yes, the building is unfinished so it‘s not a ten out of ten but it‘s just a very real unpolished experience (less touristy than other places on the coast), the kitchen was great, very well equipped, the host was very very friendly, the room was very clean and even had a fridge plus ac inside, you could use a bicycle for free if you wanted, they give you a towel and soap all for a very low price! I‘d sleep here again!

“A great option, and walking distance to Akumal beach and the turtles.”
They are wonderful people, and couldn’t have been nicer or more friendly. I would stay again. It’s a good price and the location is off the Main Street so is quite but it’s not the Ritz, so don’t expect it to be for the price. Great value if you’re on a tight budget. I went for the snorkelling and saw an eagle ray for five minutes, 2 sea turtles, 4 sting ray, and lots of parrot fish, and a star fish. Definitely recommend!
