This place is amazing, staff food and location, Griselda was the best very professional and friendly person, very attentive, but overall all the staff made is feel welcome, the food at both restaurants was delicious a bit pricey but worth it, the shrimp tacos were the best. Unfortunately it looks like the place is under renovations by the pool area so we weren’t able to really enjoy the pool but this place deserves a 5 stars and I can’t wait to be back l.

The staff were some of the the most helpful and friendly people I have ever dealt with when traveling. This says a lot as I travel half the year. The food and drinks at the restaurants was wonderful. The one thing I will point out is that the hotel owners need to work on updating broken patio furniture and the hotel as a whole. For what they charge it really was sad to see the hotel looking worn out. Note: we had 4 villas (not really a villa more like room with deck) for 7 days and the air con did not work well in one of the villas. Power was out several times for long periods which meant no water either but we understand this can be typical in the area. The highlight besides the beauty of the area was the staff.

Absolutely a lovely little slice of bohemian beauty; smack right on the beach. A True rustic beauty that is on the beach but away from the madness of the main district of Zona Hotelera. Both restaurants on the property are lovely; Olivia has sensational, fresh breakfast and Agave on the beach for lunch is lush (fab tacos). Biggest brownie points go to the staff who are warm and kind and endearing, if you’re looking for something that feels truly local but safe and clean and extremely quiet and tranquil, this is it.

I visited in March (which I think is was a quieter time of year in Tulum) looking for a relaxing place to unwind. Hotelito Azul was EXACTLY what I hoped it would be. The property (including the beach) is absolutely beautiful, and my room was lovely, clean, and well air-conditioned, with its own hammock on the private balcony. The vibe was completely relaxed and "tranquillo," and the staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. In particular, Carin at the front desk and Jorge at Agave made sure that we had everything we needed. And a special thank you to Griselda, who kept my room perfectly clean and was super friendly and welcoming!
