2 Star Hotels in Riviera Maya

I have stayed in Tulum before and I was pleasantly surprised at the how clean the room was. It is very comfortable and the owners are friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

All the staff are really helpful and the animation team was AWESOME!!

This is a very simple hotel about 4.5km down the Tulum beach road. The outside environment is beautiful--well taken care of beach 'jungle' and a pristine section of beach. Many other hotels in this area (in particular, those to the north) have beaches which are rocky or dirty--not the case with this hotel. The rooms are basic--a bed private bath and hot shower with nothing but a fan and the ocean breeze in lieu of air conditioning (you don't need it). We stayed in a jungle room, which still had a nice breeze from the ocean. The restaurant was good--much less expensive than some of the higher-end places near by. I like to eat typical Mexican food while in Mexico--huevos rancheros, tacos, fresh fruit, etc., all of which just don't have the same flavor as they do in the U.S.A. I think it may be the water--kind of like New York bagels. The restaurant, run by Corina, is exactly what I look for. Also check out Camello's in Tulum pueblo. If you are looking for high-end cuisine (e.g. Italian, Thai) or restaurants with chef's from New York rather than Mexico, there are plenty around. There are two things that you can't beat about this hotel: the beach, which is a given, and the staff. Ray, Corina, and the rest of the staff were the best of the best. They treated us so well, and were accommodating in every way possible. It was nice to have staff that got to know you and your preferences while you are there. They really made us feel comfortable.

Convenient hotel location, on main 5th Avenue and one and half block away from beach. The negative, only five channels available in standard room.

Great location, awesome staff, beautifull mexican hotel and good price. We just loved it!:)

I only spent one night in this hotel and it was enough for me. I felt like in a commune and I could clearly hear our neighbors trough a ventilation whole between our bedroom and their bathroom. The rooms are clean, but very basic and I recommend spending more and getting one with AC. Having said that, I must admit that the patio is very nice, with little palm trees and hammocks. If it were a HOSTEL, I would say it is a superb hostel, with a lot of charm. However, a little to basic and crowded for a HOTEL. Students and backpackers will for sure enjoy it.

I have stayed in Playa Del Carmen a few times before and so I was familiar with the area enough that when I booked my vacation package, I wasn't too concerned about the hotel accommodations. I wanted to be close to the beach and 5th avenue where the bars, restaurants, and shops were. Since I am a solo male traveler and don't spend much time in my room, I am not very picky about accommodations, however, the design of this hotel was not very well thought out. It is kind of dark in the courtyard area. There was construction going on and it didn't seem to have any atmosphere to it. I would equate it to the "Motel 6" of Mexico. When I entered my room, I was disappointed because it was cold and "hospital" like. The only windows in the room were a set of french doors that opened to the pool area in the courtyard,...which was right near the hallway that was the entrance to the hotel, so unless I wanted everybody to see me sleeping and getting out of the shower, I had to have the shades pulled the entire time, so I got no natural light in the room. Also, the AC unit was positioned such, that the air blew right onto your head at night in bed.....which wasn't so bad except that it started to spit out droplets of water one night, making it a royal pain trying to put up towels to prevent the water from spitting on me all night long. I would probably not stay at this hotel again. I do want to reiterate that the staff was very friendly and the hotel in no way reflects the wonderful staff.
