Very comfortable hotel with nice small restaurant on site. Two other hotels in the same ownership group are nearby so that you can walk to them and share the facilities. The pool here is small and the beach access small but you can walk down to a sister hotel And enjoy a change of pace there. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Very relaxed, low-key atmosphere far from the craziness of Cancun. Wonderful balcony and birds and stars at night.

Beautiful, calm and peaceful place tucked away from busy Tulum city. It is our second time to visit this area because it is so beautiful there. Facility was beautiful but some updates might be needed immediately like broken hardwares and kitchen tools such as knife, pots, pans. Bed and service were excellent. We got almost everything we need immediately. You can have whatsapp chat with front office for any questions. The restaurant in the Alea was closed so we had to go to Mereva which is just few min walk for breakfast but it was not a big problem at all. Like most of shores, there are way too much seaweeds piled up so playing in the beach was almost impossible but they have lovely pools and they maintained it well. People consistantly removed seaweeds but it is impossible to remove which I did not know.

Hotel is fine. Good food and clean, well organized rooms. the problem is the location unless you want to scuba dive. The road to the hotel is rutted, potholed and difficult to navigate. It is muddy to walk, and a long way from anything other than the sister hotels. The beach. is rocky and similarly hard to navigate.

We loved our stay here and it was beautiful. The staff was honest and extremely friendly. Everyone that worked there remembered our names and made us feel very safe and comfortable. The actual hotel rooms were very nice and clean. They gave us snacks and drinks every day. There’s a cenote about two minutes walking distance and a few restaurants close by. The beach is lovely and clean and the breakfast is amazing.

Warning: Alea is selling rooms while CLOSED

Despite previous good reviews, this hotel is sadly currently a scam. We arrived to check in Sunday July 13th to find it was closed «for refurbishment». We had booked months in advance and have been continuously reachable via phone/hotels.com. And yet Alea made no attempts to warn us in advance. Instead we were told nonchalantly on arrival that we had been «relocated» to a different hotel where the room we were offered and facilities turned out to be below the standard we had already paid Alea for in advance. We also felt unsafe as this was unlike anything we have experienced on travels in the past. We would not accept the relocation and instead wanted to move to a hotel of our own choice. They told us that this was understandable and that we could get a refund after emailing the manager at Alea, which we did before we left. He has not responded to that nor to other attempts to contact him since, and has not refunded our payment for a stay that was supposed to be 6 nights but never happened! Hotels.com say they are working on getting our money back from the hotel, but as I write this they have not succeeded. We do not understand why Alea is allowed to continue selling rooms that are in fact unavailable, but hope their listings will be taken down shortly to prevent even more customers from being disappointed.

Very, very, disappointing, to say the least!...i payed $950. usd. For 2 basic rooms, for 3 nights. Rooms were very dated, and smelled bad. Asked if we can get upgraded since the place looked empy and was told they didn't have the availability. Lol. Wish i could've gotten a refund but they wouldn't. I was gonna post some pictures, but realized i didn't even bother taking any pics!! Pools were not even worth getting in. I say avoid!
