The staff were amazing and the rooms I would rate as a 2- 3 star. … we paid over $800 for a 2 night stay. The amenities were scarce coffee / tea etc.The fridge was warm/ no restaurants / bar/ coffee shop on site but rather you were directed to what were identified as Sister sites for dinner/drinks away from the resort. The beach is very small and not at all what we expected . It’s a hotel that needs some serious updating the hot tub and pools were unusable during our stay as the water appeared to be stagnant. I don’t normally write negative reviews but we were very disappointed in our stay at Alea Tulum and would not recommend it for fellow travellers, particularly at this price

We had a lovely vacation at Alea Tulum with our 5 and 8 year old. The ocean view was breathtaking and we thoroughly enjoyed the pools as a family, beach walks, sea kayaking and use of snorkels, life jackets and water shoes to explore and visit cenotes. The room was perfect, and the front desk staff made us feel welcome and were very kind and helpful for anything we needed. We rented a car and enjoyed Alea Tulum as our home base for adventures. Thank you Samantha and the other Alea staff for a beautiful stay!

This property is way overpriced, it looks nothing like the pictures . The room had small ant like bugs all over the floor, the last day and a half the rooms smelled like sewage in three out of the five rooms our party reserved. The hotel sales its location as a hotel with two restaurants and a bar. Hotel Alea has neither on premises ( they are located a their sister properties instead). We booked a sky view room and expected to have the experience i. the pictures. The plunge pool was DISGUSTINGLY dirty along with other pools on that property. That is NOT wha I paid for and spending your hard in money to have access to this private pool on your deck is what i paid for . Pieces of the building fell off into the main pool.

This was the worst hotel I have stayed at and it’s not cheap at $500/night/room. The pool towels had stains on them, our sheets smelled badly, the toilet was not flushing for the first 2 days of our stay and the description of amenities is false. They don’t have a gym or any food service. The beach is very rocky and small - for similar price you can stay at much better places

A Hidden Gem in Tulum – Pure Relaxation Alea Tulum is an absolute dream. From the moment you arrive, the peaceful atmosphere and stunning beachfront set the tone for a perfect stay. The hotel is beautifully designed — boutique, intimate, and surrounded by nature — making it ideal for anyone looking to unwind and disconnect. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully styled with natural details that blend perfectly with the surroundings. Waking up to ocean views and the sound of the waves was unforgettable. The staff truly makes this place special — kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything you need. The pool and beach areas are serene and never overcrowded, offering the perfect balance of luxury and tranquility. Whether you’re enjoying breakfast with an ocean view, relaxing by the infinity pool, or watching the sunrise over the water, every moment at Alea feels peaceful and restorative. If you’re looking for a calm escape away from the busy hotel zone, this is the place. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Alea Tulum to anyone seeking relaxation, beauty, and genuine hospitality. 🌴✨

This hotel is currently closed and I received no notification of this, hotel accepted my reservation and is still accepting reservations for tonight. I turned up to a locked door, found my way down a side alley onto the beach and into the hotel and it was like a ghost town, really scary as a solo female traveller. There was no sign on the door to say it was closed either. Tried calling hotel phone number and no answer either. I thought on my feet and made my way down the severely potholed road to the sister hotel Nerea where they told me I had been rebooked. I was really shaken up by the whole experience and very lucky I had my own vehicle or I would have been stranded. I tried on multiple occasions to speak to hotel management and was continually fobbed off and told they were out of town. I travel all over the world on a regular basis and have never experienced anything like this. I can’t believe both Expedia and Alea itself are still accepting reservations for this place. DO NOT BOOK, it’s a scam.

Very, very, disappointing, to say the least!...i payed $950. usd. For 2 basic rooms, for 3 nights. Rooms were very dated, and smelled bad. Asked if we can get upgraded since the place looked empy and was told they didn't have the availability. Lol. Wish i could've gotten a refund but they wouldn't. I was gonna post some pictures, but realized i didn't even bother taking any pics!! Pools were not even worth getting in. I say avoid!
