The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Whether you are in San Miguel to take advantage of the excellent scuba diving or just to chill and hang and soak up some Caribbean sun, 2tank Dive Hostel & School Cozumel has you covered. With a central and extremely convenient location; clean, comfortable surrounds; and informative staff for all your touristic needs, 2tank has you covered.
The Location
The hostel is located smack dab in the middle of San Miguel's touristy heart. The street it is on leads straight through the town square to the main strip and onward to the ferry port. Really everything you could possibly require for a relaxing time in San Miguel is within easy walking (stumbling) distance -- transportation in the forms of both the ferry or the taxis that wait nearby, restaurants, bars, and convenience stores. The supermarket is a bit more of a walk, but it is along the ocean so it's a pretty walk at least.
Rooms and Bathrooms
Dorm rooms vary from five to eight, deluxe to regular (determined by whether the air conditioning is on all day or only at night) and mixed or female-only. Rooms are comfortable and reasonably spacious with in-room lockers for valuables and a lock on the dorm room (each guest has his or her own key). Privates are two-, three-, or four-person rooms; all rooms share the same showers and bathrooms. Toilets and showers are plentiful and clean; showers have plenty of options in terms of hocks and shelves for item placement.
Common Spaces
Common spaces are confined to one mega area by the reception, but it is still pretty nice with a good, clean, modern kitchen that opens into the rest of the hostel common space where there is a high table for a dining table and a scattering of couches and chairs. It's a pretty basic common area (hammocks ... why aren't there hammocks?) but it is also a great place to relax and meet other travelers pre- and post-dive. There is a book exchange and all-day free coffee and tea to bring you to this area, even if there aren't any other travelers with which to hang.
Summary
Some hostels just get it and 2tank definitely does. The only complaint is as a dive hostel, there should probably be more clotheslines; but if that's the most pertinent issue, then this hostel is doing pretty all right.

Location and Contact
Location
• From passenger ferry: • It's very easy and closer than you think (only 180 meters). From the ferry pier, cross the beach boulevard, walk on the left side of the main square on Ave Lic Benito Juarez. We located just 30 meters after the first corner on the right-hand side of Avenida Lic Benito Juarez. • From the CZM International Airport: • Take a taxi and come to the passenger ferry. From there follow the instructions above.
