Overall pretty good. It is a family owned small hotel. It is very quiet and comfortable. It is not fancy, but pretty sweet. The people working there are very nice. I have no complain and enjoyed my one-night stay there. The only issue is that the hotel is difficult to find. I walked by it twice and didn't see the entrance. The google location is correct, but the door is so easy to miss. It is a hidden gem once you found it.

My only issue was that there was no signage and I arrived on New Year's Eve and there was no attendant. There, as in most of Mexico, was no number on the outside of the building so there was no way to confirm I was at the correct place. There was also a sign on the door directing you to enter on another street which also had no signage. Eventually i knocked loudly and the staff person came to the rescue. Other days staff was at the reception door as you would expect. All else was as advertised and near perfect!!!

It was nice having a pool and a refrigerator. The air conditioner didn't cool our room to the degree we set it. A gym on the next street plays loud music in the morning. Although the staff is pleasant and most speak English, sometimes no one is around and the water is often empty. Even so, I still would stay there again as the place is in a good location at the edge of town, the price is good, and the grounds are really beautiful.

Stayed here in early October '22. Very nice quiet property. Pool was excellent. We had the standard triple room above the pool and it was perfect for us. There were some good restaurants within walking distance (La Coqueta for tacos, El Cayuco for seafood, Papaya for good 100 peso pizza) as well as a convenience store a minute away and a large grocery. Great cheap bike rentals a few blocks away (corner of Escorpion Sur and Calle Sol Ote.). Easy access to the bike paths going to the beach or to the temple area. Cheap laundromat with beer and food nearby (Bo). Great birdlife and reptiles in the courtyard, green geckos, large iguana. It's an ideal location in Tulum so long as you don't mind riding bikes to the beach. The rooftop bar (Nana) wasn't loud when we were there and they do have great cocktails (a bit spendy but good). Georgina at the front desk was very nice! We'd stay here again!

Villa Akalan is conveniently located near the Super Aki market, the Collectivo and numerous bike and car rentals. You can walk the main downtown strip in minutes and the beach access is @15-20 walk. Rooms were basic but clean. No extra amenities like shampoo, conditioner or lotion. We had issues with no hot water the first two days. We told the staff and they said they would fix it. Second night still no hot water but we had it on the third morning. Property is really small, maybe 10 units and has a security gate so we felt safe. There’s a small pool that is kept clean. Staff was very nice and professional. If you’re on a budget and want a clean no frills place, that is in walking distance to market, town and beach then you can’t go wrong with Villa Akalan.

Good Wifi, Hot Water, Smelly Bed

This is the 5th hotel I've stayed in Quintana Roo area but the first time my bed and pillows smelled like a sweaty man has been on it previously and the smell soaked into the mattress or something. I don't think it was due to the humidity in the area. My room type was "Superior room with one king bed". It's on the second floor with a very cute balcony and private staircase. The interior of the room is very basic however, with a fridge, air conditioner, ceiling fan, an old couch, a round table, no microwave, and no TV. For me it's fine because I only go back to sleep. The fact that it is really close to a Super Aki supermarket is nice but there is no kitchenette for cooking anyways. What I really enjoyed is the hot water for shower!! It gets really hot really fast. Half of the hotels I've stayed in the Q.R. area barely have hot water, or takes forever to heat up. It was a 17 minutes walk from the ADO terminal.
