110 m² ROOFTOP — A SIGNIFICANT VALUE-ADD
The property includes a 110 m² rooftop terrace, professionally waterproofed in 2025. Approximately half of the terrace is covered by a substantial metal structure providing protection from sun and rain. A dedicated bar structure has already been installed, including a double stainless-steel sink and 5-burner stainless-steel cooktop, providing a solid starting point for the future owner to complete and develop the space.
The rooftop already provides an additional social area for guests and benefits from beautiful Caribbean sunsets.

WHY PUERTO MORELOS? Puerto Morelos combines the international appeal of the Riviera Maya with a more authentic local atmosphere than the larger tourist centers of Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Hostel Humanity is 25 minutes from Cancun International Airport, 5 minutes' walk from the central park and 3 km from the Caribbean Sea. It also has an easy access to Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
We can also highlight its international tourism and growing expatriate community, the mesoamerican coral reef, cenotes and jungle activities nearby and strong connection to the wider Riviera Maya tourism market. Puerto Morelos continues to attract international visitors and new tourism investment while retaining its distinctive character.
MORE THAN A BUSINESS : Hostel Humanity was built from the ground up by its founder, Sophie, who left France to create a place where travelers could meet, share experiences and feel at home. Since opening in 2017, the hostel has welcomed travelers from around the world. Now, after ten years, it is ready for its next chapter.
The new owner will have the opportunity to take over an established hospitality business while benefiting from the founder's experience, local knowledge, operational know-how and network during the transition.
