Description   The Cancun Nest

When you walk through the Nest’s front door, the first thing you’ll see is a big sign which says, “Estás en tu Casa.” Literally, it means “You are in your home.” And that’s the way we hope you’ll feel at the Nest.

Although right in the 24-hour-a-day heart of downtown Cancun, between the city’s two most entertaining streets, the Nest invites you to kick off your sandals, relax with a cold beer in the garden, and enjoy the Lopez family’s warm brand of hospitality.

The Nest is a cozy, intimate hostel only 450 or so metres from the bus station. One block from Tulum Avenue, Cancún main street. One block from Yaxchilan Ave., with all its restaurants and night spots. And one block from Palapas Park, the city’s heart. A fresh fruit for breakfast every morning. Movie nights on Mondays and Thursdays. Just minutes from glorious Caribbean beaches in one direction and the hundreds of shops at Cancun’s famous Mercado 28. Hot showers and laundry.

You enter the Nest through stylish but sturdy security gates that keep Cancun open to the Nest but assure that NestGuests can rest safe and secure when they come home at night.

The Front Garden is full of flowers and trees and shrubs. A relaxing place for people-watching. Tables to chill out and talk, to enjoy your breakfast or a cool drink at twilight.

Reception is in the lounge, a bright room with comfortable sofas and squishy beanbag chairs. Books and games. Cable TV and computers to keep in touch with home and with the world.

Just off he lounge is the big, bright and very complete kitchen, large and modern and perfect for cooking your own meals, if you want. (And where every morning you’ll find a complimentary breakfast of fresh fruit, baguettes, cakes, toast, jam, butter, fresh coffee and tea.)

Most dorms and rooms open off The Breakfast Room with its cabaret tables and chairs. It’s a quiet place to enjoying your morning coffee or to read or relax or write post cards home any time of day. Each dorm or room has its own character.

Hufflepuff is the dorm reserved for women only. Four bunk beds and night-time air-conditioning (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) to make Cancun’s sultry nights comfortable.

Dumbledore, a large and comfortable private room with a double bed, night time air-conditioning and private bath – maybe the best hotel room bargain in Cancun.

Slytherin, a compact (think of a compartment on a train), cozy, colorful private room with bunk beds for two people, its own private bath, air conditioning from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. and a bonus ceiling fan that will blow your socks off. Tiny, but – wow! – definitely a private accommodation bargain you're unlikely to find anywhere else in Cancun!!

Ravenclaw, a mixed dorm with only four bunks and the wonderful luxury of night time air-conditioning.

Gryffindor, the big dorm, with 12 low-cost bunks, a bunch of very effective fans and an en suite bathroom.

Choose what suits you best. Whichever you chose, estás en tu casa.

Directions

From the Airport, take the very comfortable bus downtown ($35 pesos) or take a taxi ($450 pesos). Your choice. We prefer $35 pesos! The bus leaves from the south end of Terminal 2 and arrives at the downtown but terminal in 25 minutes. The Nest is only 450 metres from the downtown terminal.

Turn right as you exit the bus terminal directly onto Tulum Av., Cancun's main street. Walk 40 meters around the building to the pedestrian crosswalk at Uxmal Ave. Cross Uxmal and you'll be in front of Sanborn's. Go left and walk about 300 metres south on Tulum Ave. to Claveles St. The Hotel Antillano is on the corner. Turn right onto Claveles and walk a short block to the little park. On the other side of the park, you'll see the Nest. Come on in and make yourself at home!
