Beach front property has great views.
Service at Mereva was excellent, from Lalo at the front, to the restaurant’s food, the drinks, servers, and local spa service. On a day without smelly sargassum, the pier massage was so nice. They treated us well and we almost wanted to stay longer.
I recommend swimming in the pools or at the cenote across the road. There’s a crocodile resident; everyone assures he has never attacked humans and only eats birds. His name is Panchito, I didn’t see him.
The water is clear, and you can bring or rent snorkel gear. Many scuba here as well, tiny fish. If Panchito is a deal breaker, the region has thousands of other sacred cenotes for swimming. Have a car, transport is exp.
Tulum’s coast is being affected by sargassum. The staff seemed overwhelmed by it as the manual clean up crew made a tiny dent each morning.
I wish the rooms were more sound proof. We only had hot water one day.
Also, the pier and beach area didn’t feel private. We couldn’t relax or keep our eyes closed with random non hotel guests coming and going through the small pier, past the hotel beach, and past our room’s sliding door. Unfriendly foreigners come and went every day for scuba tours.
The hammocks: 1 per room patio. Those shown on the beach weren’t there. Several at the pier were cool, but a female French instructor likes changing out of scuba gear there and seems more annoyed with us in her way there than concerned about hitting me while trying to relax.
