The tranquility and the friendly staff made my stay memorable but the room we stayed in had several holes in the roof which made my kids scared

Such a fun place to stay! Perfect spot for fun and relaxation. Great staff. Awesome bar happy hour/ restaurant.

10/10

Absolutely perfect for a no-frills beach trip. The staff was phenomenal, friendly, and helpful. Service was great and the staff also was great at sharing local info and recommendations. Couldn’t be easier to walk out of your hotel room and onto the beach with a full bar and cozy beach beds. Gave four stars on facilities only because the AC was down one night because of a power outage so that was a hot night, but was there for 5 nights total with no issues.

We had a wonderful stay with Playa Canek! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and you cannot beat walking from your room to a perfect beach with soft sand and crystal clear water. Our AC didn’t work one the nights we were there, and we couldn’t adjust the temperature during our stay when it was on, but this was pretty minor and otherwise we had a really wonderful time. Would stay here again!

The entrance is not attractive at all. As long as the price continues to be reasonable. We will come back. Highly recommend beachfront rooms. 3rd floor. Great view.

We really enjoyed the simple elegance of the property. The penthouse suite was reasonably priced relatively speaking, had amazing views and was ad advertised w/ plenty of space. The location was also A for enjoying the Tulum beach hotel / restaurant zone within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful, A/C at night was just what you needed for a good rest, and breakfast while small hit the spot daily to start the day off with a snack.

The staff was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed our stay here. Super affordable and the place is stunning! The free breakfast was amazing and the massages we got were incredible! The only downside we had staying here was that there’s extremely limited parking (6 spots) and if there’s no room for you, you have to park across the street for $18 a night. Also, the pool pictured online, is a private pool not accessible to guests.

This hotel is a scam. We prepaid for our two night stay in full, on Expedia with itinerary numbers and confirmation numbers to prove it. The manager refused to give us a room, claiming he was in some sort of feud with Expedia and wasn’t getting paid. He demanded we pay him directly, AGAIN for the same room. Over an hour on the phone with Expedia, and Expedia told us to just pay again for the room, and that they’d refund us later. Guess what, Expedia lied and refused to refund us after the trip. We had to contest the charges with our credit card company and weeks after our trip we’re still fighting it out between Expedia who lied, our credit card company, and the hotel which doesn’t respond to anyone by phone or email. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. It’s a SCAM

I wanted a true room on the beach mixed in with the jungle and this hotel delivered in full! Just. Wonderful. After staying in Cancun I craved the completely opposite experience. The hotel almost melted in to the beach and i slept with the door open to hear the surf which was literally only 50 feet away. I loved it!

My beach front room, the only thing I didnt like waws that they shut down the power during the day

The family suite is LOVELY but so freaking noisy!! We could hear dogs bark, all the cats drive by, so hard to sleep. Aside from that this room was PERFECT.

10/10

We stayed for 11 nights and had a fantastic time. The hotel is a wonderful place to have a vacation. Paulina in such an amazing hostess. Bruno is a wonderful owner and host. The staff are all super helpful and friendly. This is a small family owned hotel with that special touch. Do not expect all areas to have personnel at all times. But they are easy to find and so very helpful. The access to the beach is perfect. Our room on the third floor was so beautiful with an amazing view of the beach, sunrises and moon rises. We would highly recommend.

Everything was great. It was a very small hotel with beach bar & restaurant. Expect to pay around 100 pesos for a beer and 250 pesos for a cocktail. although I brought my own beer to the beach area. Air conditioner was shut off around 9 AM until 7 PM.. Electricity was shut off for a few hours here, and there during the day, but not all day. The room was very clean and the hot water was excellent with lots of pressure. The nights were very quiet and easy sleeping. The breakfast was just basic with eggs,toast and a little bit of fruit and juice or coffee. The staff was very friendly at all times. And it was an excellent location on the beach, very clean, and there was a man there cleaning up seaweed, but there was hardly any to begin with.(it depends on the time of the year with the seaweed.) I would stay here again.

This is a bare minimum kind of place. Much of the time there will be no internet and often no power. It is difficult to find someone working for the hotel if you have a problem. I'm allergic to mold and had major issues with my asthma and allergies. I paid half through expedia and showed the expedia receipt but they said they never got it. So i had to pay the full price again.

I will never stay here again and considered asking for a refund. When we arrived the front desk staff tried to take both my drivers license and my car key to keep while I stayed there. They didn’t offer any explanation of why they needed to do this. The hotel listing said that they had parking available. They don’t! They have a small, narrow driveway that can fit one or two cars and the space is first come first served, so we couldn’t rely on having a secure place to keep our rental car. There were no outdoor lights over the stairs leaving up to our room and the plants were over grown, so walking up to the room at night I almost fell and injured myself. The door to the room did not have a dead bolt, only a flimsy lock on the handle. The door did not close properly and there was a quarter inch gab under the door where bugs came in. We had to chase cockroaches out of the room several times. The beach was not well maintained. There was garbage everywhere and the beach chairs and beds were moldy and stained. The food was expensive, even by American standards, and really bad. I ordered tacos and they were cold and the fish was under cooked. I was charged $7 for a small cup of weak coffee that they made me walk back to the kitchen to get. I’m a pretty laid back person, I don’t expect perfection. But this place is not worth your time or money.
