It was the right balance of being in walking distance of the center of Tulum, with lots of restaurants, shops, etc., but not right in the center, so it was not too noisy at night. The shared kitchen with shared refrigerator and place to eat on the roofdeck were great. Although we did not cook, there is a grocery store across the street with late hours, so we bought some food for breakfast, which we could put in the refrigerator, and it was nice to meet other tourists at breakfast time.
