“Can't beat the beach, great service, but too expensive for what you get”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011 via mobile

TDS is on perhaps the most beautiful stretch of beach in north America. The hotel is at the far end of the hotel strip with few restaurants in walking distance so a rental car is a must...

We found that most of tulum was really way over priced, so with that in mind the value at TDS is not bad. We had the cabana on the beach, which meant beautiful views to ease up to and the breeze kept us cool, however it was also less private and a little unnerving at night being exposed to anyone walking by.

I would suggest staying in one of the rooms one row back and still facing the ocean. They were much more private and seemed better maintained cause they were not exposed to the elements as much.

All in all it was a decent place, next time I will likely try another hotel here however.

“Heaven”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

We loved this placed. We stayed four nights in the Alta Mar suite which is located on the second floor(above Kin)and had a balcony with breath taking views of the beach and ocean. I loved falling asleep each night listening to the ocean waves.
Alexis was a fabulous host who made sure we were comfortable at all times.
He is also an amazing cook! Due to the weather we ate in for 3 nights and were lucky that he made such great meals! The arugula pesto pasta was to die for. The pasta was fresh(not packaged). We met a great British couple that we had dinner with two nights. We enjoyed wine and laughed over great meals.
Can't wait to return. The only tip I would give would be to apply tons of bug spray. We were eaten alive by mosquitos and ants.

Room Tip: Alta Mar and Ixchel are both 2nd floor rooms with great views. La Terraza is ocean front with a nic...

Breath taking views, for couples.
Dinner is really good, and staff very nice and helpful. Private beach.
But not for spoiled:
Beds are not comfortable, toilets not seperated entirely from the room.
No electricty and a/c in rooms.

“Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

I stayed here in February for eight nights. We had the most amazing time and experience. First, we had no problems booking and paying for our reservation. Upon arrival, the place was exactly as described. It was quiet, charming, impeccably clean, and in a breathtakingly beautiful location. We ate often at the on-site restaurant for breakfast and dinner and never had a bad experience. We actually found ourselves thinking when we ate other places that we should have just eaten at the hotel. The food was very fresh, simple and delicious, and the staff friendly and attentive. And we were taken advantage of more than once at some other establishments, but never at Tierras del Sol.

We did find a beetle, lizard or other little friend in and around our room, but it never bothered us. Nor did we ever encounter anything dangerous. It's just part of being in an eco-friendly structure and environment.

We took advantage of our close proximity to Sian Ka'an and spent several days there for the sunset views and kayaking.

I love this place so much that I don't want to tell people about it and I am coming back this winter!

Room Tip: They are all close together and even the garden rooms have beautiful views.

“A slice of heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

We stayed at the Tierras Del Sol for a couple of nights and wished it could have been more. Its location at the far end of the strip, although away from many of the places to eat and drink, makes for a great hideaway from the main group of resorts. Our room (Kim) had a sea view, was very clean and had some great little touches to it. There really was nothing better than to wake up with the sound of the ocean waves and a view of the sea from the room. The main part of the hotel is extremely peaceful and geared towards a very relaxing stay. The food cooked at the Tierras Del Sol was great and I would definitely recommend eating there at least one evening. It really was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay.
