TULUM Posada Los Mapaches WARNING ABOUT LOCATION

Just a short post to warn anybody else thinking of staying at the Posada Los Mapaches in Tulum.

Although it looks perfect from the website, it is actually located next to the main north-south highway (4 lane) so at night it gets a lot of noise from passing trucks and buses. The owner is not very sympathetic about this and given that the hostel is not particulary cheap or with great facilities (no public kitchen or tv for example) then I am sure that it is possible to find quieter, better places nearer the centre. It is about 1.5km from the centre as well. I certainly regretted staying there.

So if you want a good nights sleep then choose carefully!!!

I heard the weary traveler is a decent place to stay. I have a little beach hut in Sian Kaan. Next time you talk about Tulum, visit my site... wwwdottulumtalkdotcom
