We stayed at The Waves recently and unfortunately had a mixed experience. While the hotel is relatively new (3 years old), it already shows signs of needing significant maintenance. Several issues detracted from our stay: missing amenities in the room (chairs, pool towels, bathmat, hand towels); a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom (dirty sink and faucet); and malfunctioning elevators. The pool area also showed signs of neglect, with broken sun loungers and a hanging, broken light fixture over the pool/balcony of our room. The hotel's location is quite far from the city center, making it inconvenient to walk, and the access road is difficult to navigate by car. Furthermore, services were limited during the off-season. Overall, while the hotel has potential, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities to justify the price.

I wouldn't stay here again. The room was nice overall and it was nice having a kitchen and a private pool! The staff was lovely. However, the cleaning of the shared pools wasn't the greatest and the water wasn't clear. The room could have been cleaner too, but I guess it was acceptable. I didn't feel safe in the area as it was right next to the "slum" and the staff told me it wasn't safe to walk around in the evening. I only met friendly locals, but next time I would stay right at the beach or at least on the main road near the ADO bus station. It is much nicer.

The property was beautiful but appeared neglected. Many of the balcony pools were green. There was a small cement trench circling the garden - the water was also green. Chair on our balcony was rotting and had metal sticking through. Bathroom sink and faucet had a sticky substance I had to wash off before we could use. Kitchen faucet as well. Kitchen counter sticky and cloth came away black. One hand towel and two bath towels, no face cloth. We bought dish soap so we could clean the area. No dining options nearby and taxis very expensive. We are happy to walk generally but it wasn’t really an area it was safe to walk in the dark. We checked out 3 nights early.

I am writing to address the issues my husband and I encountered during our recent two-week stay at a property we booked for a vacation. The property did not meet our expectations as it lacked several promised amenities, appeared to be under renovation, and some areas seemed to be in disrepair. We did not receive the promised daily breakfast, the restaurant area appeared condemned, and the spa was under some renovations. Our initial room had a strong, unpleasant odor, and the second room we were given had issues with cleanliness. Several advertised amenities were not accessible, and we had internet connectivity issues. Attempts to request a refund and relocate were challenging due to unreliable internet and service in the area. In addition, the directions to the property were inadequate, and the route to the location was disconcerting, particularly after dark. In summary, our experience fell well short of expectations, and we hope these concerns can be addressed. I would like for Expedia to reach out to me by my email or phone number on file. Thank you.

We don’t even bother checking in. The facility was run down, dirty, smelly, the pictures were inaccurate, pools were dirty, bar was closed permanently let alone the swim up bar advertised. There were barking dogs everywhere and the restaurant was only opened occasionally and with a limited menu. This is not at ALL what was advertised and we were certainly not going to stay somewhere that we felt unsafe and dirty.

My first time staying was ok, this second time around not so good.
I booked a room and my cousin booked a penthouse room. Check in was late an hr or so, that was fine. My cousin got to her room 2 hrs later and the AC leaked. We just wanted towels for the leak but they insisted she change rooms.
She wanted the same style room instead she was given a different style with no view.
She also found a dirty pad in the shower.
She asked what could be done and they said a free day but never actually gave her the free day voucher

Great place and very spacious, a bit isolated but it’s progressing, mandatory to take a taxi or any type of transportation at the front of the property at night

Dirty sheets, dirty floors, dirty jacuzzi, etc. The staff was young and oblivious to what the patrons/rooms needs were. We had to ask for clean sheets, toilet paper, and room service, and they seemed bothered when asked. FYI, this hotel is built in the middle of the Tulum slums displacing the already struggling population. 0/10 stars would NOT Recommend!

The room was perfect and super clean. The amenities are lacking though and during my stay we meet a few people that thought the same. There is a pool bar just no staff working it and at the time we were there at least 15 people were at the pool. They are missing revenue by not proving this service they have promoted. The cenote is not to swim in just to see it but the light was not functioning the day went. We walked to the restaurant to order food and drinks to take to the pool area waited 10 minutes and an employee called the chef he never showed up. So overall they need to work on the amenities other than that the room was amazing.

Very cute property that’s out the way but also has things right within reach. The staff were so nice and accommodating. I LOVED my room. It also very quiet and relaxing for the most part. I traveled solo and still very safe

DID NOT STAY! Upon reading the other reviews my boyfriend and I decided to cancel our stay at the resort as there seemed to be way more negative reviews than positive. I can not review the property as we never stayed there. However, we did qualify for a refund Expedia tried numerous times to get ahold of the resort and could not. Staff would not return their or our calls/emails, eventually, Expedia just closed the case and we didn't get any sort of refund we qualified for. Just pick somewhere else and don't even try.
