The area not great, unpaved road, subject to flooding. Across from residents living in metal houses. So not a nice view. We reserved a deluxe studio. The bed was basically on the floor, the frame was so low. And the mattress was terrible. Sunken in the middle and hard, got home with a stiff neck and sore back. The toilet wouldn’t work at times. Hot water lasted about 5 mintues. Basically, the AC was the only good thing. Staff is friendly. Housekeeper expected a tip everyday. Restaurant in the hotel, which was convenient but will not be staying here again. Don’t be fooled by the pictures.

This was the WORST EVER experience!!!!!!! When we arrived, there was NO ELECTRICITY. The guests were in an uproar and the hotel employees (who hardly spoke english) cancelled everyone's reservations. Everyone had to run around Tulum at night, looking for a new stay. However, the hotel guranteed a full refund for the 3 nights. I GOT NOTHING!!! I spoke to several representatives from Expedia and they stated that they could not contact the manager. I went back to the manager and she promised a refund. Again I contacted expedia and still, I did not get compensation for my 3 nights and 4 days.
