Guests appreciated the beautiful beach and the quality of the food, but many expressed dissatisfaction with the service, cleanliness, and overall value for the price. The location was also a concern for some, as it was far from the main attractions. While some rooms were lovely, others had significant issues that detracted from the experience.

Pros (+) Beautiful location, as is all of Tulum.
Cons (-) Very loud parties thrown BY hotel. No room service No fridge Limited hot water Primitive Housekeeping walks in unannounced with no schedule to clean rooms. Pool cleaner would do the same. Private pool in our casita would be walked into regularly. Not private Housekeeping accidentally took our personal towels and hotel has still not returned
