I showed up in the property was closed for so-called “renovations for weeks“ and I was moved to a different hotel so I honestly can’t even give a review of the property cause I never even saw it. Except for one staff member on site I was barely communicated with at all about this situation. Don’t book with this hotel unless you wanna be scammed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

My room had the most gorgeous view of the ocean! Waking up to that sunrise was unbelievable. Other reviews say the road leading up to it was “terrible” this is untrue. It is rocky but it’s simply unfinished, not that bad! The staff is polite the restaurant has great food! The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed I enjoyed my stay

Beautiful, calm and peaceful place tucked away from busy Tulum city. It is our second time to visit this area because it is so beautiful there. Facility was beautiful but some updates might be needed immediately like broken hardwares and kitchen tools such as knife, pots, pans. Bed and service were excellent. We got almost everything we need immediately. You can have whatsapp chat with front office for any questions. The restaurant in the Alea was closed so we had to go to Mereva which is just few min walk for breakfast but it was not a big problem at all. Like most of shores, there are way too much seaweeds piled up so playing in the beach was almost impossible but they have lovely pools and they maintained it well. People consistantly removed seaweeds but it is impossible to remove which I did not know.
