It was nice having a pool and a refrigerator. The air conditioner didn't cool our room to the degree we set it. A gym on the next street plays loud music in the morning. Although the staff is pleasant and most speak English, sometimes no one is around and the water is often empty. Even so, I still would stay there again as the place is in a good location at the edge of town, the price is good, and the grounds are really beautiful.

Very nice property, Very much safe.
Few really good eating place in walking distance.
only problem we faced was no hot water in our rooms.
But they gave us extra room to use washrooms.
On the whole, it was a very nice stay.

Small villa but if is just to spend the night is fine, the hot water is not continuous fluent comes and goes, shower head just pour water everywhere, no toilet paper for the first two days, dark street from the villa to the main road, no coffee on the room or on the front desk.

I liked how central it was. Very close to the main strip and lots of shopping and dining options close by. The room had a fridge which worked very well. The pool was nice and the option to refill the free water was a nice touch! Free coffee too.

Perfect place for exploring Tulum and its surrounding. Quiet and peaceful accomodation to chill at the pool after a busy day. Perfect base to explore the town at night. Downtown is in nearby walking-distance.
Highly recommended!

Stayed here in early October '22. Very nice quiet property. Pool was excellent. We had the standard triple room above the pool and it was perfect for us. There were some good restaurants within walking distance (La Coqueta for tacos, El Cayuco for seafood, Papaya for good 100 peso pizza) as well as a convenience store a minute away and a large grocery. Great cheap bike rentals a few blocks away (corner of Escorpion Sur and Calle Sol Ote.). Easy access to the bike paths going to the beach or to the temple area. Cheap laundromat with beer and food nearby (Bo). Great birdlife and reptiles in the courtyard, green geckos, large iguana. It's an ideal location in Tulum so long as you don't mind riding bikes to the beach. The rooftop bar (Nana) wasn't loud when we were there and they do have great cocktails (a bit spendy but good). Georgina at the front desk was very nice! We'd stay here again!

Amazing pool and garden. Each unit has a private outdoor patio or balcony and we had a full sized refrigerator. No soap or shampoo so bring your own. Surprisingly quiet for a busy area. Would book agaun.

All staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was spacious but needing some improvements/refurbishment. Common areas are really nice, green and well maintained. The hotel is around 10 minutes from the center with is great for the noise. It's a shame they don't provide breakfast in their room rates.

Please do not waist your time at this property; extremely bad condition. Towels were very old and not clean. Small room, dirty bathroom. No TV. Late night party at the near by room and we could not sleep. Water leaking below the sink. Not all lights in the room was working. No pressure in the water.

This is the 5th hotel I've stayed in Quintana Roo area but the first time my bed and pillows smelled like a sweaty man has been on it previously and the smell soaked into the mattress or something. I don't think it was due to the humidity in the area.
My room type was "Superior room with one king bed". It's on the second floor with a very cute balcony and private staircase. The interior of the room is very basic however, with a fridge, air conditioner, ceiling fan, an old couch, a round table, no microwave, and no TV. For me it's fine because I only go back to sleep. The fact that it is really close to a Super Aki supermarket is nice but there is no kitchenette for cooking anyways.
What I really enjoyed is the hot water for shower!! It gets really hot really fast. Half of the hotels I've stayed in the Q.R. area barely have hot water, or takes forever to heat up.
It was a 17 minutes walk from the ADO terminal.

This a great property. People were very nice and always very accommodating. Beautiful pool. Small number of guests so very peaceful. Excellent location to the town of Tulum and close to the beach. Would definitely return again and recommend it to others. A good value.

property is pretty with lots of trees and greenery and a scenic pool area. there was always a place to park. the night desk clerk at check-in was very very helpful and went above and beyond. there is a complimentary drinking water cooler at the check-in desk but at night it was empty. i was unable to contact the property by phone before check-in, and hotels.com was unable to reach them either, which would have been unfortunate if i had any issues finding the property or checking in.
the room i had (cheapest room, double bed) was extremely bare and sparse, and the bed was hard as a rock (and i normally sleep on a firm mattress). i was only there for 2 nights but i could not have stayed longer. there was a mini fridge provided but it was placed outside the room so it was not secure. there is a small slot window in the bathroom with no screen, looking out into a weird creepy crevice of the building and a wooded area beyond. the room was extremely humid even with the a/c running at 22 degrees C, so it was necessary to have the window open to vent the bathroom. the shower head needed to be replaced (most likely clogged with mineral deposits) because the spray was in all directions and didn't provide enough water pressure despite water pressure at the sink being fine. i also found the temperature to be inconsistent depending upon what i assume is others using water at the same time. the only toiletries provided were a pump container of liquid hand soap at the sink and shower.

the hotel has a big potential with the layout of its property (parking space, great first impression, spaceous rooms, pool, garden-like embellishment); however, its housekeeping and the general management of the property need to seriously be improved.
we were given a room with 1 towel only, despite specifying we are a party of 2; and no toiletries were intially provided in the bathroom/toilet. upon requesting for toiletries, we were given sachets of shampoo, and two bottles of liquid hand soap - one of which we were told to use as a bodywash.
receptionist Swami said there's hot coffee at the reception area during breakfast time; but it was not there the next morning. good thing we at least saw it there the second morning. moreover, no hot drinking water is available for other purposes.
the pool is not cleaned, evident due to a dark green hue (moss starting to grow on the sides).
these lapses were still fine. what was horrible and totally unacceptable were the beddings. we first noticed that the sheets, pillows, and pillow cases smelled like dried sweat - the type that sticks and lingers on your hair, skin, and clothes. this prompted us to pull the outer sheets only to discover that the sheet underneath was with a dried blood stain! it's as if the linens were not changed after someone used them.
proper maintenance and housekeeping should be practised to take this otherwise amazing property to its full potential.
