This little boutique hotel was like staying in a wellness focused luxury treehouse in the jungle. We absolutely loved our stay. Lush greenery all around and from every window view. A gorgeous beach with excellent beachside loungers, towels, and a bar. The staff and service were exceptional at every moment of our stay. The AC also worked very well during our December visit. We stayed in a garden view room with a kitchenette. The cooking tools were minimal but enough to prep simple meals for two. The tacos and Pina Coladas at the onsite restaurant were delicious. Real ingredients and handmade tortillas. We enjoyed the morning yoga class as well. We can’t wait to return to this beautiful and slightly rustic refuge. Note: Rooms on the ground level are recommended for folks that have challenges with stairs. As two 40 year old fit and able-bodied folks, we did fine getting up the spiral staircase to the upper levels of the main building thanks to help from the staff with our luggage.

It was even better than the pictures! Such a well maintained stunning property, loved being on the top level with garden view was lovely and if you walked around the balcony you could see partial ocean view. The staff were super attentive and remembered you and were there to help with a smile. The restaurant food was lovely, and right across the street we had options of poke, açaí, tacos and a bar. Loved being able to visit the sister property Ahau (10 min walk) which is a larger hotel, the food is more diverse there but more expensive obvi. I think Alaya is more family appropriate and recommend Ahau for adults. Both have a clean white sand beachfront. Will def visit these properties again. We took our two yr old and we Loved loved our stay! Def recommend.
We were able to visit this art museum for free, we went twice, at night when its all lit up and daytime.

As soon as we checked in we were greeted with mosquitos! Don’t go here if you don’t want to get eaten alive! We initially booked the apartment suite because we wanted more room. We were told that Expedia “upgraded” us but the room they “upgraded” us to was smaller and most of the outlets in the room didn’t work. We wanted a refrigerator brought up for water and it started leaking into the floor. We were also told that breakfast was included in the “upgrade” but after receiving the breakfast we were given a bill and told that it wasn’t included. That was the final straw for us so we checked out and asked for our money back in which we were told we could not be refunded. After Expedia tried to contact them several times about the matter they never responded and I never got my money back. Tulum is dead and not a lot going on so I would steer clear of Tulum and this property unless you want to party with the mosquitoes.

Cute property. Well maintained. Staff courteous and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and simple, not many options. Rooms clean and beautifully decorated. Close to restaurants walkable felt safe in the area. The view was magnificent. You could walk out directly to the beach, which was just a few steps away. View were welcomed with a bottle of champagne on arrival. Beds were comfortable. My only complaint is the mosquitoes, but the staff used citronella candles and offered bug repellent lotion/sprays. We visited in September, but apparently that is a breeding season of the mosquitoes. I don’t know if some sort of mosquito repellent sprays by pest control could be done. But overall pleasant stay. Will definitely come back and stay at the property..

The place itself was beautiful, but the beach was dirty and smelled terrible, so I couldn’t even use it. On top of that, the breakfast situation was a complete disappointment. I booked this hotel because it advertised breakfast included, yet when I asked, they only offered me coffee and said I had to pay for everything else. That’s misleading and unacceptable. Because of this, I refused to eat any meals at the hotel. The prices were ridiculously high for tourists. Even the taxis arranged by the hotel were outrageously expensive, clearly taking advantage of visitors. Yes, the location is nice, but I would never recommend this hotel. I wasted a lot of money in a very short time and left feeling completely frustrated. Definitely not worth it.
