Excellent service, great grounds, beautiful beach and food is phenomenal. Rooms are spacious but beware mosquitoes. Our room had constant mosquitos in it, if your type to get bitten, bring deet. My husband and I got eaten up. If you’re sensitive to noise, bring earplugs, you hear birds very loudly starting 6am.

Rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate management. Splurged 6K for the week for the room with the private “pool” which after being in it for 30 minutes, dyed my swimsuit a gross green yellow color that did not come out despite washing it.
The manager told me it wasn’t their fault (even though they knew this happened before, and didn’t warn me) and refused to compensate me $175 for the bikini. They never showed any consideration whatsoever, and basically just told me I was wrong. No apologies, no accountability. I was shocked at how rude I was treated, quite frankly.
I never expected a hotel this expensive to have such rude staff and absolutely zero customer service skills. The price does not match the experience.
I had a very pleasant experience at Ma’xanab. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Service was definitely impeccable. Great food and drinks all around. The rooms were cleaned 2 times a day. Very relaxing experience and would definitely recommend.
Room was very nice spa like. Clean staff were very helpful and left snacks in the room daily. Bathroom walked out into a private outdoor space with a hammock and extra outdoor shower
The location is very convenient for restaurants and shopping, the restaurant at the Ma’Xanab is excellent as well! The beach and atmosphere of the hotel are one of a kind! The rooms are just perfect with a warm private pool and a great bed and shower, our view of the sunrise over the sea was beautiful! The staff one and all love them! Timothy and Kim Tufts!
This place was amazing! The staff are next level (Milo, Jose, Mario, Luis and Leo) knew our names and likes and dislikes within hours. The food and drinks were also amazing. I’d come back in a heartbeat!

Clean rooms Yes Clean Hotel Showers you are to die for Bed was perfect .In Tulum, this beachfront hotel stands out for its beauty. While there are many impressive hotels along this beach, the exceptional staff at this particular hotel have made our stay the best we've had in a long time, outshining our experiences at numerous hotels globally. Special recognition is due to Jose, Milo, Leonardo, and Mario, whose dedication and kindness have elevated this hotel to a luxurious oasis, with their warm hearts being the ultimate luxury. The genuine connections they fostered with us, sharing laughter and stories, as well as discussing our families, have made this vacation truly special. The exemplary service provided by these staff members has earned this hotel a reputation as a true gem in Tulum; accolades are well-deserved. These guys deserve a big bonus or at the very least a giant thank you for their services.
The room was musty. The service from the waiters was the best part of our stay. We ended up going to Akumal to a beach club there. The smell of the seaweed made it impossible to stay around long. Of course, this is no fault to the hotel. Just something to know.
It appears this probably used to be a nice place to stay. But, they are not a above a two star establishement. We have stayed in other places for the same cost in the Riveria Maya. They had many more amenities and were much cleaner than this place. We usually ate breakfast and left for the day.
It was a wonderful experience and our stay here was amazing. Everyone here was wonderful. We had a great time and people at Ma’xanab were amazing and made us feel at home. We are definitely coming back and staying at the Ma’xanab.
The loveliest boutique hotel in Tulum! The room was modern and spacious, but what really sets Ma’xanab apart from the rest is the service. Before we had even arrived, the concierges were reaching out via WhatsApp to offer assistance planning our trip. They helped us book transportation, excisions, and massages. We felt most comfortable booking through the hotel to ensure quality and safety, they won’t lead you astray. The restaurant staff were friendly and the food was some of the best we had in Tulum. Fresh fruit and delicious breakfast was included every day. They also had bicycles for us to use, which allowed us to visit the Parque del Jaguar, town, and various restaurants. The bikes were free of charge and made everything much more accessible. We loved every moment and would recommend to any couple looking for a romantic getaway. Thank you Fabiola, Valeria, and Jose or making our vacation so wonderful!
This is a boutique hotel with only 16 rooms. You have attention and the staff gets to know you quickly. They have exceptional service and the rooms are extremely comfortable.
