I just spent 5 days at Hotelito Azul with close friends, and we had the most wonderful time! The grounds are incredibly beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and the small size of the hotel means that every room is just steps from one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. I saw several incredible sunrises over the ocean from the hotel's beachfront, and the rooftop area offered a great view of the sunset over the jungle.
The staff were friendly and accommodating, and it was easy to communicate with them via Whatsapp whenever we needed something. Griselda in housekeeping did such an amazing job keeping our rooms clean, which is no small feat for a beachfront property and all the sand that comes with it. We also really appreciated her towel folding artistry, which was a fun surprise to come back to each day.
PROS:
- Great location
- Beautiful grounds
- Clean beachfront
- Helpful & responsive staff
- Comfortable & large beds
- Nice shower
- Morning coffee delivery
- Delicious breakfast at Olivia
CONS:
- Rooms had no dressers or drawers to store clothing/belongings.
- Bathroom lighting was pretty dark, which made it less than ideal for shaving or applying makeup.
- Music was a little "party-forward" for my taste - we would have preferred music that was a little more laid-back and relaxing (at least during the daytime). We did eventually come to find this quirky and kind of charming, though.
Overall, we had a magical experience in Tulum, and our choice to stay at Hotelito Azul was a significant part of that. I can't wait to come back!
