This was our first stay of our big Tren Maya trip. Upon arrival we had some commuting issues but the staff were accommodating, attentive and helpful. We stayed here twice within our 2 week trip. We would recommend this stay to others.

This place is truly beautiful. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere extremely relaxing. Shared facilities but all the time clean. It is in a perfect location between the beach and the town.

This place is amazing! Super relaxing, beautiful and eco friendly. Loved the food onsite and the options around it. It is not your usual Tulum place and that is what makes it the best

This has to be the best value for the dollars spent that I’ve ever experienced on a hotel/ air bnb/ etc. From the friendly staff, to the welcoming kitty that “I think” lives there, to the feeling of being in the deep forest while only minutes from downtown- this place has it all. If you are looking for luxury, this probably isn’t it. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience at an incredible value- this is it. Beware that you are on a main strip with night clubs and bars, however, it isn’t too bad.

Checked in but didn't stay. Not a good vibe.

We checked in but did not stay the night. As two female travellers we felt uncomfortable staying here. We were unable to go into our intended room as the cleaners son had thrown up in there but we were quickly moved to another room. There are communal showers and toilets. The showers are dimly lit and there are no doors so we felt uncomfortable showering. There were a lot of work men around also, hanging around the shower and toilet block. And then we found several hairs and stains in our bed. When we left at 8-9pm there was only security there who offered to move us into a new room but we declined. The hostel also promotes DMT and their own type of therapy, which is fine if you are into that but I think it's good to know what you are walking into.

The pool was cloudy and did not look fit for swimming. I would not get in that water. The bed sheets were not clean, there was dirt and even strands of hair. I ended up leaving and going and staying somewhere else. I would not go back there personally.

Me gustó que a pesar de ser una habitación pequeña es muy cómoda y cálida para pasar un día (en mi caso). La tina era tal cual la descripción y la cama muy cómoda!
