Mosquito repellent (especially for jungle spots like Tulum)
-
Reusable water bottle—hydration is everything
-
Power bank for nonstop content creation
-
One nice outfit for dinner or rooftop cocktails

Where to Go & What to Do
Cancún
The ultimate mix of chill and thrill. Think turquoise beaches by day and rooftop parties at night. Don’t miss a day trip to Isla Mujeres or the underwater museum (MUSA).
Tulum
Nature, design, and a slower rhythm. Bike through the jungle, dive into cenotes, explore ancient ruins, and end with a cocktail at golden hour.
Isla Mujeres
Everything slows down here—and that’s the beauty of it. Calm beaches, fresh seafood, and golf cart adventures make it the perfect reset.
Los Cabos
Where desert meets sea in the most epic way. Surf or soak, hike or relax—and take in sunsets that feel unreal.
Getting Around
-
In Cancún and Tulum, most spots are bikeable or a short taxi ride from our locations.
-
On Isla Mujeres, rent a golf cart (you can do it through our site or at the front desk).
-
In Los Cabos, rent a car if you want to explore the area—but apps like Uber work too.
Need a ride from the airport? Book your shuttle through our website or at the front desk at any Mayan Monkey location.
Pro Tip: Don’t Overplan
Some of the best memories come from the unplanned. All you really need is a place with good energy, great people, and a solid bed at the end of the day.
That’s Mayan Monkey.
And this summer, we’re saving you a spot.
