I've been in Playa Azul for my honeymoon, based on a friend's recommendation. It was excellent! If you want to relax, feel the nature, hear the sea, enjoy the beach and forget about the world, this is the place for you. If you want to live your holidays keeping standards, rhythm and facilities of your every-day-city-life... stay away from Tulum!!... More

We just returned today from a 5 day stay at Playa Azul. We were in Cabin 12 and loved it. It seemed that we were the only ones that had privacy on our balcony - it's the jungle view, and not much of a view as the palm trees covered it, but still nice. I will admit that the staff... More

We are at the moment in the playa azul and we are very disappointed. The stuff is sloooow or there is not enough of stuff... For breakfast in the restaurant you lose 1,5 hour at least!!! 20 minutes for bill. I am not surprised that most of guests go to dinner somewhere else. Breakfast begins at 8am so if you... More

This is our second trip to the Tulum beach area, our first overnight stay. The hotel bills itself as an Eco-resort, and there's minimal night time power. You get the notion that they depend on their wind turbine, but there's a propane generator off behind the parking area. Unfortunately the generator kicking on, recharging the batteries, then off, kept my... More

The beach was very nice, the rooms different from each other and special in their way. We had a leakage in our room and got the best room of the hotel in change, without extra charge. We woke up to the panorama view of the sunrise every morning. The breakfast was very good with fresh fruit, homemade jam, croissants and... More

Entrance to the resort is full of local floral and fauna. Very nicely maintained and nicely manicured. The very soft and very fine sand is felt under foot upon leaving the front desk. The front desk was always attended and check in was easy and very efficient. Any time I dealt with any of the staff at the resort they... More

The hotel staff were all very friendly & helpful. The restaurant and bar was well stocked with a good variety available. The room/ cabaña was very clean and towels were provided. The only down side to the room was that the celing fan was verging on stationary meaning that at night the room got very muggy. But I guess this... More

My husband and I stayed at Playa Azul Tulum in September/October 2011 for the second part of our honeymoon in Mexico. We had previously been sent an email to say that the restaurant and club we being renovated and that this wouldn't cause any problems. We had booked cabana 5 just back from the beach, it was quiet and lovely.... More

I reviewed PA after my friend and I went down to Tulum to scout our wedding venues. Since then, there has been a year of planning which culminated in a wedding last weekend at Playa Azul. The brides guests rented out the whole venue so it was all to ourselves from Thursday - Sunday--very cool! The party was a smashing... More
