The hotel was small as it only has 6 rooms. The room was clean and had a little balcony area where you could relax. Outside of the room the hotel had a small pool which was clean and not crowded with sun-loungers. The staff onsite were courteous and friendly whilst answering many of our questions.
Unfortunately, we had some obnoxious guests during our stay who would go out and party then come back screaming obscenities in the early hours of the morning that disturbed the otherwise peaceful vibe. Then when they left they banged their suitcases down the stairs very loudly.
Areas I believe the guest experience could be improved is by increasing the water pressure in the shower, as the water barely trickled out and by offering breakfast to the guests which it did in the past.

Great beds, large room, super clean, super friendly staff, very close to great food. We forgot our passports in the room and they kept it safe until we were able to go back to the hotel to get it back.
The pool is really small, the pictures of pool are misleading

Room large and clean, we had the top floor with balcony and table etc. All windows have mosquito nets and there is a ceiling fan as well as AC. Small communal area downstairs was useful and the staff always cheerful and helpful. It is walkable to loads of restaurants and a short drive to the beach.
nothing to complain about

The staff was amazing. Enrique and Mayumy did everything to make us feel at home. Special thanks to Enrique for taking such good care about our questions and needs. The room was very big and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. Wifi was also great and worked very well. There are a lot of good restaurant options around. Bikes are offered for rent in the hotel.
The hotel is not very close to Tulum center, which can also be good as it was quiet with less traffic. It is far from the beach.

Very spacious rooms, good shower, comfy beds.
Room 4, second floor.
Although the hotel is in a fairly quiet area, there are roosters next door. So be prepared to be waken up at 0430hr...
Transport of some kind is also needed to be able to explore. The hotel is far from the beach area and cenotes.

The staff are exceptionally helpful. Beds firm as I prefer them and room, grounds very clean! It’s very quiet but close to gourmet coffee shops, Italian bistros and wood fired pizza places!

They try to sell you tours which are very touristic. Casa tortuga was a bit disappointing but not too bad

The location was great, very close to bars and restaurants. You can rent bikes from the hotel, but they can be found cheaper elsewhere.
The room was huge!
There were loads of mosquitoes in the room when I arrived so I got bitten a lot. The pool is really small, smaller than I'd thought from the photos.
The hotel took a "pre-authorisation" on my card for the whole cost of the stay and a deposit for the towels (amounting to almost £200). He said that he would cancel this cost of my stay and charge my card again as they had to do the pre-authorisation. He said it would be returned to me within 72 hours. I queried this and asked if he could not just push through the pre-authorised amount, considering it was already pending but he said he could not. Its now been 8 days and the money still hasn't been returned to me. I've messaged him a few times and now he has told me that it will be within 20 business days, which I think is totally unacceptable.
The hotel also offered to arrange an airport transfer for me which was great, but due to me travelling, I didn't have signal. I arrived in Mexico and sent a message to ask if one had been arranged but didn't get a response, I then found my own taxi after going through passport control, etc. And got a message from the owner when I had left the airport to say that a driver was there waiting for me. I apologised a lot and he said it was fine, but he was annoyed and a bit rude when I arrived.
Everywhere was clean, but there was quite a smell from the drains (which isn't uncommon for Mexico)

The personel, clean spacious room.
everything was good here.
maybe a chrome cast so that is can stream stuff from my phone to the TV or a HDMI cable so that I can connect my laptop. also a small cabinet around the fridge so that you hear it less in the night.
