Somewhat walkable

Los Arrecifes was an absolutely gorgeous hotel right on the beach in Tulum. The staff (especially victor) was extremely helpful but there is only a few people so, if you’re looking for that all inclusive resort feel, this isn’t the place for you. But, if you want a place with a beach right in the front and amazing drinks, this is the one! The only downside were that the address was that the gps does not take you to the correct location and there’s no pool. Look for the wooden sign on the left of the road about 1/4-1/2 a mile before the gps tells you to stop. It’s a large closed wooden gate that they have to open for you. Overall a beautiful place to stay. Tulum was decently pricey down by the beach, but if you go to tulum central (for a decent cab fare of $20-$30) then you can get much cheaper prices for food and drinks. Very gorgeous place though. No car necessary because you will just take taxis everywhere.

This is just what you‘d expect of Tulum: An insanely beautiful stretch of sand. Perfect views from every room. Very boutique and private feel. Tasteful decoration. Sophisticated yet casual eateries close by. Convenient parking in the backyard. Although prices in Tulum are very steep by international standards and you usually get less quality than expected, this place was worth every penny.
The bad:
As of January 2021 there are two large beach clubs right next to the property (Taboo and Tantra). Expect very loud, pumping EDM music from about 14.00–01.00 every day. It‘s worse on Saturdays. While walls are thick, the wooden doors let all the sound in and most of the time you feel as if you were inside the club. Even wax earplugs were useless in blocking out the noise. We had a great stay anyways because we love music and everything else about this place is just so nice. But all in all it can really ruin your vacation if you don‘t know what you‘ve signed up for. Be warned.

The room is super comfortable with fantastic ocean's view and private balcony... allowing you to read in your hammock admiring and hearing the waves. Swimming is just a few meters away from the bedroom,
We really relaxed and had a wonderful time there. The staff is really attentive and helpful.
We will miss

We were meant to stay at Los Arrecifes for 4 nights but unfortunately we had to check out the morning after checking in because it was impossible to sleep. The hotel itself is really nice and the staff were absolutely wonderful, but unfortunately the hotel is located right next to some clubs which were playing loud music with bass all day and all night - until 3am! It was so much that ear plugs didn’t help at all, the walls were literally shaking from the bass. The room itself was spacious and luxurious with a great sea view, the location of the hotel on the beach is great - it has a nice beach area and the vibe of the hotel is so nice. Our room was ready to check into early, the lovely staff offered us a free drink each on arrival and everything was amazing until we got back to our room at midnight and then couldn’t sleep until 3am when the loud music finally stopped. It is such a shame that what could be such a lovely boutique hotel has been completely ruined by the super noisy clubs next door. When we complained to the staff they were so polite and understanding and allowed us to check out and refund us for the remaining nights and it was such a shame to leave, but unfortunately we simply could not stay somewhere so so loud. So if you are planning on coming to Tulum to party every night until 3am then this hotel is perfect for you - but if you plan to sleep before 3am some nights and want to get a good nights sleep then avoid (at least until the clubs next door are slapped with some restrictions on super late night music or the hotel improves soundproofing in the rooms).

This hotel is basically a scam and it’s unlivable.. the rooms might be ok (nothing special), but this hotel is so close to the nightclub called Taboo that the walls of the rooms are literally shaking. I know that Tulum is hardly a quiet place these days, but living in that hotel would be equal to sleeping at a techno concert under the stage. Literally unlivable

This place is a gem! It only has ten rooms and feels very cozy. The rooms are clean and each one has a superb view of the sea. But the best part is the staff! They are super attentive and treat you like family! Perfectly located! Simply magical! Cant wait to go back! Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!
