico. Last but not least is the hospitality and eagerness to help, inform or explain of the whole family, which makes our stay there wonderful.
Be sure to visit (beside obviously beautiful Tulum ruins – 51 peso) amazing beach of Akumal, where you can swim with grande turtles and fabulous Yal-Ku Lagoon (great snorkel experience in mixed salt and sweet waters). We planned to stay in Los Mapaches just one day and we stayed there for three :)))))
