We were so disappointed about the service. Upon arrival the staff said do you want a welcome drink as he forgot to asked when we reached the office. There was no warmth at all! Air conditioning kept going off and had to keep msgning them to put it on! After cleaning our room there was no fresh towel given to us. On the 4th of july a hurricane was expected. We are pressured to check out at 11am then it came to 10 30 am when they check out was at 12! The staff was sitting in our patio and outside our door being so noisy and disrespectful. On the 3rd of july they said they will send a complimentary bottle of wine which never came for my Husband's birthday celebration. Worst is my card was charged without my consent as they were in a rush to leave! This is unacceptable! STAFF has to be trained to be more respectful and noisy! Food quality isn't Great! On the 3rd morning, staff was making so much noise on top of our villa cleaning up. Very disappointing!

The resort is great for those who really love to live in the jungle. I disliked the humidity in the room which was always at an all time high no matter what we did with the AC. Our room sliding doors when it would rain would leak rain water in the room that didn’t help with the humidity either and made the room smell bad. The facility needs upgrades as you can tell the wood is getting worn out. Food was ok, we ate better at other locations. Location of the hotel is a great one as it’s right next to the statue of the Luz and other great restaurants such as Rosa Negra and Ilios. I would not stay here again due to the rooms needing some serious upgrades to make your stay and sleep more comfortable.

This property is beautiful, the views are breathtaking. We went for our honeymoon. We had our first night there though in a room where the AC stopped working. Along with it being too hot to fall asleep and the loud club music till 1:30am, This made for a terrible day to follow. The staff and manager were kind and accommodating when we had issues and did refund part of our stay and apologized. But our time was short there and we wished we had chose another place in Tulum. This is not a place for people who aren’t wanting to party all night or light sleepers.

Our stay at Ahau was absolute perfection. Every member of the staff from the check in desk to the beach waitstaff and housekeeping were incredible. We toured several other hotels and none had the combination of rooms, central location and beach access including a pool that Ahau did. I recommend staying on a top floor if you are in a bungalow to enjoy the thatched roof ceiling. The passion fruit margarita is the best in Tulum and the best restaurants are a short walk away. We will def be back. ❤️

Amazing Stay
It was amazing, beautiful room and right on the beach. The only issue was that the shower did not have hot water, and we had no idea it would be outside, which I guess I didn't mind as much as the fact that it was cold water. Other than that, loved my stay and the staff was very welcoming and friendly.
