The staff were super helpful and attentive.
The room was clean and comfortable for my wife and I. We had a commuting issue to get here but they were understanding. We would recommend to couples and families to stay here.
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.
This place is truly beautiful. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere extremely relaxing. Shared facilities but all the time clean. It is in a perfect location between the beach and the town.
Great room with a great location. 10 minute bike ride to beach with cheap streetfood about a 10 minute walk away. The tranquility of the pool area was very relaxng and free drinking water is always a plus. Will be back for sure.
This place is amazing! Super relaxing, beautiful and eco friendly. Loved the food onsite and the options around it. It is not your usual Tulum place and that is what makes it the best
The comfort suite is wonderful. Beautiful room and the most comfortable bed i have ever slept in! Unfortunately i cannot say the same for the lower priced rooms which are incredibly small. Staff is friendly and location is perfect
