Beautiful Rooms & Great Sleep — but Location + Practical Issues to Consider
We stayed here for a few nights near Tulum and the room itself was absolutely stunning. The bed was extremely comfortable, everything felt modern and clean, and aesthetically the hotel really delivers.
A few things to note:
• The pool is beautiful but very cold.
We visited in November and it was too cold to enjoy, so while it looks amazing in photos, we never actually swam.
• Limited hotel grounds.
Outside of the room and pool, there isn’t much common area to explore. The upside is that it’s right beside a cenote, which you can pay to access.
• Location is tricky.
It’s about a 10-minute drive from downtown Tulum. Normally that wouldn’t bother me, but taxis here charge extremely high prices, so transportation really adds up. We ended up renting an ATV in town (much cheaper than the hotel’s price), but keep in mind:
– If you drive yourself, you absolutely cannot have any drinks because there are police checkpoints.
– If you come home late, you’ll likely have to rely on taxis, which I personally don’t find very safe in Mexico. If you do take one, do not pay with your credit card.
• Water situation could be better.
There’s room service, but we didn’t use it. I do really wish there was free drinking water stocked in the room. When I went to the kitchen and asked, they did offer complimentary water - but it would be great if there was already a jug in the room.
Overall, I’d give this hotel four stars. The rooms are gorgeous and the sleep quality is amazing, but the location, transportation costs, and small practical inconveniences make it less convenient than expected.
