YOUR ACCOMMODATION

In Mexico, you have the doors open to a versatile travel experience. In hostels by the beach or in beautiful colonial cities, you live on-site for an extended period and are not just a tourist passing through. You have the opportunity to deeply explore the people, culture, language, and fascinating places. Meanwhile, a cool hostel becomes your new home. You live with other volunteers and guests in a dormitory and have access to all common areas, such as the kitchen, pool, terrace, and restaurant or bar. Mexico loves to celebrate, and most hostels have their own bar where there's a lot going on, not just on weekends. Additionally, you can join cool activities or tours organized by the hostel.

Some hostels include breakfast, but this cannot be guaranteed. For your meals, you will have access to a communal kitchen or numerous nearby restaurants. Residents of the hostel often enjoy cooking together and ending the evening with a card game.

In Mexico, there is a good network of public buses on the Riviera Maya that will get you from A to B easily. A domestic flight is necessary for hostels on the Pacific coast. We will be happy to help you with your arrival and flight bookings to your location.
