Playa Ruinas Tours and Activities

Excellent location for first-timers , solo travelers and anyone who rather be in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Breakfast menu can be better but not a big deal. The only thing was that the charge for washcloths if you they can’t get the stain out which most women wear some form of makeup so ladies bring your own. Not very busy location and easy to get to things from that location. Overall, great stay!

The property itself was great. Right on the beach, the room had a private pool. It was a perfect getaway spot if you are looking to be a $20-30 ride away from the big parties. The staff was readily available to help via WhatsApp. The rest of this list is not really the fault of the hotel but something travelers should be aware of: -May through September is peak sargassum (type of seaweed) season so the beach and water are not really accessible. -The constant reminder to tip and “tip is not included” was a bit annoying. It didn’t change my standard 20% tips but the frequency was annoying -The hotel advertises as “LGBTQ+ friendly.” I’ll say they are “admitting” but not “friendly.” The little jokes and laughs each time an attendant would walk by or after taking an order was a bit childish. Granted, I wasn’t expecting PV- or MC-level friendliness in Tulum but this was unwelcome. All that being said: hotel gets a 5; service 4; Tulum as an LGBT+ welcoming place gets a 2.

Everything was great except the food and drinks were not up to par for the prices.
