Great hostel/hotel to stay at in Central Cozumel. Two kitchens, two pools and two "tree" elevated locations for relaxing. Four blocks from grocery store and plenty of bars and restaurants surround the area. 15 min walk to beach.

I stayed in their hostel and it’s an acceptable situation considering the price and location. The staff are amazing too! They got two pools and a hammock.

I stayed here 3 nights in the dorms. comments about cleanliness are true. not sure about the private rooms, but the facilities doesnt seem to get much cleaning. of course if you need just a place to store your stuff and sleep for the night... yeah OK. there are few positives: location is central; rooftop pool and downstairs pool Cafe area are great and actually clean, and price is decent.

It was a easy hostel. No problem to check in. There are 2 pools. One on the rooftop and another near the kitchenette. It's near the center so quiet easy to find. Thanks to have someone late at the desk for the check-in. We were sharp on time.
