Stayed two nights. Friendly staff. Unfortunately the a/c system blowing cold air has a mold issue. Woke up each morning with bad mold symptoms. The toilets were always dirty throughout the stay. Shower facilities need updating. It doesn’t get quiet until around 1-2 am, as it’s next to some live music each night. First night i arrived, my pillow case has a bit of blood on it, but got it changed fast. All in all it seemed like a nice stay, but it should be half the price as listed. Things are getting out of hand for how expensive tulum is in general for the quality it’s offering isn’t up the the price point.

Beautiful property with an interesting layout. The rooms were very clean. A/C blows cold, my room had an exhaust fan too which was nice. The facilitators for the therapies were very experienced amd knowledgable. They were also incredibly sweet people who made you feel cpmfortable, safe, and like family. There is also an attached restaurant at the front, Birria, which has very good food at better prices than the other restaurants in the surrounding area.

Great room with a great location. 10 minute bike ride to beach with cheap streetfood about a 10 minute walk away. The tranquility of the pool area was very relaxng and free drinking water is always a plus. Will be back for sure.

Not for business

It's a hostel not a hotel. The description didn't have the part where the bathroom is shared. The bathroom is far from the room and you get wet if it's raining and you can get wet if you have to go to the bathroom.

I loved how attentive the staff was to all my guest and my needs. They went far and beyond offering their best services from services in the facility to what the area offered they would find tours to bike rentals to taxi services to the best beach clubs and best restaurants in the area. I can’t thank Hef and Yesenia enough for all the love I felt I highly recommend this place to all searching for a place to rest and find yourself.

The ambience of this property was wonderful! The friendly staff made it feel like home. There were unique wellness options and the cheapest tacos around! Juan Jose and Hector at the desk we're very accommodating the security and cleaning ladies were super friendly! My room was unique and perfect for me and my little dog. I loved the pool... There is a group kitchen which was wonderful the AC worked great close by to grocery gasoline a few bars and restaurants... Close enough to the beach to enjoy without the insanity of the traffic on the Beach road. I really loved the way everyone was friendly with my service dog- I think we both could have stayed forever!
