Maria del Mar Boutique Hotel & Spa

Maria del Mar is a small hotel in a quiet part of Tulum. It has access to a lovely beach with nice loungers - there were always loungers free and they are not crowded together. Our room was great - spotlessly clean and spacious.||The team are really friendly and helpful. There is a nice restaurant next door (our only gripe was a very limited wine selection) and other good restaurants nearby. We got our laundry picked up/dropped off.||A lovely gem of a place and we hope to return!

Great small hotel at the beach and very close to other restaurants and shops. Room was nice and big pool. Mina restaurant also very good. The pizza across the street also very good. 711 nearby so it's convenient. Nice beach cove and keep clean.

Mid at best. However, price did not was extremely high for what was offered. ||Beach was full of algae, bed was hard AF, no tv in the rooms, hotel trying to gouge in any request. Asked for transportation from the airport and the offed for $168. Found my own private car for $70. Next was lunch at Mina not good at all. Felt underwhelmed.

Fabulous small hotel with very friendly helpful staff. Special shout out to Daniel - the manager who couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We had a penthouse room which was really lovely. Very large, super comfy bed, plenty of hangers!!!!! (Why oh why are some hotels so mean with their hangers?) And a huge bathroom. ||The pool is lovely, the beach great with a lovely friendly member of staff clearing the seaweed away each day. ||The hotel is outside Tulum along a small stretch of other small hotels, bars and restaurants, a few shops and a gallery so not too busy, although enough to do for us. We did go into Tulum one evening (15 minute drive) and wandered up Avineda Tulum. || Lovely breeze at this time of year made sunbathing a delight and some wave jumping fun. ||Would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

This was such an amazing find. This is a super cute little resort and it was perfect for our romantic getaway. ||Excellent pool, fantastic staff, great food and access to a beautiful private beach. ||Highly recommended for your stay in Tulum. A real gem.

Beautiful little hotel, just what I was looking for! Welcome cocktails really nice, room amazing, bed extremely comfortable and a very big shower. The only noises are birds singing and the sea. |The beach is really tiny and from it you can see the turquoise water, even if this summer was full of sea weeds. Don’t let this stop you! The swimming pool is really nice and there are plenty of wonderful beaches to discover.|The staff is really the cherry on top of the cherry cake!!! All of them but Santiago at the reception has become our guardian angel since day one. He helped us with tours arrangements, taxis, local amenities but most of all he was always checking on us to make sure we were okay and having the best time ever! |Thank you with all my heart ❤️

When it was new, Maria Del Mar boutique hotel and spa would have been gorgeous. You can imagine its former glory. Now however it is old and in desperate need of maintenance. The photos advertising this hotel are from days gone by.||Maria Del Mar hotel is a series of contradictions, with clean rooms and a good restaurant, alongside a pool that was dirty for our first 3 days and even after a clean, didn’t look inviting (during our 6 day stay we never saw anyone swim in it). The timber throughout the hotel, particularly on the stairs and boardwalks, is faded, subsiding and in some places completely rotten. One deck was replaced during our stay. It must have been very dangerous, as many of the decks need replacing.||The fan in our room creaked incessantly, so was better left off. Fortunately, there is an a/c unit to cool the room down. Towels and sheets are only replaced every 3 days for environmental reasons, but the towels simply didn’t well dry between uses and need more regular changing. And, don’t bother trying the hairdryer as it only occasionally worked.||The ocean viewing platform which includes the “spa” is tired and looks abandoned. Old rain soaked books sit in a water damaged and rotting cupboard and the remnants of a massage area sit forlornly.||One saving grace was the staff who were friendly.||We came to Maria Del Mar from a lovely hotel in Mexico City, so were disappointed to be paying more for substantially less quality.||This is a 3 star hotel masquerading as something better. Think twice before booking here.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel itself and the room were nice, the pool area was also cool and well kept.|We appreciated also the location, not in the party zone and close to some nice spots where to grab something to eat/drink|Unfortunately it’s not getting 5/5 because of a few details missing:|- Our room had very few lights so at night it was quite dark|- The sink in the bathroom wasn’t working properly|- The access to the beach had a bit of trash on the sand (such as bottle caps or plastic bottles) and could have been cleaned better.||That however hasn’t affected the quality of our stay and I would come back!
