Excellent price. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful property. Pet friendly. The only disappointment was the long distance from the beach and tourist area. You need a car or taxi

Cruz, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are super cute! Was a little disappointed by the size of the outside “jacuzzi” that didn’t even get hot. The room service was alright but the vibes of the overall hotel were good.
Michelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Part of the hotel it seems that they don’t work on it so it looks like is going down, like the area of the pool, the cenote that it’s inside the hotel. Room had a lot of humidity and it smell bad the first day we got there, and by the 3rd day the smell got worst. In the other hand rooms are confortable, the jacuzzi on our balcony was good, the ambient was nice, workers were very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

I cannot tell you guys about how much I recommend this place and how I have no words to describe The wonderful time I had at this hotel I loved every single moment of 5 days i stayed at this hotel. The staff from front desk to bars to resturant, housekeeping were is so nice and so willing to help, even though we had language barrier. The front desk person specially were so helpful, they are so quick to answer all your questions and so quick to help with whatever you it.

Humber Alonso, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Friendly staff. No hand or face towels at all just two bath towels. Breakfast is brought to you and it’s okay. No pool bar no restaurant. Pools are not clean only the rooftop pool is clean due to no trees hanging over it. Close to authentic Tulum and strip.
Athena Alexandria, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall, the property and the units are nice. Particularly for the price. The staff take very good care of the property and are friendly. The negatives are that you essentially have to go to the lobby to get any kind of assistance, the toilets clogged very easily, and the property does not provide wash cloths.
Divina, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel was not only filthy ( i lost a flip flop and looked under the bed and there was trash and dirt) but broken down. Our toilet didnt work for 3 days, forcing us to check out early and they refused to refund us. No staff at pool bars and breafast hours were changed or cancelled without notice. Absolutely horrible experience
Corrina, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

The good thing is that the room does look exactly as pictured. There are a few convience stores and tiny restaurants within daytime walking distance. However the hotel has no restaurant, the swim up bar as advertised is there- you just have to bring your own drinks. If you’re traveling solo this isn’t for you. The only entry way to the hotel was full of huge mud puddles. We rented an atv to get around and they forced us to park in garage- more mud puddles to access, when there was bike parking in front of hotel.
Sherrell, 3-night trip
