The pool was cloudy and did not look fit for swimming. I would not get in that water. The bed sheets were not clean, there was dirt and even strands of hair. I ended up leaving and going and staying somewhere else. I would not go back there personally.

This was our first stay of our big Tren Maya trip. Upon arrival we had some commuting issues but the staff were accommodating, attentive and helpful. We stayed here twice within our 2 week trip. We would recommend this stay to others.

Stayed two nights. Friendly staff. Unfortunately the a/c system blowing cold air has a mold issue. Woke up each morning with bad mold symptoms. The toilets were always dirty throughout the stay. Shower facilities need updating. It doesn’t get quiet until around 1-2 am, as it’s next to some live music each night. First night i arrived, my pillow case has a bit of blood on it, but got it changed fast. All in all it seemed like a nice stay, but it should be half the price as listed. Things are getting out of hand for how expensive tulum is in general for the quality it’s offering isn’t up the the price point.
