About

Sayab Hostel brings a different proposal inviting you to live the Caribbean vacation you always dreamed of!

Sayab is located in a strategic area of Playa del Carmen. We are 3 minutes walking distance from the Caribbean Sea, 200 meters from the main avenue and the downtown area where you will find supermarkets, shopping malls, nightclubs and a variety of restaurants and bars to visit on Fifth Avenue. Everything is within walking distance!
For your convenience, we are 400 meters from the ADO bus station and 600 meters from the Playa del Carmen ferry terminal. We are close to the mini bus station that will allow you to visit the most beautiful beaches and cenotes of Quintana Roo.

You will feel in the middle of the Caribbean the moment you enter our reception and receive the beautiful energy that transmits our patio surrounded by native plants with the central pool. You will instantly want to relax and dive into the pool while you taste the best drinks from our bar prepared by bartenders that will make you feel at home. If you like nature, sun and being outdoors, Sayab is your place!
The hostel has shared rooms with shared bathrooms with A/C (from 8pm to 8am), as well as private rooms with private bathroom and A/C. We offer lockers for your personal belongings, dining space, shared kitchen and the large central patio where you can relax, have fun, meet people and also enjoy the events we do such as: Live Dj Sets, Live Bands, grill, pizzas and more!
If you want to work, we have 3 Wifi networks throughout the hostel.
We also have a diving school 'GOOD VIBES DIVING' that will take you to know the beautiful Caribbean Sea! Instructors with the best good vibes will be responsible for the excellent experience you can live in the waters of Playa del Carmen.

Amazing experience, every single time! As a Playa regular visitor, I first discovered the hostel a few years ago. Even though I’ve been to tons of hostels around, Sayab is hands down the best hostel overall. Staff is amazing (shout out to Ceci, long time Sayab-er), they keep the place clean and tidy at all times, and there’s a great community of guests/fellow travelers. Love the pool, the bar, the vibes. 100% recommended!

Stayed a few nights here - due to it being low season there weren’t too many people around and therefore other hostels have felt more social. However it is spacious and a good place to relax, and with Che just across the road, you can head over to their bar in the evening for more of an atmosphere while enjoying Sayab’s spacious pool during the day
