Two blocks for the city bus stop to get into Cancun area for only 12 pesos. The city park is about a 5 minute walk where you can find great snack spots in the evening. Beautiful and safe place to stay, I’d come again. "

"Decidi no quedarme en ese hostal, preferi perder la plata que quedarme en ese sitio tan sucio y desagradable, por mi parte nunca lo recomendaria, me toco hospedarme en otro sitio mas barato. Reserve dos habitaciones y me mandaron a un cuarto donde tenia que compartir con gente que no conozco. Definitivamente un lugar asqueroso."
