I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, and the friendly and helpful staff made my experience even better. The location was great, right next to the center of Tulum, and although the dining was on a rooftop, it provided a panoramic view of Tulum.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooftop breakfast was a wonderful experience with delicious food and a panoramic view of Tulum. The pool area was beautiful and the rooms, although dark during peak hours, were very clean and detailed, offering a comfortable stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and spacious, which was great, but they felt a bit humid, especially with the white lighting. The air conditioning worked well when on, but the room got uncomfortably hot when it was off.
