If you want your hostel to be more an all-inclusive place, with spotless beds, private rooms that rival upscale hotels, a swing bar, giant patio/breakfast area and neon-lit swimming pool, then look no further than the Mayan Monkey in Tulum. It has RFID wristbands that act as keys, three stories of sleeping options and a variety of activities.
As luxurious as it is, despite the snaz, it's a bit lacking in warmth, and guests here are more likely to be on their phones than making friends. Still, it remains a great option for people looking for boutique on the cheap.
