“Good Hotel and Friendly Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is good and the most amazing part is the very friendly staff. All the staff members are very helpful. They go beyond their way to help their customers. The room was clean, spacious, and decorated very well. There is a room for improvement with the restroom (mainly shower). The hotel has a good looking pool and a restaurant. The ruins are 6-8 km from the hotel. We can find lot of taxis from the hotel to the ruins. I recommend the hotel for the room and for the friendly staff.

We liked our stay at Villa Tulum, The rooms and pool were not as good as they undoubtetly will be next december, but the host Alejandro is someone every 5star hotel would like to employ. He's trying his best to change the hotel around, so let's give him a hand and start booking!

“Enjoyed our stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2009
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Excellent meal but a overly salted for our taste. Location was perfect for us since we casually strolled into town for shopping and some meals. Quick commute on the main hwy to ruins and cenotes. A short (5 min) drive to the beach. Rooms are very simple but clean. We used the pool. The water was clean but the pool bottom needs to be repainted. Very safe and comfortable stay.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and also that you've found friendly and helpful staff. Villa Tulum has new administration now, we definitely work to achive so, we want our guests to feel like home while staying with us.
You are right about the pool, there was a few problems with the maintenance, nowadays the water is very clean and clear and we are planning to repaint it in a short term.
We hope to have you here again soon!

“Expensive yet shabby”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2008
1
person found this review helpful

We couldn't find any accommodation in advance, so booked a night here. It wasn't a disaster, but it was - as other reviews state - expensive and utterly unmemorable.

If they cared about the place they could make it nice, but it looks like they don't bother maintaining it - they just take a fair bit of cash from people who stay for only one night.

Bar area is nice enough, but the rooms don't fill you with confidence that the place is well cleaned.

We were there during peak season and had we not panicked, could have found alternative accommodation on the beach. I strongly suggest you do the same - there should always be rooms at this hotel if you're not successful.
