Loved the unique arched ceilings in the room—full of historic charm! The hotel restaurants (Mexican & international) are fantastic. Room was clean and comfortable. The only downside is the bathroom is functional but feels outdated. Would still recommend for the overall experience.

The best hotel ever. The rooms are cute and very organized. The shared spaces are full of nature and you just feel in the middle of the jungle (in a good way). They have a lovely pool, a tattoo shop, a little library, a bar and an amazing restaurant. The staff is very professional and make you feel at home, they are always giving you suggestions about things to do and places to go. Big shout out to Chavely, Adrian and Leonel from the front desk and Carlos with his bike tour. It was lovely and very informative. I'll be definitely coming back

My wife and I had a great time here! Chavley at the front desk was SUPER helpful. We had a tour canceled last minute and she went above and beyond after hours to secure alternative accomodations. Her efforts saved our trip. Thanks so much!

I had an incredible stay at this hostel in Cancun! The room was cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony overlooking the pool - perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The shower was amazing, with a walk-in closet and a pull-up bar (a great bonus for fitness enthusiasts!). But what truly made my stay stand out was the exceptional hospitality of the host, Leonel. He was super friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt at home. From recommending local hotspots to sharing stories and laughter, Leonel made my stay truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a warm and inviting place to stay, look no further! 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to come back!!

I've been here four times now. The receptionists, such as Chavely, Adrian and Gibran are great, the restaurant, Los Compares, with Picho, Oscar, Shomara, is great, everyone at Nomads is always trying to make your stay more comfortable! The volunteers are always different, but during my latest stay, Matt B. from Brazil was great! The volunteers are always trying to involve people in the activities and help people meet other travellers and have fun in the activities! The new pizza place, Onda, is delicious! This place is great and my favourite hostel/hotel in Cancún and I can't wait to see what they do next!

we stayed at this hotel straight after our 11 hour flight, which was also the first night of our honeymoon trip, and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room we stayed in was lovely and a decent size, with an outdoor bath and hammock on the balcony. We also had an upgrade with it being our honeymoon which was so generous of them. The hotel had a very chilled vibe, the bar man was lovely and gave us shots to try that he had made. Breakfast was also delicious. It would have been nice for food to be served a bit later in the bar/restaurant but otherwise was great!

The Mezcal Hotel, part of the Enigmatic Hotels Experience, has become my go to for accomadations on my short trips down to Cancun. Located in a friendly, walkable neighborhood full of excellent restaurants and coffee shops. Being right on the beach isn't important to me, and this hotel checks all the boxes handily. The staff's services are excellent, quiet, and efficient.
