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. Private pool in our casita would be walked into regularly. Not private Housekeeping accidentally took our personal towels and hotel has still not returned
