The greeting when we arrived was great. The service providers were all very helpful, and gave a greeting by name every time they saw me.
They were eager to make sure that I had what ever I needed.
Sergio, The two Cristians were very helpful to me the entire stay. Cristian in the office was a great help planning things to do, and arranging transportation.
The room was in a great location on the beach, just steps away from the water.
The hotel is positioned well in the Tulum hotel zone, walking distance to great restaurants, coffee-Starbuck :), ice cream parlors, bars/restaurants like Ziggy's beach club and others.
I would definately return, and have already recommended it to a friend.
Had a wonderful experience with my daughter. Great location, we were able to walk to all the amazing restaurants in the area. Friendly stafff at Ahau, loved our waiter Sergio. Was very relaxing and serene.
We stayed here for 4 nights during my friend's bachelor trip, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the atmosphere. Our group of 10 girls had such a fun and memorable time. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, and every corner feels like a little slice of paradise. One of the highlights was our rooms being right on the beach!!! Waking up to the ocean views every morning was unbeatable, and having easy access to the beach made the entire stay feel extra special. We felt incredibly safe and comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this hotel and can't wait to go back.
It’s beautiful there! Staff worked continuously clearing beach. Included breakfast was very good. You have to put toilet paper in trash which is gross and it’s kinda expensive, dinner was 50 to 60$ each and drinks 17$ but other than that we loved our stay there. Had a great time!
The entire experience at Ahau was amazing. The resort fully embodies the Tulum vibe. We splurged and enjoyed a 2nd floor King Suite with a beautiful beachfront view. The concierge team was immensely helpful in planning and booking excursions. The beach was fantastic aside from the seasonal sargassum. The restaurant food and service were great. Our waiter, Sergio, took great care of us and always greeted us with a warm welcome & smile. Lastly, the added bonus of free access to The Face of Tulum and Jungle Gym helped set this resort apart from all the others we saw while in Tulum.
We highly recommend Ahau for couples or families seeking the full Tulum experience!

Perfect location, incredible food, great staff. Will stay again in a heartbeat.
We had the bungalows onto the beach and they were phenomenal. The fruit smoothie place was great, staff really friendly, perfectly positioned
Taxis are expensive!
Amazing hotel and great service. The room was very tidy and the outdoor shower added a little extra touch, by combining the nature to the room. Would definitely recommend this place.
