Excelent hotel… the best option for zipolite beach… the restaurant is very nice and delicious… recomendation: ask for rooms with Air Conditioning..

I was skeptical if the price was worth it, and the place exceeded all my expectations. Stop searching and BOOK NOW.

special place that is worth the splurge. We had a suite close to the water that was super private yet close to the beach,pool & restaurant. The location is perfect as it’s close enough to walk anywhere but this end of Zipolite Beach is definitely quieter. The staff could not have been more friendly & attentive to any of our questions or requests. Our only issue was the pool was so chlorinated that ourselves & other guests we talked to didn’t really use it which was a shame as the setting was really nice & chill.

Property was very nice. Staff was good but service was very slow at reception and at the restaurant. Prices are too high for what you get. Also had poor communication with front desk. They ask you to use WhatsApp and EVENTUALLY reply. Bad experience upon departure. One person help three groups!! THEN Our taxi was negotiated at one price with the front desk and the driver later asked for much more!!! Consumer BEWARE.

Outstanding choice for a quality hotel in Zipolite

The room was simple, but perfect, facing the sunrise, yet still protected from the direct rays of the sun by the beautiful vegetation on the hotel property. We will be back here in 2024.

Excellent location, Nice views , friendly staff

Exceeded our expectations. The view from our room was spectacular. Food and drinks from restaurant are good. Staff are respectful and nice. Has a lot of amenities to offer. If renting a car, there is free parking and they have ample spots. If taking a taxi, front desk can also arrange it for you. Nicely designed hotel. Would really recommend!

Great stay!

This is by far the nicest place in zipolite by far. I have been there several times the restaurant is fantastic. And they open early. However they need to modernize some Areas. My first room was unacceptable and they provided another

one word - Paradise. Beautiful and cozy place, perfect to relax and enjoy life

enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Great friendly staff. good restaurant. changed our room to one with A/C with great view and terrace at not extra charge. Thank you.

Zipolite is such a special place and El Alchemista is a lovely hotel situated on the most beautiful area of the beach. The rooms are very comfortable with solid A/C. The staff are very kind and hospitable in every facet. As for the restaurant, the food and seafood are exceptionally fresh. Every item I tried was ok, but the tuna tostado, ceviche and guacamole are very delicious. The restaurant waiters and the stunning front row view of the rocks and crashing waves made the experience truly special. Would absolutely stay again. Gracias para un viaje hermoso!

Unbeatable location, right at the end of Zipolite beach with amazing rock formations. Restaurant was the highlight - excellent food and service and stunning views. Yoga studio and instructors were top notch. Room was a bit dated but generously sized and comfortable with outdoor shower.

Flawless. An incredible well run establishment. Spectacular

Patio garden area needed attention, had not been cleaned up

5 Star quality for all aspects.

An all fresh, tasty breakfast on the beach watching the waves, with very attentive service, a nice comfortable room, mosquito netting, Yucatan honey amenities so exotic, a hammock on the terraza, warm shower, just paradise! Dinner is very high end as well and lets you enjoy an epic sunset.

I’ve been here many times and I always leave wanting to stay more time. Always a great service from everyone at Alquimista

I originally booked a double room but found it dark, so I upgraded to the Grand Suite. It was a good call. The view was beyond gorgeous. The staff is exceptional. They do everything with a smile, and no request is too small. One note, this place is not for anyone with mobility issues. There are many stairs and very steep inclines. The restaurant is exceptional. It's more expensive than most places in Zipolite but still a bargain for the quality. The location is ideal. Everything is within a 15-minute walk.

LOVED the people!

Overall I had a great experience at El Alquimista. The room was clean and had plenty of ventilation, the restaurant was good, drinks were strong, and it was still very affordable! Situated on the west side of the beach, you can walk to Playa del Amor in about 15/20 minutes.

Great property was very comfortable and staff was very friendly, Specially front desk.

It was hit by a hurricane a few weeks before we arrived. We were assured by the receptionist that it was okay and everything was supposed to be fine, But upon arrival to our room the AC did not work (until a specialist came the next day), The shower was lukewarm at best and there was no WIFI. The room that i paid for was destroyed by the hurricane so we got another room that was nice but had no mosquito net so we slept with a bunch of bugs in bed. And when i told about my experience to the receptionist she said that she can't compensate me so she just gave us a discount at the hotel restaurant which is extremely pricy and the food is ok at best and just plain bland most of the time. An experience that leaves a lot to be desired which is a shame because the hotel itself and the rooms are beautiful.

There were a lot of insects in the room all the time. No hot water and no phone to call the front desk. A little walk in to order to ask for any service. No swimming beach at all.

Wonderful service and a special destination, highly recommend!

Perfect relaxing calm setting

Excellent private location at the end of the beach, but still accessible to town. Very clean rooms. Sea view is worth the price with room for couples to spread out. Very low key clothing optional beach. Excellent service from all staff. My only suggestion for improvement is to add more beach umbrellas. There are only 8 for the entire property. We ended up buying one in town and bringing it to the beach every day.

We stayed at El Alquimista for four nights in one of the bungalows right at the beach. Super cute design! Very minimal in terms of space which was fine for us - bed with mosquito net (and they provide mosquito repellent), bathroom, separate shower, small table and a bit of storage for your things. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves was pretty awesome, and we enjoyed lounging on our verandah every day. Staff were always pleasant and super helpful. The property itself is incredibly well thought out and just straight up beautiful! We also had massages at the spa 10/10 recommend. Would absolutely stay here again if we're back in the area.

I booked two nights here as a gift to my sister for her birthdays. The hotel is a 4 star hotel, The room was $300 cad dlls per night, we’ve been to the restaurant many times the pictures looked good. It was the last room left but I assumed it would be decent. When se arrived se was given a room with NO windows, dark dingy and not very clean. only one of the photos shown on the description was from the actual room we booked. It was so disappointing to spend $600 dlls for such a headache for her. The front desk staff said this happens because Expedia takes a while to update photos (not sure why they would advertise the wrong photos in the first place) i called Expedia to complain and they gave me a fake email address.m to reach out to. At 8:30 am the cleaning ladies were out with loud music dancing and taking care of a baby at the same time. My sister had to ask them to turn it down as they were trying to sleep in on a Sunday on their “holiday”. How is this worthy of 4 star hotel charging such outrageous fees? What a nightmare specially when you’re trying to give someone you love a break from life. I wouldn’t go back and I do not recommend.
