Hotel El Corazón (Cancun, Mexico)

Though breakfast doesn't include a lot of variety, it is large, with toast and eggs made to order every morning. Alternatively, the staff has a number of recommendations for where you can go for cheap, tasty food.

The dollars per night ratio is potentially ideal for someone trying to conserve their funds for spending on other things.

In standard hostel style, the sleeping rooms are communal, with a number of beds or bunk beds assembled in a single room, accommodating up to six guests at a time.

Some guests have complained of a certain lack of enthusiasm and professionalism from the staff (particularly those on the night shift).Still, most reviews paint the staff in a very helpful, friendly light. All the same, if you prefer to be careful when travelling and not wanting to leave things to chance, this hotel may not be your best option.

The rooms have been known to flood during rain. However, the management of the hotel insists that they should be renovating soon.

A number of guests have commented that the water in the pool is a distinct green colour. Although those who chose to swim in it found it agreeable enough, if the prospect of swimming in green water does not appeal to you (and you're really looking for a hotel whose pool you will use), you might want to look elsewhere.
