Every now and then a homestay earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Alce33, in Downtown Cancun, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel modest; the touches travellers mention most are on-site parking and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With around 530 reviews on the books and a solid average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €23 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Alce33 reads as one of those Cancun addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
