Hostel Ka'beh

Top choice in Cancún


A friendly central option just off the buzzing Parque de las Palapas, this small hostel has a lived-in feel that goes hand in hand with the relaxed vibe. Expect many social activities at night, most organized around food and drink. Trips depart to the beach at noon and to the Zona Hotelera after dinner.

At the time of research plans for a pool were underway, as well as expansion to give sleepers some quieter quarters away from the rebranded 'Fiesta Party House.' And what other hostel offers over 30 craft beers from its fridge?
