If you’re looking for a quiet retreat this is not the place . We were in the garden room right next to the kitchen. I heard the kitchen utensils and pots and pans, banging until late into the evening when the kitchen closed and then early in the morning and late at night I could hear children, crying, and scream screaming around us. More of a family retreat. There was only one restaurant on site however, if you wanted to go and choose other restaurants, you could walk along the streets and find other restaurants. It was just a little inconvenient.

Beautiful hotel

It’s a wonderful hotel. It’s small so the attention to detail and comfort is above and beyond. The staff is incredibly friendly and gracious; the beach and amenities are clean and well-attended; and the overall feel is that of staying in a private treehouse.

A good hotel with a beautiful beach. The staff are friendly. The food is excellent. The room we had was the apartment - would not recommend as super loud overlooking the street (lots of traffic / noise) and very dark (bit like a cave!).

Our stay at Alaya Hotel Tulum was absolutely magical! From the breathtaking beachfront views to the serene atmosphere, every moment felt like a slice of paradise. The rooms were beautifully designed, blending luxury with nature in a way that made us feel completely at peace. A huge thank you to Brenda and Stefano, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Brenda was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, while Stefano’s local tips and friendly demeanor made exploring Tulum even more enjoyable. They truly made us feel at home. We’re already dreaming of our next visit and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alaya Hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating escape in Tulum. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We had a wonderful stay overall. The property is well maintained and the service is excellent. I do not recommend going to their sister hotel for the Beach Club access. There’s not much of a beach club there. We preferred the beach setting on the property.
