Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casa Kimaya, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
We recommend requesting rooms on higher floors (4th floor and above) to minimize potential street noise from Avenida Tulum. Additionally, opting for rooms facing the interior of the hotel can provide a quieter experience compared to those with a city view.
Rooms to avoid
Be aware that rooms near the lift on lower floors (1st-2nd floor) might experience more noise from guests and staff movement. Rooms near the service entrance on the ground floor may also be noisier due to staff activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Avenida Tulum doesn't provide a beachfront view. However, rooms with a city view may offer a glimpse of the surrounding area.
Quietest floors
The 3rd-5th floors are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the potential for street noise on lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Avenida Tulum is a consideration, particularly on lower floors. Additionally, the hotel's location near the service entrance may result in some noise from staff activity.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, consider asking for a room near the lift on higher floors to minimize the walk to the parking area. 2. Be sure to request a room with a safe to store your valuables, as this is a standard amenity at Casa Kimaya.

Top Attractions in Cancun
💡 Go around 6pm when the vendors set up—marquesitas (crispy rolled crepes with cheese and Nutella) are a must-try for 20 pesos. Sit on a bench and watch the families.
💡 Start at the food court area—order a cochinita pibil taco (slow-roasted pork) for about 15 pesos. For shopping, bargain to 50% of the first price quoted, and pay in cash for better deals. Arrive after 10am when everything opens.
💡 Go early (before 9am) to claim a spot under a palapa—there's very little shade otherwise. The waves can be strong in the afternoon.
💡 The museum is inside the Hotel Zone near the convention centre—combine it with a walk through the adjoining San Miguelito ruins (same ticket, no extra cost). Allow 90 minutes.
💡 Take a colectivo from downtown (marked 'Puerto Juárez')—it drops you at the entrance. Bring insect repellent and water; there's no shade on the site. Arrive before 11am to avoid the heat.
