The checkin wasn't bad, was my first time visiting Cancun and Mexico in general so everything was a little overwhelming. I somehow got stuck with the room right above the common area, which plays loud music all day everyday until at least 11 pm, sometimes as late as midnight or 12:30 am. I had tour outings planned for 5 am and 7 am on 2 of the days I was there, so I would've enjoyed more time to be able to sleep. Also, every time I went to the common area to fill up my water container, where the loud music was being played, I only saw maybe like 5 to 8 people some just sitting by themselves and not partying. The music is so loud that you can barely hear someone talking to you, so even if I was there with a group I wouldn't have enjoyed it. I get that this is a party hostel, but perhaps limit the loud music to Thurs-Sat in the late evenings. Who is partying til midnight on a Monday? Also as a first timer to Cancun, I didn't realize there was basically a fortress of hotels blocking access to the beach (security at every hotel that won't let you enter unless you're a guest) except for a few easily missable public beach entrances. Given this hostel is on the \"lagoon\" side, it made access to the beach a bit confusing for me but I eventually found the way to get there. I appreciated the water refill station, that made things a lot easier. For the price, it was worth it I guess, but the loud music really was a huge negative to me. If that doesn't bother you, then this is your place.
