Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests loved the beautiful location of the hotel, especially the proximity to the beach and nature. However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the service, citing issues like unannounced housekeeping and lack of privacy. Cleanliness was also a concern, with reports of dirty rooms and inadequate maintenance. Overall, while the setting is stunning, the service and upkeep do not meet expectations for a hotel of this caliber.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) Beautiful location, as is all of Tulum.
Cons (-) Very loud parties thrown BY hotel. No room service No fridge Limited hot water Primitive Housekeeping walks in unannounced with no schedule to clean rooms. Pool cleaner would do the same.
