Its like a Hostel but they charge like a 5 stars hotel. There was no water in my shower, the room was dirty, in my room there were no black out or courtains in all the windows of the room , so at 7 am the sun was in my face. They don’t have enough bath towels, we were 3 in the suite and they just put 3 bath towels the first day but the other days the put pool towels instead of bath towels because they didn’t have enough. There were singers at the restaurant and music from 9 am, and my room was just next to the restaurant so the music was inside my room. The only thing that its good with this hotel it is the location.

Great place to stay in Tulum if you want to be near Bagatelle and Ilios, Bombonniere, etc. Ahau is close enough to these places you can walk to, but far enough for you not to hear the loud music all night. Truly great!
