Aroma Tulum

What an amazing little cafe! We stayed down the road at Una Vida for 5 nights and visited this cafe every morning as everything is so perfect. The food not only comes beautifully presented, but it tastes amazing too! The service is 10/10, the gentleman who served us every morning remembered us and welcomed us back each day. I could not recommend this cafe any more, if you visit, you will not be disappointed!

Staff is friendly and breakfast was so fresh and delicious. The room was very big. I was surprised. It was two king size beds! And I love the balcony! The room was clean. Very quiet so I could sleep well. The sad part was that the toilet seat in the bathroom was broken. And pool was unclean so we couldn’t go inside pool. But it’s not big deal. Price was so cheap and we could enjoy!!!

Positives: Staff was nice and welcoming. They were also generally accommodating. The beds were comfortable Cons: the “free” breakfast is very basic. For “extra” things to make it a complete meal you will have to pay. It is not as nice as the pictures. I will link down below. The rooms had a dark vibe but it was too the point where I could not get dressed properly it was so dark in the rooms. We didn’t use the pool because it didn’t look right. It also was tiny. Cosmetic things: the towels and some sheets had stains, the shower did not get hot at all, and the shower did not drain. It wasn’t terrible BUT we won’t be returning.

We stayed at Aroma for 3 days as part of our honeymoon. It is a lovely, quiet, cheap hotel & the staff are super friendly although they don't speak much English so communication is difficult unless you speak Spanish. The food is great, including the free breakfast & the drinks are good & cheap! The rooms ARE dark, but it is part of the vibe! It is an excellent hotel for the price. You can hire bikes to go to the beach - takes about 15-20 minutes. The bikes aren't the best quality but they work just fine. Be warned that taxis here are crazy expensive so if you plan on going to the beach hotels/restaurants at night then you will be paying about £25-40 (it varies drastically!) each way! so if you're looking to be near the beach then this hotel is not for you. It is in downtown Tulum which is cool & has great cafes/bars/restaurants & the bike hire makes visiting the beach during the day easy & cheap however I would not recommend using them at night as they have no lights. The staff are super friendly & I bought a bottle of tequila for my 30th birthday & they all had shots with me. The only negative we have is that we were not told about the gate locking at 10pm & the key for it, so when we arrived back late one night from a restaurant we had to whatsapp them for the code as we didn't know there was a key to take. I think they just forgot to mention this.||The taxi/transfer company that the hotel arranged for us from the airport was super great & communication was fab - we are using them again to travel to our next destination. All in all would recommend for a chill downtown Tulum cheap & instagram-able experience!

My friend and I just stayed at Aroma and we had an amazing experience! The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone wanting to get a little of everything that Tulum has to offer. It is bike-able to pretty much everything you could want like cenotes, the beach and the centro strip. It was a huge plus that they had bikes for rent in the main entrance! The staff was incredible and so friendly. They were quick to get us anything we asked for and even just to provide helpful information and recommendations for things to do/places to go. The free breakfast was delicious and just the right amount of food and the burritos are a must try for lunch/dinner. We really enjoyed that it is a smaller building because it stayed quiet and felt a lot more cozy and personable. The rooms were a bit dark with all of the black but still very comfortable and matched the vibe of the whole place! We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back again someday!

I was floored that this hotel was so cheap for how absolutely beautiful it is and for how much is included! It's really worth it, only about a 20 minute bike ride from the beach which they provide for you for free! The free breakfast is great, the staff is so nice, and the pool and rooftop are amazing! We also loved that this was an easy trip to the beach but also right in the middle of the pueblo, so you can walk around to a lot of great places a few blocks away (really great restaurants and cute outdoor cafes) and also easily get to the more upscale places on the water. Seriously nice location! Incredible aesthetics and helpful staff! The rooms really are unbelievable. Book it!

This is a perfect breakfast spot if you are staying in tulum! It has cozy and welcoming atmosphere, the food is fantastic, and the staff is AMAZING. We have come here everyday for breakfast so far and we just can’t get enough! Definitely recommend this place (and I never leave reviews)

Very nice management/ people, everyone here is nice and friendly also Lupitta the manager helped a lot and she speaks English pretty well. There free breakfast is amazing and their kitchen is bomb! I always ate here before going out. The hotel is calm and comfy to stay in relaxed. It’s just 1 street inside downtown so from here you can walk or bike (offered free) through Tulum Centro. To go to beach clubs in the beach area its a 15 minute drive. You would need a cab or rent a car. I recommend renting a car at the airport I got one of 90% insurance for $108 for 5 days, online they were asking for $250, but this is low season in September don’t know what to expect in a high season around Dec-Jan.
